The cause of home industry received
many converts last evening, for about
a thousand persons attended the meet [
ing held in the Assembly hall. The |
speeches were all ringing with enthusl-
asm and were received with great
deal of applause.
On the stand were William B. Pres
ton, John r. Winder, John Henry Smith,
Heber j. Grant, A. w. Wins, B.F. Grant,
John c. Cutler, John H. White, George
F. Culmer, H. L.. A. Culmer, Thomas
r. Cutler c. E. Mainland and others
of prominence in our manufactures.
John Henry Smith called the meeting
to order He explained that because of
the trouble in Ogden, Governor West
could not be presnt, and nominated 3.
F. Grant to act as chairman.
Mr., Grant was elected unanimously,
and, taking the chair, said that the
manufacturers bureau had been ap-
pointed by the chamber of commerce
in favor of what has been advocated
since the settlement Of the territory
the support of home industries. lie
said the Home Industry fair had been
started in order to show the people the
Things that are manufactured mere ana

At the end of the speech the choir
a. section of the tabernacle organization,
| sang feelingly, Hard times, come again
no more" Everybody felt in sympathy
with this song and it was greatly APP
lpreciated.
c. E. Wantland was chosen. as secre-
| tary of the meeting.
CHAIRMAN GRANT
said he wanted to report that the man
ufacturers' bureau has met with the
greatest success. The labor unions, the
press and the purchasers had been
worked with. The great mass meeting
was held in the theatre and then fol-
lowed the Women'S meeting and the
Industrial fair. The Hard Times" Sc
lection by the choir had been appro-
pirate. There would be no more hard
times if the people would buy nome
made articles wherever they can IN
stead of patronizing eastern manufac-
lturers. If the people could know of
our limitless resources and would come
to the support Of investors, there would
be wealth in plenty in the territory.
To prove the sussess of the efforts
that are being put forth, he said Frank
Jennings had told him at the gate that
the Deseret Wooden mills will again be
started up in the near future, and will
employ from 100 to $50 hands. The
cooperative Iron works here has also
started up and is making stoves, as
good as, or better than, those which we
imported.
Mr.. Grant urged the support of home
industry and introduced
A. w. WINS,
: the representative from the south in
the last legislature He said he had
mot been as heavily interested as he
might be in manufactures in southern
Utah, but would speak on them Three
things are necessary for the prosperity
of a country. They are, fertile soil,
busy workshops and quick and cheap
transporta ton. Southern Utah lacks
the last, but in spite of that there is a
wooden mill down there that has been
second only to the one in Provo. This
has not been very profitable, but it
has been godsend to the people
There have been other manufactures
down there, but they have not been
profitable. To make them so there
must be careful and economical man
! agement, and a desire for little profit
for time So far the industries have
: failed because of the lack of patronage
: and the lack of patronage has beer
caused at times by the inability OF
home manufactures to compete, In
price and quality with importers But
in order to have the industries here
4 the people can well afford to pay {
; little higher for an article not quite
t so good. The returns will justify it
Il But this does not apply to manufac
> tured goods alone. In Salt Lake, no
more than half. probably, of the dairy
S products that are used, come from
:, Utah. Home farmers should get HON,
e trade.
5 The south is willing to unite with thu
:. north. There is a duty of the peopl,
|. to the manufa cturers, but there is ais
: a reciprocal duty. Home goods SHOULD
t, be put on the shelves of the merchants
e so that the people can get them.
It GEORGE F. CULMER
n was next called upon. He said tina
. the people are awakening to tn
L knowledge that they must do some
Y terrible lethargy.
: He called attention to the fact tina
d broom corn can be grown in Utah witt
IS the best success, and our broom manu-
u facturers can handle all that is raised
# The farmers should do something il
{ this matter.
II Flax can be grown with success
Utah. If the farmers would grow
h linen could be made here. Linseed o
II would also be produced, and of a ST
T. perior quality. If this would be pre-

a. works would be started.
