systematic all the various departments
of industry and organize each branch In
such wav as to carry it on most erect
ually and economically.
To carry on one branch OF industry
would require large amount of capital,
but to carry on all together, under one
agency or a complete system of eo-ordi-
nate agencies, would require no money,
only such as would be provided for by
the cash deposited in the city treasury,
because the wages of each would be paid
by the products of all through the trans
fer and cancellation or clearance of
credits.
Inaugurate this system, and every en-
plOyee will gladly accept agency credits
for his services regardless OF the position
he may occupy, and every one having
property to sell will accept them, because
they will buy any and everything the
holder may desire
Ii capitalists were really anxious to
have Industries started and give constant
employment to labor and make the city
permanently prosperous, they could de-
post their money in the city treasury and
take credits for it. They could use the

( The agency could and would guarantee
constant employment TO every person
all the modern improvements that could
in any way contribute to their domestic
comfort and social welfare.
This would bring permanent prosperity,

crimes and woes incidental thereto and
make of Salt Lake valley veritable para
disc.
This city would soon be the most beau
tiful and healthful and this valley the
most densely populated and the most
/ prosperous of any in the United States.
Industrial centers, cities would radi-
ate from it in every direction and Utah
would soon contain more inhabitants,
more prosperity, more happy homes and
less poverty than any other state or terri
tory in the Union. The Iaboring
classes want homes and the comforts
and conveniences of civilized life, not
money. True they want money under
our present scheme OF Industrial and
commercial anarchy, because they can
not get these things without it; but or
