| Show editorials CASH FOR WOOL coming into the salt lake market in large targe quantities only a few days ago ten thousand pounds was shipped liere here from nevada and was purchased for cash at seventeen cents a pound by the representative of one of our local factories this brings us to a point made in an article which recently appeared in this paper advising our friends to pro fer the home to the speculators in shearing time the notion seems to be entertained by some somo that we conveyed the idea that our mill men mon paid no cash for wool but only exchanged their products for the raw raw material on this licad we will repeat the sacred injunction whoso choso readeth jet let him understand here is what we said word vord for word without change except the italicizing italicising italic ising of a few letters for the sake of emphasis wool will bring the cash from traders and ought to fetch it from the mill men our business should be done on a cash basis antl and where the factories cannot furnish ad all money for the wooi wool they need they should endeavor to mix the pay and give at least a portion of cash with the balance in their products at cash rates we were well aware that there are some factories which pay all ail cash for wool and that more than they need for home colsum consumption selecting th that at which is suitable for their use and shipping the rest away and the phrase where the factories cannot furnish all money 21 etca etc is a tacit avowal that there are some factories which do pay all money but if it will make the matter any plainer and be of benefit to the mill nien men whom we desire to see sustained in their laudable business of working up the raw material and making honest cloth we will say and do now say in so many words that there are some of our mills which pay cash for wool and give as high a price as dealers who buy t to 0 send bend the wool away and their advertisements verti appear in our local papers to that effect what we aimea aimed at and what we still desire is to see the factory people ve pie and the shee sheep raisers work in harmony arm orlys the mirl miri mill men paying good prices in suitable form and the wool men preferring the home workers in their sales above the dealer who merely trades for speculation and a foreign market to effect this harmony there must be fair dealing 0 on both sides aides and if the factory people alev want th ane wool product of utah they should take means to acquaint the people with the inducements they have to ofner offer printer printers ink will help them and the DESERET NEWS has always plenty of it on li hand and THE BRANNAN LANDS SAMUEL BRANNAN of california fame once well known among the mormons Mor mons is engaged ia hi a scheme for or the colonization of certain lands in sonora bonora mexico his interest in that country was obtained by a grant from the mexican government as a return for services rendered to the republic when it was struggling against the power of france prance and the sway away of maximilian mr brannan who took a company from new york round to california in the ship bronold brooklyn yn when the saints migrated from nauvoo overland to utah settled on the coast where he invested in town lots which when san francisco became a large and lively city yielded him great wealth but his riches slipped through his fingers as rapidly a as they flowed into his hands and lie he passed out of public notice for some time during the days when he was flush he very generously aided the agent of the juarez government with money for the purchase of arms and ammunition and this materially teri ally helped the republic to establish itself and throw off the european yoke mr brannan took the bonds of the republic which were then next to worthless in the market for the cash which he advanced and now the mexican aft government takes up the bonds bond giving hing him 81 square leagues of land in fil sonora bonora under certain specified
