exhibition which ia is to be ba held in this city on the ath and oth ath of next october tile the address of the society and the list of premiums should be carefully read by all classes for all are interested in the objects for which the society has been organized and in the production tion of the stock and articles for which premiums are offered too much importance cannot can not be attached arto such exhibitions as this in this territory the attention of the people is awakened at the present probably more so than at any previous period of our history to the importance of home industries and the absolute necessity of becoming to a greater extent self sustaining than we have been for some months past our importations m orla orta have increase increased d both in qua quantity atit and variety at an alarming rate rat e including cl until very recently not 0 only n ly the th furniture of our houses but ome lome of or the staple articles of food such huch a policy as this must bo be ruinous to any community situated as we are or with much greater re resources s our ces ees than we possess and if continued will drive us to the verge of bankruptcy when the expenditures of an individual exceed his hia I 1 income n co in e he is j justly regarded as i in ii a very unsafe if it not ruinous condl condi condition tiou tion what id is true of an individual is equally so of a community or a nation even strangers who pass through our country perceive and remark upon our peculiar situation and the imperative pieces necessity ity i of devoting our attention and capital to those branches of manufacture in which we can engage with the greatest benefit to the manufacturer tiie the producer and the consumer hitherto one very great drawback to home enterprise in this direction has been the high price of labor and mater material maternal lal lai the completion of the railroad has produced a great ehan chan change ge and will continue to brine bring about greater chan chanes changes 0 es in ja these respects by a careful perusal of the published lists it will be seen that the tho society has included most of the necessities as well as some of the luxuries of life and that there is a very wido wide field for exercise the of the skill industry and enterprise which exist so abundantly in our midst and we believe the necessary capital could be found to carry on many of the branches of industry referred to itis it is by no means necessary that capitalists should start and have control of all manufacturing establishments in many parts of the world workingmen have termed formed operative cooperative co associations for carrying on various branches of manufactures and there is no reason why they should not do so here it is already being done in a few instances I 1 and may be in a great many more we I 1 have the men and the talent all that is wanting is a united enn eff effort ort on their part in such cases the vexing question between capital and labor need not arise they can ean decide their own wages among themselves and share in the profits of the business it is plain to every reflecting mind that something must be bo done very speedily towards producing at home num rum numerous n numerous erous articles that we now import or many will be in a deplorable condition the country is nearly drained of money and no resource manifests itself from which to replenish we have nothing at present to export we cannot raise grain for that purpose and successfully compete with the grain producing region west our only apparent resource is to turn our atten attention tiou to producing and manufacturing fac turing within ourselves the articles we need for our sustenance and comfort we must either do this or many very many go without them we therefore feel to urge the brethren who are acquainted with these various branches of industry to give this subject their earnest attention and to lend their aid to make the approaching fair the most successful one that li has been held in utah the mere number or even the quality of the articles exhibited but by encouraging it with their presence re sence by examining and comparing the articles produced by meeting I 1 pg and consulting together obtaining all the information pos possible sible in regard to the best means localities cost etc where and by which many of these articles can be produce produced a in sufficient quantities to make them profitable to the manufacturer as well as a blessing to the consumer for years a great deal kasbeer has been beer said and written upon this subject and president young and a few others have bet set praiseworthy examples but the time has hag now come when more general action is imperatively necessary and we commend the in matter
