Show DONT BE TOO HASTY without intending to be invidious Iet let us make an examination into the matter malter of the proposed safe works fur for this city can any mortal point out what there to ia here at present to be so attractive to those who would make safes looks latchkeys latch Itch keys and so forth we are not producing an ounce of pig iron or metallic iron in any form except as a possible incident in the smelting smelling sm elting or milling of other metals and this does not count in a practical way safes safea cannot be made here or elsewhere without iron of the highest and com pretest grade and such or any iron cannot be produced here with coal at 6 5 a ton could not if it were half of that in fact we way may say that it takes a coal mine to run an iron mine and the two must not be very far apart either this necessary situation not now existing in our midst unfortunately for us it follows that the safe gate makers would have to import either raw or finished materials to turn out the articles promised and as am there is vastly more profit in the latter it follows as a most likely proposition that allour all our safe works would amount to speaking in a general sense would be a shed and the few tools needed in putting tn together gether the knocked down pt safes and looks locks imported from the east surely a thousand dollars would come very idear bear to if it did not quite cover the entire cost of beginning this particular industry even to the point of putting its goods on the market marked when it comes to the marrow of the proposition we can see nothing to be gained by such an institution even if no more than what it actually required to begin operations were not asked it could not in the very nature of things give employment to more ahn a very few men it would be creating nothing in our midst would not be even it if the crude materials were brought on and worked up here and there to is or should i be no disposition oo on the part of our business men to jo antly create aa enter prise for strangers except where utah materials excle exclusively ively or practically so are to be employed from sart to finish fl n job that is where aided a aided prosperity to is to come from and to is of itself the return which those who raibe a bo bonus nue expect from i bet heir r I 1 invest a vast ment we have said thata that a business like the oie previously spoken of would create nothing would thus amount amoun tto to riot nothing bing in a general way i there would be no demand for the home constructed article and thus the money invested would be thrown away if it were all done here corn com with crude materials in the caverns of the earth and ending with the last stroke of we the decorators brush there would then be an incentive to the public to sacrifice Bac something if need meed bein be in patronizing and sustaining the work but not otherwise besides it should be considered that thai the utah market for safes to Is not a wide or ab forbing one and the most of the concerns cerns profits would have to come out of the smaller and lighter products which the factory would have to import bodily just as am our merchants now del do Is it not cot so having nothing but the facts in the case with their logical import to reason from surely no one will undertake to may ay that as a general proposition at least we have either overstated the vase case or thrown a false aal an 1 deceptive Z r light ligh upon it what weal we aim matis at ia hav ing everything understood before anything Is ie doxie done |
