Show I 1 INT INTERNAL ernal ERNAt development ALTHOUGH much has been done since the settlement of this territory for its tin internal development much remains to be done and the course of events makes increased exertion imperative our territory from north to south is studded with settlements which embowered empowered ered in orchards and shade trees and surrounded by well cultivated farms are the pride of our citizens and the delight of all who visit them whose gall is not jirred by b bigotry go try and prejudice utah has been the base of supplies for the new mining regions around as they have been opened up her ields fields f have furnished the produce which has sustained them until they could obtain their supplies from other sources her first settlers have thus pioneered pi sneered this western country and have given bun BUD support to the enterprise and energy which whish have penetrated opened up and colonized so vast an extent exten of territory as is low now practically added to the national domain between the sierras and the eastern base of the rocky mountains up to the present time the exports and sources of income of the territory have been mainly produce and stock large quantities of our surplus grain have been bought by speculators who have paid for it in goods at an extravagant g ant price and have then hauled I 1 it t OU out t of the territory and sold it in the best bes t cash markets thus re reaping ani ng the arul fruits ts 0 of f the farmers toil toll T the cash obtained d from these sources has gone east and west to purchase more goods intended to pay for more grain that might be sold again for cash thus repeating the same round of transactions stock has also been bought up by speculators and paid for in goods or in cash at low prices and has been driven to the best cash markets and there sold among the numerous changes which the completion of the railroad is expected to bring about that with regard to the revenue arising from the sale of stock and produce is not the least if it be not the greatest the revenue derived from this source has been used in a great measure by those into w whose hose hands it has passed in foreign markets to purchase supplies of goods for the utah trade and the consumption of our citizens A few have wisely followed the lead of president young and have lave brought on machinery machiner y which reduces the gross amount of imports in proportion to the quantity of articles and fabrics manufactured by it with the comple rion of the railroad stocks of imported goods can be replenished easier and more i quickly and there will be no necessity necessia essit for so much capital having to be su sunk bunk N by firms in the mercantile business consequently merchants will be able to live and thrive on smaller profits j freights too are expected to be considerably 1 lower than they have been from these causes it is expected exper ted that imported goods will be much cheaper in this mar ket het than they have been but if one dollar will buy as much then as two i dollars can buy dollar must come from some source to make the purchase the railroad will doubtless bring freight at a lower tariff than it has been brought buchow but how much money will it directly bring into the territory to pay for that freight it will doubtless furnish employment not only to a great many men until the construction areat is completed but to a number afterwards and an d thus it will put in circus circulation atlon an amount of available means it also offers us increased facilities for exporting if we have anything to export but industrial pursuits will have to be developed ve loped so that we can be in a position to supply supply other markets with articles that will find a ready sale the expensive system of irrigation which has to be resorted to in this territory stands as a great barrier in the way of our competing success successfully full fuli with the west in the sale of grain alfornia Ul california fornia can furnish it at a cheaper rate than utah can do and the citizens of that state are now calculating to send to utah salmon and other articles of bonsu consumption p t bonwith ion lon with most of which we ought 9 to supply ly ourselves we have made in an axce excellent ent beginning for becoming a fruit growing community excelled nowhere on the continent we can grow and export large quantities of fruit of various kinds and make it remunerative we have around us all the elements for successful silk culture and if the business is entered into largely and with energy a very considerable revenue can be derived from it the raw and manufactured silk will bring ready cash prices and the sale of eggs is a subject of of such importance as to create at the present time very considerable uneasiness in as large silk growing countries as france and italy through the difficulty they experience in abt obtaining g sound and good eggs the cultivation of superior breeds of sheep and the obtaining of finer and heavier clips of wool with the importation of more machinery for its manufacture will still further decrease the amount of our imports and enable us to increase our exports to cash markets today to day we have offered for sale in thi city california and oregon woolen goods yet we have every thing within ourselves but machinery which we might have had to enable us to compete successfully with california oregon and other markets in these fabrics but the most imhof tant i industrial du enterprise e that could be developed here is the manufacture of iron foundries in successful operation with shops would place within our reach castin gsand iron and steel goods which have now to be freighted at very high cost because of their weight stoves and other things which have kave to be bought at apparently very prices the development of the iron mines in the territory would give employment to machinists enable us to make instead of import the laborsaving labor saving saving machinery we need for agricultural and an manufacturing purposes and would open bp hp sources bf f wealth the importance of which can now be scarcely estimated ti the iron is here and can be made available and the attention of our capitalists should be turned to it the subject opens up too widely to receive justice in one article |
