Utah happens To be cursed with q
crowd OF fellows who make IL a bnsi-
ness to continually stir up strife In the
community. They are represented by
an apology for newspaper. the most
slanderous, obscene, unscrupuion-.
venomons and blackguardly pubhca-
tion that ever disgrsced any commuui-
ty in civilized country. THIS literary
fungus whips into line every non Nor
mon who ,iisagrees with its course,
who has not moral stability sufficient
to stand mp against its yenal and slam
derous sttscks, and, exercising 4 KIND
Of terrorism over the others, who are
desirous OF avoiding its scnrrilous ON
slaughts. forcing them to silence their
better judgment.
Who are the individuals who conduct
this decayed literary carcass. and who
are the blue flies that buzz around 10,
attracted by the noxious efiiuvium II
emits? We are not aware that the peo-
pie who, under the blessing Of God,
made this western oountry what il Is
to-day, a pleasant dwelling place, ever
invited them TO come and be troubled
at the presence OF the Mormons. II
that invitation hal been waited for
they never would have poisoned the
moral. peaceful atmosphere with their
presence.
To whom are these peace disturbers
indebted for their subsistencc? Why,
TO the Normous. II is the latter who
raise and produce the food they eat,
aud without whose presence the coun-
try would be a comparatively barren
waste. II those strife stirrers were "a
subsist on their own productions they
would have q continuous unbroker
diet Of venom, slander aud falsehood
They published themselves to the
world as the most infamous, unquali.
| fied liars or the most consummate o)w
ards that ever walked, for even il ther,
was the slightest foundation for thu
sensational statements about pros
pective Mormon war, which We utteri,
deny, who are not arrant towards
4 would never be found whining ant
howling like pack OF sick hounds.
Only get rid Of the Mormons ant
their priesthood, is their watch-cry ant
We would soon make 1ne, honrishin;
Territory OF Utah, aud change th'
character Of her cities aud settlements
Yes, indeed, there would be o change
q woeful change. Heaven forbid tina
this fair western land should be blur
red and blasted by such change
There are plenty OF specimens OF IN
kind OF cities and settlements that sue
characters make along the line Of tb
trans continental railroad, such a
Cheyenne, for instance, so vividi
painted In words recently by Eli PEI
kins. Whatever there is Of the gamt
ling hell, house OF prostitution, an
other such institutions In this city 1
due to the fostering care OF snch char
! acters as are raising the present how
and who make IL their main business B
keep mp friction in the communit,
and misrepresent the people abroad.
Such characters are non-producefs
the strongest sense OF the term, not on
ly consuming the productions OF th
people they nalign and abuse, but win
, iiguratively eat at the vitals Of on
community that may be so unfortunat
as TO have their presence.
So far as the "Mormons" are col
, cerned, their works show what the
. are; the hundreds of fourishing citle
. settlements. gardens aud farms sho
, what they are. The peace. comic
? and happiness which they enjoy sho
, what they are. Let their record
, peaceful, productive, industrious cit
) zeps be compared with that OF the
: traduccrs, and the latter will sink IN
: comparative obliteration.
/ The fact that those fellows nre pc
: mitted 20 walk the street at all hour
I in the midst Of those whom they ha
: traduced, maIigned, lied about Al
3 abused is as strong an evidence
A should be required to stamp their
q ing sensational statements with d
4 brand OF falsehood.
