to think that the immigrants that are
coming now are more ignorant than
formerly; know that be shows his
ignorance when he makes that asser
ton; the people are moro generally
educated now than formerly.
/ Now *" has it.! He Is for hav-
ing our school system amended 20 a
to compel children to attend school.
Does X" not know that such laws
exist in several Of the countries
where these ignorant . curses'' come
from? Mr.. "X" seems to be . Bible
reader, for he speaks Of . wise God,
and without the Bible ho could not
have known Of his existence; and
now let US examine it . little on
immigration. Il commence ct very
early period Of mans existence. Cain
left the land OF his birth. The Lord
commanded the human raOe to be
fruitful, multiply and replcnish the
earth. How was that to be done
without immigration? Again, we
find Noah cmigrating with his family
from Mt. Ararat-oh, yes, that
naughty boy, Ham, was along, and il
r, x, and the Post man had been
there they would have enforced their
discrimination law and poor Ham
would have been doomed TO stay on
that cold, barren peak and starved to
death for al they would have cared.
presume Il, \, and the Posts fore.
fathers have emigrated several times
before they got from Mt..Ararat to
Cedar county. tell you, Mr.. X,
that the Bible is full Of immigration
stories. A poor widow immigrated
from that wicked land OF Moab, and
our blessed Savior, who traces His
descent through her Father Abra-
ham, was one Of those that you de-
spise. No, \, it wont win; your
theory is against al the uaages Of
mankind from the creation down to
the present time, and you have taken
the OK by the horn when you say the
wise Creator never intended that we
should carry to new the ignorance Of
old countries. wonder how he
found out 50 much Of his Makers
will-he must be near enough akin to
Brigham Young to have revelations,
or has been among the spirit rappers.
He calls Him "wisc CREATOR; il
50, He must have fixed purpose and
plan from the beginning, and Is none
can stay His hand from working, OF
thwart His purposes, and as He is the
same yesterday, to-day and forever,
and not even shadow Of turning in
all His ways, and as He has ever
suffered and encouraged inmigration,
how do you three insignificant worms
Of the dust-the work Of His hands
spccia! interpretation with His laws
that have existed from the FIRST. The
command to emigrate was the first in
order that the Great Jehovah issued
from his Throne to man. You three
scribblers! how did ever such pre-
sumption enter your foolish heads
that He would ever grant you law
Of discrimination? tell you, gentle
men, those that would gather roses
must expect to find briars and thorns.
The Post seems to think it best to
feel the public pulse little first for
fear new ideas might not take well.
That is very good plan when man
is treading on doubtful ground; but
il man is right-that Is, I man
he is not afraid to let his views be
known boldly and above board. But
how encouraging to the Post-Ae, X,
says, go on and fear NOT!
He seems to have great faith in the
Justice Of American laws. Now. M.
x, l am as much devoted to the gov
eminent Of the United States as you
are, but that is no reason why !
should be blind to its faults and fail
ings. There have been blacker laws
on our statute books than ever dis
graced the statute books of any other
civilized country; and if We have
many good laws, some of them are
dead letters. How has it been, and
how is It with regard to Utah?
Brigham Young, an appointed Gov
ernor by the United States, known
polygamist living in adultery and
incest, and known to be . murderer,
and to-day the United States govern
ment is paying a bonus or premium
on such crimes by entertaining the
old villain ~ . prisoner of state. If
our laws arc just, why does he not gil
q fclon's cell to-day rather than be
csrousing around Salt Lake City?
That is one specimen Of your Just
laws. Such things are making us a
laughing stock to the moral part Of
mankind. And those vices that i'm
migrants bring with them, l would
like to know what vices they can
bring that do not exist here already.
Now, Mr.. X, I make the assertion
without fear Of being successfully
contradictcd, that mankind are better
educated and are more cleanly in their
habits tl.sn they were in former
