Among the MormOns.

The people of Utah-the Mormons-a
correspondent says, rs whole are very
poor in all that constitutes material
wealth. Their condition in this respect
is half pastoral and half agricultural
The wealth resulting from pastoral life is
necessarily small for want of market
The herds which swarm through the
country cannot certainly find consumers
in the territory, and | know to my cha
grin how difficult it is to buy piece of
fresh beef in places where the cattle are
the most abundant. The agricultural
product is obtained with great labor, for
irrigation is laborious process. Ofall
forms of wealth the scarce.t is ready
money. Trade consists mainly in barter,
the currency being grain, cattle and
horses. In most of the villages II $50
bank note, and even $40 note, is not
negotiable whena small debt is contracted.
To make change for it would exhaust the
bankablc resources of the community.
But though the people are very poor,
their requirements are small, and there
is no poverty or suffering; while "respcc-
table poverty" the most terrible of ALL
is unheard Of and would be incompre-
hensible to them. Fashion and appear
ances donot trouble thisprimitive people
and there is as yet no social distinction
between rich and poor, The teamster or
herdcr has too much of the wild indepcn-
doncc of the fronticrsmcn To feel abashed
in the presence of anybody, and makes
himself at home wherever he may be.
The morals of the people, with the cx-
ception of polygamy, are much better
than those of neighboring territories.
Industry is the best safeguard against
stealing, drunkenness and gambling, and
as the whole population has some occu-
patton, these vices have but little foothold
among them.
