Mr.. Luhin here called attention to the
fact that General Clunie had offered TO
contribute the sum Of 5000 to help
along enterprises of the kind referred to
in this city, which announcement was
loudly applauded.
II. Welnstock moved that a committee
of three be appointed by the Chair on
Permanent Organization.
The motion was carried, and the Chair
named as such committee II. Weinstock,
Dr.. w. \. Briggs and Felix Tracy.
STIRRING SPEECHES.
After the committee had retired tie
Chair called for suggestions from those
present, and l.. C. Fry made some re-
marks on the necessity of merchants pat
ronizing factories already here. Sacra-
mento ought to employ hundreds of
cigarmake kers, instead OF the thirty now
employed here; and it should be q condi-
ton that no new factories he encouraged
that will not refuse to employ Chinese or
children.
NJ. Clark, the cigar-maker. said that if
dealers and consumers would patronize
home industry he would be able TO give
employment to scores of persons.
PROUD OF SACRAMENTO.
Being loudly called for, General T. J.
Clunie said his heart was with Sacra-
mento, and he had an abiding faith in its
future. He had travelled all over the
Union, but never found better business
place than this. There need be no fear OF
the removal OF the Capital in the waythat
had been attempted. No Legislature
could take away the splendid commercial
advantages OF Sacramento. Some things
had been said against the alleged un-
healthfulness OF Sacramento, but he could
say that he had grown up here: his wife
was born and raised here, and neither had
ever had to call in doctor until they left
Sacramento.
General Clunie then referred to the
great liberality that had been shown by
Sacramentans toward the State in giving,
property and money toward the estab-
liShmeut and maintenance of the Capitol
and other State institutions here. He
was glad to see the people of the city
aroused-that they had begun to realize
the Importance of the city as manufact-
uring and commercial center.
II properly conducted the proposed
new factories cannot lail to succeed. II
managed with the same ability that MIR.
Lubin has managed his business. they
cannot fail to succeed. He had told Nir.
( I.ubin that he would subscribe to as
much stock as he would, for he lCluniel
knew that Lubin would be safe man to
follow.
General Clunie then referred to his
| large investments here, and said that
wherever he might be his heart would
| always be in Sacramento. go on he
said, lin this course, and Mr.. Lubin.
| whenever you call on me / will be with
you. We will build fine hotel: we Will
| beautify the city and build up its inter
] GSlS anu lnuS DIOutOLc us DOBUt1IlOn,
| Gentlemen, l am with you on any propo-
! sition."
| General Clunie was frequently inter
rupted by applause.
HOW OTHERS DO IT.
George b. Katzenstein then made some
Iremarks explaining why some of Sacra-
mento's successful merchants and capital
lists had removed from Sacramento. He
said it was generally because they desired
! larger and wider opportunities for in
yestment. He related how he met on ar
Eastern train some months ago d Chi
cago capitalist whose business was &c
travel about the country looking III
| manufacturers who desired good lOca-
| Iions for business. This man reDre.
| sented syndicate whose object was tC
| gather into Chicago ali such enterprises
| These things are better than Legislatures
| State airs and kindred institutions. anC
if Sacramento lad sufficiently encouraged
them she would to-day be far better OF
than she is.
He spoke of the little town of Kearney
| raising 100000 and attracting there ;
great manufacturing enterprise and bull
up a thriving city out on the Larami,
plains. If this were possible there, wha
| cannot Sacramento do with her splendiC
natural advantages
EAsTETN METHODS.
Dr. -. >. SOulnWOTln spoke OF the same
matter, having visited kearney himself
He referred TO other places in the k.as
which had secured large manufacturin,
enterprises by exempting their property
from taxation for limited terms. on,
town in Canada that had adopted thi.
course had grown from a place of sos
inhabitants TO one OF 1900. He did no
know whether this plan of granting ex
emption from taxation would be legal il
this State, but if so, it should be adopted
