Show TUB RIGHT WELCOME TO THE RIGHT MKN. It may bo presumed that among the many correspondents who "snow in" the active corresponding secretaries of our chamber of commerce and mining and real estate exchanges with inquiries about every conceivable thing ' to tho mining, manufacturing and commercial commer-cial advantages of Utah , some few will be found to visit us with their senses alert and their pockets full of money, anxious to avail themselves of opportunities oppor-tunities to pitch in and grow up with thecountry. Tho courteous secretaries named, no less than the well-posted members of the various journalistic staffs of this city, would gladly refer them to prospectors here who are to the manor born, familiar with tho advantages of various localities and who would furnish reliable information without money and without price. The truth is that from the eloquent Micawbers on the street corners to the graceful and threadbare tooth-picker on the steps of our fashionable hotels, now comers hear such astounding descriptions de-scriptions of "finds," "puts" and "takes," that often, after spending time and money in vain search of bonanzas, which may bo found only in dissolving views replete with "still" life and brewery ofTervosenco, they pocket their losses aud retire disgusted. Often tho experts (heaven save tho mark) sent here by men desirous of good investments, invest-ments, have so little (act and so much self conceit that the only profitable strikes they make is within the pockets of their employers. Very few men care to invest money on hearsay simply. It is hazardous to swap horses while crossing cross-ing a stream. Tho sagacious business man will sue for himself the farm or the mino or tho industry into which he proposes pro-poses to put a generous sum of money. The quicker he can get rid of tho madding crowd of air castle prospectors who sit in solemn couelave on every empty beer keg and dry goods box on Main street, the better. Tho legitimate le-gitimate business of every public institution insti-tution for the advancement of the commonwealth com-monwealth in material prosperity, is to publish, in the marts of trade and in the ears of capital and labor, the actual facts and real advantages of the industrial indus-trial situation, and to quietly assist every desirable workor with brains, hands and dollars, to avail himself of golden opportunities. In this way even self-interest may work for the public weal. The individual benefit of seller and buyer conduces to the welfare of tho community at largo. Id a new and sparsely-settled country, active and intelligent in-telligent labor, in unison with honest and legitimate capital, lays deep and broad the foundations for a growing grow-ing commonwealth, and tho individual in-dividual or tho organization which assists in this good work, does tho state good service. It is currently reported that shortly exclusions of business men and Investors Invest-ors from abroad will visit and inspect for themselves the advantages offered by our city and territory. To such a welcome commensurate with the business busi-ness inducements offcredtis sure to be accorded. |
