Just been put to Mr.. Gladstone upon the
subject by correspondent who doubtless
represents the majority of good
Churchmen is another Indication
OF the manner IN which Mormon
proselYtizing In the British Isles is being
closely watched. Mr.. Gladstone has replied
that as the Mormon emigrants doubtless
quit England for the Salt Lake regions en-
ttrely of their own free will, he does not see
that the government can interfere with the
traffic. This reply cannot satisfy those who
think that II the traffic cannot be stopped
In the United States, at all events it might
be stopped in Great Britain. Three or four
years ago considerable excitement arose in
England when 1t was discovered that there
existed a systematized traffic by which
young girls were sent from Britain TO Bus-
sells, Paris, Antwerp and other Continental
elites for Infamous purposes. The church
party with which Mr.. Gladstone is identified
insisted that the government should take
steps to interfere with the despicable busi-
ness. Notwithstanding that the majority OF
the deluded women left England OF their
own Tree Will, the government did interfere,
and succeeded through the police IN very
considerably reducing the number OF agents
whose vile trade was TO offer them dazzling
Continental engagements. It will appear to
msny persons that the arguments which
were brought to bear upon the government
with reference to that traffic might with very
little straining be applied to the Mormon
traffic In men and women, which has already
grown to such serious dimensions.
