This is not sentimentality. The west
must determine to Utilize her own re-
sources. She must have a little pa
thence, good deal of economy, and
more industry and she will be able to
pay her money to her own citizens. She
will become self respecting and self
supporting.
Organization is the watchword of
the Nineteenth Century" Let us or
ganize- Let us work out our own sal
walton.
l do not know how and perhaps you
do not know exactly how best to go
abut accomplishing it, but in union
there is strength and cooperation is
the fore runner of success.
The government has taken away
half Of our capital. Since our capital
has been gradually decreased. the de-
preston, has come and this is the crisis.
We have reached the bottom of the in
cllned plane, and now comes the march
upward. Let the women Of Utah help
to accelerate the pace.
The more money in circulation in
community, the greater the per capita
share. The greater the per capita
share, the happier the individual That
when poverty comes in at the door,
love flies out of the window is not a
fallacy by any means. The nation that
employed, does not have time to brood
over the anarchistic doctrine. or to
manufacture bombs or internal ma
chimes.
How can we women help to bring
about the new era of prosperity? How
can we help Utah to become an ex-
porting and not an importing state?
Help our people to become lenders in
stead of borrowers A community
without debt instead of the burden
bearing debtor class that we now are,
weighted down by enormous interest
drawing mortgages, held in the east.
The Manufacturers bureau is solv-
courage home industries. Will you help
them? MANY mickles make a muc-

The home manufacturer buys his raw
material in the home market, if it is
possible to do so. He employs home
labor to work the material. If he can
sell his manufactured article to a home
trade the circle is complete, the money
has passed through many hands, has
benefited many households. If he sells
to a foreign market, we are the gain
ers. If the manufacturer buys his raw
material in a foreign market. and en-
ploys home labor to work it up, and his
sales are made entirely in the home
market, even then there is an advant-
raw material the manufacture and the
labor are eliminated from the case,
what is the result? A merchant here
sells articles manufactured in a foreign
market. Personally he derives a little
profit may be s or 10 per cent But
how does the community profit? In no
way The merchant in that case is
simply a medium for sending out of the
community the money which ought to
be kept at home. Should he be encour-
aged? Should he be patronized? No
In buying the eastern manufactured
goods you are not only robbing Utah,
but you are building up the fortunes
Of the eastern capitalists You are
helping to make rich the very men who
helped send to Congress the represent
tatives and senators who killed silver.
En- masse the women of Utah rose and
denounced the silver legislation. Now
let them rise en- masse and refuse to
use eastern manufactured goods, IL
western manufactured goods can be OBJ
tanned, or if 2 substitute for the east
ern manufactured goods can be found.
KEEP OUR WESTERN MONEY AT
HOME.
Home makers and housekeepers of
Utah: You are strong enough TO
change the balance Of trade if you will
do it. Several millions of dollars we
for goods that could easily be manu-
featured here How many men could
be employed out of this fund? How
many homes made comfortable with
this money? Women of Utah. the well
fare of Utah lies in your hands.
Help the home manufacturer. he
will soon find out your needs, and will
supply them. Bear with him patiently
/ if the goods are not quite up to your
standard Give him a little encourage
ment and good deal of patronage and
he will put in improved machinery and
soon you will have the best manufac-
tured article in the world.
Be charitable. If You have never
used the home goods try them. If you
do not find them on the counter, ask
for them The demand regulates the
supply The Utah woolens are beauti-
full There are none better manufac-
tured Use Utah made washboards
and brooms. they are already on the
market. Ask for Utah butter and
cheese, and for Utah canned fruits and
vegetables Ask for Utah rendered
lard A great home packing house
should be established from which
Utah smoked hams and other meats
could be obtained. Try to stop the i'm
portation Of all farm products includ-
ling poultry There are plenty of good
farms here and more good ones will be
cultivated if we make a home market
for the produce raised thereon. Wash
with Utah soaps. Wear Utah under
clothes. shoes and stockings and sleep
under Utah blankets. If your husbands
Tor brothers will insist upon smoking
and drinking and you can't cure them,
urge them TO use home manufactured
articles. for in the sale OF these goods
there is much money that ought to be
kept at home Loyalty to Utah goods
by Utah women will show a marked
influence in the commercial transac-
tons of the territory. Realize your
power and your opportunity; exercise
them Loyalty, and nationally and persis-
tently. Il is by this means that we
can best help the territory. Keep Utah
money in Utah. Build UP western in
ldustries and thus Indirectly help your
self. your family and your neighbor.
Help to do away with the necessity
for the public soup kitchen and for a
relief committee. Utah's welfare
should be our first concern. To build
up our territory should be our first
work. She who best promotes its well
fare best does her duty
Another step forward would be in
Encouraging and helping forward by
more material aid industries in which
women might be employed. The
splendid work accomplished by the
efforts of Utah women in behalf of the
silk industry shows conclusively what
lorganized effort will accomplish. The
work that Colorado women have &C.
complished is a good example of what
may be done. About $2OOO,0O0 annually
are expended in foreign markets fol
such commodities as stove polish, shoe
backing, baskets, feather busters
brushes. neckties, suspenders, gloves
mems shirts, collars and cuffs, hosiery
knit goods, underwear, children's hats
and caps, handkerchiefs, toys. purses
land bags, women's suits and cloaks
