HOME MANUFACTURE IN UTAH.

home manufacture as it was knoWl
in early days in Utah before there was
any considerable communication with
the states in the east or the west is a
thing past and gone forever. There
were hardships then that no well
wisher of Utah would want to see
again.
Every Utah boy and girl who has
grown to middle age remembers the
spinning wheel, the hand cards and the
! loom in the basement. And when the
household duties were done and the
evening had come at last, then the
mother brought out the spinning wheel
and its hum was heard as the long.
soft rolls of wool were spun into yarn.
The spindle being full it was reeled off
and how anXiously the knots were
counted as they were struck off cfter
so many revolutions of the wheel.
All this was preliminary to weaving
the yarn into home made jeans for
the boys and linseys for the girls. The
cloth turned out was not artistic in
pattern nor fine in quality, but it wore
well and there was no suspicion of
shoddy in its make. 1t was honest
cloth, for those honest housewives
would have scorned to have made any
thing else. They let the article speak
for, itself and asked help from no one.
They were content to labor and let
their work answer for itself All the
other home manufactures of the people
were conducted on the same plan.
Each family sought to supply itself
with all it needed.
Jefferson writing to Kosciusko tells
Of his own household manufactures,
and the description of more than eighty
years ago of household manufactures in
Virginia very well describes conditions
in Utah thirty and forty years ago.
He says:
I am much behind many others in
this business, my household manufac-
+. lures are just getting into operation
on the scale of a carding machine cost
ing $50 only, which may be worked by
a girl of twelve years old, a spinning
machine, which may be made for SO
carrying six spindles for WOOL to be
! worked by a girl also, another which
can be worked by a girl also, another
which can be made for $25 carrying
| twelve spindles for cotton, and loom
| with a flying shuttle, weaving its
! twenty yards a day. 1 need 1000 yards
/ of linen, cotton and woollen yearly, to
clothe my family, which this ma.
chinery, costing $3.50 only, and worked
by two women and two girls, will
more than furnish. We con-
| slider a sheep for every person as
sufficient for their woollen clothing.
| How like the oIden times in ITtah
this reads. The home industry of Utah
So urged upon the people was the same
as the household manufacture of Vir
ginia in Jeffersons time, and nothing
j more.

LABOR DAY.

Monday is Labor Day. 1t is a legal
holiday, made so by act of the Utah
legislature 1t is observed on the same
day in several states of the Union and
should receive general recognition
throughout this territory Labor has
struggles enough, it ought to have some
enjoyments. There is no excellence
without labor There would without
1t be no wealth.
Capital is one of the results of labor.
Each reproduces the other, and each is
essential to the other in all great pro-
jects. 1t is thousand pities that they
should be pitted against one another,
seeing that they are mutually depend
ent and ought to be cooperative.
But, apart from these questions. la
Dor needs recreation or rather its rep
resentatives do, and it is a good thing
to have fixed holidays, that the sons
and daughters of physical toll may re-
lax their muscles and sinews and en-
joy themselves in their own fashion.
Many of them would have more fire.
quent opportunities for this and would
be able to provide better for the future
if they were not given to excess on
such occasions as they have and were
more provident generally. Moderation
and temperance ought to be cultivated
to a greater extent by laboring folks,
and thrift would save them from many
sorrows.
However, we hope the laborers of
Utah will have a jolly day on Monday
and thereby fit themselves for further
exertions. That is the true purpose of
a general holiday. We wish our work
ing friends a splendid time, whether IN
town or country. in the canyon or at
the lake, and that labor day, 1894, will
prove a holiday that will linger long in
pleasant memory.

the national treasury more than $780,

There is vein of dishonesty in
nearly every attempt of Republican
speakers and writers to advocate their
cause. II is exhibited prominently in
their endeavor TO make it appear that
home industry means Republicanism.
The fact is that there are at least as
many Democrats engaged in home in
dustries as there are Republicans, and
the promotion, not the obstruction, of
home industries is what Democracy
has in view. When The contrary is
declared or insinuated Republican
trickery and faIsehood are character
istically employed

chant. They are again claiming
every thing and when election Gay rolls
around it will find them as usual with

be thoroughly astounding but not par

for the statement that the ex-president
