bringing his or her mite of honey. 1t re-
manned for all to help along the move
ment now in progress. Although not a
Property-owner, he was willing, during
the next six months, to pay $40 toward
the object in view. There are thousands
property-owners, but who could give
enough to raise fund of $4,000 to help
along the industrial movement.
THE ONLY WAY.
r. T. Devlin was next called upon. He
thought that from the explanations made
by the daily press and the address read
from the platform every body was famil-
lar with the object of the movement. The
purpose was to double the population
and wealth of the city. 1t is recognized
all over the State that Sacramento pos
sesses unrivaled facilities for business.
But we must make it desirable for per-
sons to come here and establish factories.
There is no Eastern city that has become
manufacturing center but has found it
necessary to do just what Sacramento
now proposes to do-give bonuses and
make IL an object to manufacturers to
come here.
Mr.. Devlin referred to what the people
OF Kearney, Neh., had done in this line
She gave bonuses amounting to $3.50, 900,
and is now great manufacturing center.
Ii would be folly to expect factory to be

less some inducement were given. There
may be some persons here who care more
for their own private gains than the gem
eral advancement of the city, but If so,
they should be treated as enemies of the
city. The work that the Industrial Asso-
citation had laid out to accomplish should
have the encouragement of everyone.
Its success means the increased pros
perity OF every citizen.
PROMISE OF SUCCESS.
Hon. Russell-D. Stephens being called
upon, that gentleman SAID that he did not
know as he could add anything to what
had been said. There is no fault, he said,
with Sacramento. If the present scheme
be carried out it will enhance the value of
all the property in Sacramento. The
spirit already manifested indicates that
the necessary money will be raised. The
more factories that can be brought here
the greater will be the city's prosperity.
He referred to the advancement made by
Stockton, where manufactures had been
encouraged. We want population, and
the more we get the better we will be off.
But we must give them something to
do, so that they can make something
more than living. Let all take hold and
see what can be done for our city. He
had great faith in this movement. and in
the honesty and integrity of every man
connected with it. He believed they
were working for the interests of the
whole city.
REMARKS OF BISHOP MANoGUE.
Chairman Lubin referred to what Right
Rev. Bishop Manogue had done to help
along the movement, and called upon
him to make few remarks.
The Bishop said he did not come to
speak, but to show his sympathy with
the cause. He was for the prosperity of
Sacramento, and the prosperity of the
city meant that of all those in it and their
children and their children's children. If
people are called on to make small sacri-
fees it might bring them a hun0redfold.
The history of the human family shows
we must give something to get more-we
exchange a small for a larger amount.
The great proposition before US is the
prosperity of our State and city. The
end and object of this movement is to es-
tablish factories here that will employ
many men and women. The increase of
families means demand for houses, and
the increase OF houses means an addition
to the taxable wealth of the city. The in
crease of population also means a de-
crease in taxation. The small sum we
are asked to give is but a trihe, but may
result IN great increase in the popula-
ton and wealth of the city.
The venerable Bishop then spoke of
the great natural advantages possessed
by Sacramento as manufacturing CEN
ter, and described the busy scenes that
result from the establishment of many
factories in community. He dwelt at
some length of Sacramento's advantages
as the center of the commerce of the
great Sacramento Valley and the mount
ain counties. In conclusion he said that
not only the future but the present gen.
Grafton would rise up and bless the pro-
jectors of this movement.
Chairman Lubin announced that offers
had already been received from manu-
tacturers who desire to come here and
who would employ at least 800 persons.
APPEAL TO YOUNG MEN.
r. II. Hawley come forward in re-
Spouse to an invitation. He said there
are thousands of young men in the city
who have no property, but have good
salaries, and should do their share to-
ward helping along movement that
means so much Tor the prosperity of ALL
REV. J. B. KoEHNE
Said he came from Pittsburg, manufac-
turing city, which is located at the Juno
ton OF two rivers, like Sacramento. All
successful cities must have shipping ia
cilities, and Sacramento seems to have
them. Men who are now prospecting
here should not object to give some of the
harvest reaped from the crops sown by
the pioneers and gold-diggers. The war
cry should be, Down with the spirit of
the primitive Indian, and up with the
spirit of the Anglo-Saxon!"
There is a tide in the affairs of men
which. taken at its flood, leads on to
| fortune" and that time has come for
Sacramento. If men would show the
same zeal in city affairs that they do in
their own private business. the city
would not fail to prosper.

mittee of i've be appointed to draft a

WHOLESALE GROCER.
While the committee were in consulta-
ton d. a. Lindley favored the meeting
with some remarks. He said his firm
had given the best evidence of its faith in
the movement by signing one of the
associations notes. In doing so his firm
believed it could, with confidence, risk
its money in the hands OF such men as
compose the Industrial Association. He
! thought that all others in the city could
afford to do the same thing
Remarks were also made by E. G..
Hooke favoring the movement.
