think that all people of common sense
are getting over the idea of making

will be to let women make women of

The wholesale department of the in
stitution, and Wholesale dealers gener-
ally, have had to meet conditions grow
ing out Of legislation in the Interstate
commerce law, which appear to need
soms rectIication. There is room for
an established carload or other rate for
goods loaded at some designated point,
that the iobbers' interest and position
in this regard may be protected, mas
much as their margin is generally
small and on many commodities sim ply
dependent on the rate of fire. ght.
There has been a noticeable increase
during the past year in the number of
small stores in the Territory. New
ventures are continually being made,
and these being mainly without capital,
or nearly so, are continual applicants
for credit at the wholesale markets.
Ali are competitors for local retail
trade; all aim to sell close, and to pay
more for the products of the country
than their neighbors, and this is done,
as they claim, to secure patronage.
Surely it must be evident that many of
these will succumb to the inevitable,
some from lack of experience, others
from the fact that, credit being easy,
they also give credit readily, an' still
others from an Glen exhibited lack of
caution, which, if restrained by either
personal investment or limited credit,
would be better for the trade of the
Territory at large.
The competitive spirit, quite preva-
lent here in trade, often encourages
loose and unstable business methods
Drummers go out. and credit il extend
ed almost without observation, GER
tainly without that consideration by
which safe collections can be counted
upon, as rule, so that the jobber is as
liable to embarrassment from anything
savoring of this indiscriminate opening
of accounts, as is the storekeeper at
retail, be the business great or small.
Very often, too, theinexperienced retail
trader, to secure custom, accepts all
the produce of The country in exchange
for his goods, some of it, too, at prices
far beyond market values, and some of
it unstable, or very slow to turn into
cash. In this way both the jobber's
means and the retailers means and his
estimated profits are all absorbed, and
nothing but an undesirable and unusual
extension of time and perhaps further

out of manufactured goods is all the
time encroacnn; upon and suppressed
ing importations. Certainly this is the
case in those lines and grades of boots,
shoes and clothing which it brides it
self upon creating, and which can be
found to-day in every hamlet and town
of Utah and contiguous Territories.
During the nineteen and half years
OF the institutions existence it has sold
over $50, 100000 worth of goods Its
patrons have been mainly the so-called
"poor" and Oppressed" "Mormons"
of these valleys, and this only repre sents
q portion of the people expenditures,
the whole of which have been wrung by
them through industry from a once
forbidding and unvelued section of the
great national domain. And, as if to
show how Mormon effJrt and increase
has stimulated commerce, superseding
the ox-train and the mule outfit by
the railroad and the locomotive, this
Institution has paid out over 100000
for freight on merchandise alone, to
say nothing of the amounts paid for
like service by other dealers.
IL has been claimed by some that the
Institution is barrier in the way of
enterprise, aud an enemy to the aspirant
TOR employment. When say that the
Institution has paid but fraction short
of So 900 600 from its inception to the
present date to its 400 employees, in
wages, it is a sufficient REPUTATION of
such assertion. Nor can it be trutfully
shown that the average wages of its
employees, grade for grade. has been
inferior to those engaged elsewhere and
in similar pursuits.
To its stockholders the Institution
has also been reasonably profitable, for
a sum total of 81 500, 900 have fallen to
their share as dividends, and its stock
to-day is at premium in the market,
consequent partly upon the stability
and regularity of its dividends, its large
reserve fund, and its careful and con-
sentative management; while all its
real estate and business equipments
are semi-annually subjected to reid
depreciation, so that its cash valuation
may be beyond controversy at the e1-
piration of its charter, which has a
few years yet to run If all our home
projects and institutions could be as
successful as z. c. NJ. l. Utah would be
nearer the status of selfs-upporting in

tits rare that publishers take pleasure

SITS with The HERALD to day. For many
years The WEEKLY HERALD, printed

as its advertising patti onage, were both
up to a standard very gratifying to the
proprietors Within the last three
months, however, the circulation has
taken some rapid shoots downward,
which have convinced THE HERALD
COMPANY that the days of the weekly

decline is due to one thing, and one
