Show New Year's Greetings TpOMORROW another New Year will dawn-upon , J the world. It should be hailed with happy greetings. Once more the sun has made its ! , long detour out into space and is now returning, bringing its old promise of another spring and another an-other harvest. The past year has been signally blessed in our country in many ways. There has been peace everywhere and never has farm, or-v or-v chard, factory and mine brour duch treasures to our people. Their abundance Is the envy of the world. The only drawback has been the impotent financial system, which apparently is intended as established now, to keep the masses of the people at work to secure to a few men their regular in- l yog terest and to turn over the profits of a nation's work to foreign powers. Utah has been blessed in ' every way, but two. The' nation's financial policy has caused money in Utah to cease to be a measure meas-ure of values, or any sufficient medium of exchange, ex-change, an some combines of thieves have fast-j fast-j ened their tentacles around the markets of Utah, which has caused the food products of our cities to be about doubled to the people. Aside from these obstacles Utah would be progressing rapidly and the progress of this city would be almost without limitations. The harvests of tho state have been most bountiful; the mines have yielded finely; there is no clog upon any industry; the jf autumn has been lovely beyond comparison; no great calamity has overtaken the state; the i schools are flourishing grandly; there is no rea son whj the state should not enter upon the new If year exultingly. The coming year ought to Bhow I an increase of 1,000,000 arable acres under irrlgat- ing systems; the food supply should be enhanced accordingly. We believe three or four new great mines will be added to the dividend paying lists; three or four new manufacturles should be added to tho present list and places for every idle man who wants to work should be found. New Year's day has been a welcome day to the world since man first began to understand the processions of the seasons; since they understood that winter did not mean the death of the world, but merely a necessary sleep after the labor of bringing forth the harvest, and it has been hailed with rejoicings and happy greetings since men first began to comprehend the goodness of God. To all our readers we renew the happy greetings. |
