TINE TO GET TOGETHER.

something Must BE Done in the In
terests of the Masses.
The people who watch events in the
business world have their hands full
now to correctly forecast the condi-
tons for the fall trade here. The tenn
porary relief gained by the money dis
bursed by the city during the past ten
days and the relief to labor to be
gained from the sewer work will brace
up retail business little. The wise
merchant will not lose his head on this
account, however. If there ever was a
time in the history of this city when
the business men ought to get together
and plan for the city's good that time
| is now The great improvements made
here during the past few years. the inl-
mense advantage to be gained by the
city from its splendid educational facil-
tities and the great showing made by
The financial institutions during the
panic. all give Salt Lake a great ad-
vantage over other western cities. But
with all these in our favor. are the
merchants planning to increase the
trade Of the city? Is the circle being
narrowed or widened? Do the strong
nlen pull together and jealousy guard
the public interests, or do we trust to
luck?
keep the laboring classes employed on
one-third time the balance OF this year.
What will they do next winter? Some
body is responsible, and it ought to be
somebody's business to begin to plan
for the best arrangements that can be
made under the circumstances.
The discussion of political questions
won't give work to men who are eX-
hausted and who have nothing ahead
Any plan to give permanent employ
ment ought to be gladly welcomed and
earnestly considered. Any feasible
proposition to secure new factories
ought to be looked after. carefully and
not be allowed to die from want of at
tention at least. With all natural con-
ditions and advantages in our favor,
when compared with other places. we
certainly ought not to go to sleep so
badly as to let all our good opportun
ties so unimproved.
NEW SILK VENTURE.
Through the efforts of some of the
leading citizens of the city who have
interested themselves in filk culture,
Thomas Katsununaa and S. Katogi eX-
perts from japan, have been induced
TO locate here for the purpose of engag-
ing in silk industry. The gentlemen
have three kinds of sill1worTns on hand,
y
and the other one crop a year. The
worms represent different stages of
growth, and are doing nicely. The aim
this year will be to get the worms
distributed as widely as possible
through the territory, and the promo
ters OF the scheme are confident that
the climate offers unusual advantages
for the cultivation of the worm. as the
mulberry is now found quite extensive
ly in various portions of Utah. Japan
| is considered too damp for the success
full operation of the movement, but our
climate being mild and dry is much
| more favorable to its promotion.
They will have eggs to dispose of in
about four weeks. and are anxious to
/ encourage the project by every means
in their power. Any person wishing to
study this important industry is in
vited to call. and information will be
cheerfully given. The business is now
carried on in north room of the Bee
Hive house In about three weeks some
silk will be on exhibition, which the
public are invited TO examine. The
gentlemen are very courteous, and will
