Home Products Exposition.
The manufacturers and business men of
Oakland never received a proposition with
the united enthusiasm as they have the
proposal to organize home products ex-
position in the Tabernacle in the latter
part of this month. The papers have all
given hearty Endorsement of the idea and
affairs are moving along with rapidity
toward successful beginning. Mrs. H. o.
Trowbridge, who originated the idea of
discussing the matter before the Ebell
Society, in speaking of the affair said:
In my own home circle we had dis
cussed the need of more manufactures for
hn TrAf.N
pOrtance. One day when the directors of
the Ebell Society were considering topics
for discussion, | suggested the idea of TAX
ing up home products. | told them of my
surprise, when in the East and foreign
countries, to be told that nearly every
article offered for sale was made by the
shOpkeeper or in the town where it was
sold. The idea was readily accepted by
the ladies and they requested me to take
charge of the affair, promising TO aid in
every way they could to make the meeting
successful.
lone of the things which stimulated the
members was the matter of unemployed
labor. For TWO years or more California
has been overrun with men who could not
get work, and we believed that if more
home products were used more labor would
necessarily be required to do the manufac-
turing. The manufacturers report large
number of girls also apply for work, but
for their products is limited. The women
&c England, led by Queen Eliza beth,
aroused such enthusiasm regarding home
MioductS that:England became the greatest
manufacturing nation of the world. We
believe the women OF this fair State must
lead a like movement, and it was the ques-
uon as TO what we could do to stir the
State up that resulted in our meeting
