Last year it cost $30,000 (thirty thousand) cash to carry on our business; half of this was paid to employees, in imported merchandise, one-sixth of their wages, the other for imported material, such as iron, horse shoes, nails, furniture, boot and shoe trimmings, paints, dye-stuffs, warps, etc., necessary in our business. Labor is received from employees for capital stock, and dividends paid in home products, averaging about twelve per cent per annum, since starting our home industries. Trusting this brief review will satisfy your inquiries, I close with the most sincere and heartfelt wish that you may prosper and succeed in establishing principles of union and brotherhood in the hearts of your people. Respectfully, Lorenzo Snow.

All was flourishing.--Attaining to independence.--Factory burned.--Sent a chill to Lorenzo's heart.--Instead of discouragement it was proof of the strength of their compact.--Everywhere manifest, even in the Children.--Union could not be broken.--Impregnability of their Order.--_Deseret News_ speaks.--Commendatory.--Sympathy.--Calamity is proof of the strength of the Co-operative system.--Determination to rebuild. While everything in connection with the United Order was in a flourishing condition, and the people, through their extensive departments of home industries, were fast attaining to a comparative state of independence, in the providence of God a serious calamity befel them. Their woolen factory, one of their most productive and important departments, with all it contained, was destroyed by fire, which will elsewhere be fully explained.
