Morning appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1877-1906, 1895-05-10

In Utah every laborer may become q
since all are cooperative; in Pullman
the laborer is the compulsory patron
Of store, bank and factory and is made
to pay dividends, rather than entitled
to receive them. Tn Utah the lahorer
practically receives all that he pro
auces. as do the farmers Of Carson
Valley: at Pullman the lahorer only
receives SO much as sufIices FOR bare
subsistence, while the balance OF what
he produces is credited to increased
capital and dividends.
Hence, when the panic Of 1893 came
the Pullman laborer had nothing to
fail back upon He had worked as
hard as his Utah br Their, but had
| failed to receive what he had pro
| duced He did not own the soil he
! worked, nor the roof over his head
There is nothing for him except to be
| a begGar and ontcast. But in Utah
no Mormon laborer felt perceptibly
the pressure of hard times. He stood
there, the master of his acres and
looked the world in the face No
landlord knocscd at his door to de-
mand the rent. As long the earth
yields her increase he can coin from
his acres a prosperous living.
And this is the difference, not simp.
~ between the systems created by
Pullman and Brigham Young, re-
sPectiveiy. but the difference between
the Industrial economy which prevails
today in the East and that which is
destined TO prevail throughout the
West
You are familiar with the history
Of the successful colonies made on
irrigated land at Greedy, Colorado,
and in Southern California. The
Greedy colonists made serious mis-
calculations. They estimated the
cost Of their canals at $4,000. and
they actually cost $4,000. They ex.
pected fruit culture to be their lead
ing industry. but events proved that
the locality was unsuitable even
for apples, And yet these cclonists
have prospered amazingly In the
panic summer of 1898, when banks
and stores fell like autumn leaves,
nature proceeded uadisturbed at
Greedy. The sun rose, the wind blew,
water ran down hill, and the famous
Greedy potato crop proceeded as if
nothing had happened. Besides Il
comfortable living yielded by the di
versitied farms, the Greedy colonists
received over one million dollars that
summer for their surplus potatoes. l
need not enlarge upon the success of /
several famous colonies in California.
TIE NEW PLYMOUTH COLONY.
On February 18th, last, I began IN |
Boston the work of enlisting people |
for the New Plymouth Colony in Pay |

for a purpose. l desired |
to demonstrate what character Of in
dustrial and social institutions could /
be developed on irrigated lands by
people of small means The plan
had been carefully formulated in
association with experienced men both
West and East. We selected 5000
acres of land and adopted the 90 acre
farm unit All the colonists will fol-

ally producing what the families con-
sumo. thus realizing industrial in
dependence. All subscribed ten dol
ars per acre for stock, thus providing
a capital of $4,000 for improvements.
With this capital they will establish
six small allied industries, such as
creamery cannery. starch factory,
pork packing establishment, cold
storage and fruit evaporators. Idaho
