-Mormonism is likely to have an uncomf1rt-
able time Of it if Mr. Ashley's bill passes

problem Of bIormonism will thus be solved,
and its high priest brought down to an ordi-
nary taxpayer.

South, it says, .;as deep-rooted prejudice
against greenbacl and National Bank noics,
which now shows itself in some sections in q
demand for goll in payment for cotton. Iu
the event OF gold contracts being leeallzcd,
the cotton Stats would be free to establish
