A MORMON LESSON. AN INDUSTRIAL SYSTEM THAT WA3 FOUNDED BY A GENIUS. Brlsjtuua Tonus; Chose For the Corner ton of State the Bound Principle of Industrialism What Ha Did With the Problem of Irrigation. On July 14, 1847, President Toting nd hia fellow pioneers passed through the picturesque on t lot of Emigration Mnyon into the valley of the Great Salt lake. Utah was then Mexican soil, and the leader believed he oonld f onnd what ever character of institution should suit him and his people. In the bitter anti Mormon crusades of the post it has been alleged that " Brighnm Young had chains on men's souls. " There is no doubt that religions superstition, rendered effective by the marvelons machinery of the ehnroh, was partly the source of the leader's irresistible power with his own people, but back of the religious super stition and the church organization stood the brain of a great and masterful man. He knew that bis power, to be enduring, must rest upon something material and tangible, and this some thing he discerned to be the prosperity of the people themselves. ftrlgham Yonng was nn organizer of prosperity. This was the real source of his strength. He did not aim at mere temporary prosperity. On the contrary, ho fought everything that tended to that end, going to the length of actually for bidding tlie opening of the rich mines in tho mountains near at hand, because lie abhorred the spirit of speculation. Ho choso for tho cornerstone of his stnto tho principle of industrialism, and that prin ciple lies there yet, at the base of a no ble edifice of economlo fact, reared by human toil and held firmly in plnco by the average prosperity of all who had part in its building. If tho great an hi toot and the superintendents and fore man who surrounded him enjoyed a laigor share of tho profits than tho work men, it is also true that the humblest hewer of stone and carrier of mortar was paid in proportion to the importuueo of his labors. And what fair mind can ob ject to an industrial systom that yields these results? Bo far as can be learned, Brighain Young had no previous knowledge of ir rigation when he entered Salt Lake val ley. He quickly realized that he had come to an arid oountTy, which wonld be hopeless for agriculture unless arti ficially watered. With marvelous percep tion, ho saw that irrigation was not a drawback, but an advantage of the most important sort He realized that it meant freedom alike from the dangers of the drought and of the flood. He discov ered that, having a rich soil and ample sunshine, and adding moisture by the construction of ditohes, it was actually an improvement upon nature to be ablo to turn the "rain" either on or off with eqnnsl facility. And therefore he rightly concluded that he had found in these conditions the basis of the most certain worldly prosperity and the most soion tiflo agriculture. It remained for a later genius to re mark: "Irrigation is not a substitute for rain. Bain is a substitute for irrigation, and a mighty poor one. " But if the Mormon leader did not say so he evi dently felt it. He perceived, further more, that irrigation was much more than an insurance policy upon the crops. It brought all the processes of agricul ture within tho realm of known facts, and that is science. It even rendered possible the control of the size of vegetables, and this be came important many years afterward, when the Mormon people added a great sugar factory to their industrial system, for it is important to grow sugar beets of about a standard size to get the best results. Moisture is required to give the beet a vigorous growth at tho beginning, bnt when it is well started weeks of un interrupted smwhino aro ditinilile In order to develop the succhnrino qualities. Much sunshino at the wiig time drios up tlmcrop, while mnch AoiKturo at the Wrong time produces a licet pleasing to look npon, but unprofitable at tho fac tory. Brighnm Yonng also realized, nlinost at tho first, that the necessity of careful irrigation largely Increased tho labor upon an acre of hind, bnt ho found that this labor was generously rewarded by the increased yield both in quantity and quality. And from this fact ho drew tho most important prlnciplo of his commonwealth, which was tho division of land into small holdings. Closely re lated to this is the other twin factor in Mormon prosperity the diversification of farm products to the last degree, Natural conditions, even whoro there is the most abundant and well distribut ed rainfall, are often favorable to the production of only a few cros. Bnt the Mormons realized that tho skillful ap plication of water Just whoro and wt ?n needed, and in just tho right qu-- ,y, and by tho very best method, n't . it red possible tho widest variety of fruits, vegetables and cereals suited to the tem perate zone. Tims Brighum Yonng taught the people that no man should own more land than ho could cultivate to its highest point by his own and his family's labor, and that no man shonld go to a storo for any article of fixid or clothing that could ho profitably pro duced on his own small farm.

There were wholo streets in Tyro en tirely occupied by glass works, and it Is stated that tho first glass honces wore erected in Tyro. The gloss houses of Alexandria were highly celebrated for the ingenuity and skill of their work men nnd the extent of their manufac tures.
