THE FREE THINKERS.

They Lay Their Platform Down Pretty
Clearly at Salamanca, n. Y.-Their Ideas
of the Mormon Situation-The Bible Cor
sidered Rot to Be of Much Account ANY
way.
SALAMANCA, n. z, Dec. ga resolution
adopted by the Free Thinkers convention de-
clares their aim is to place by free discussion
before the people on an imnovable basis, as ma
tional, the sacred and inaiienable right of all
men to exercise entire freedom OF thought and
Il eedom Of speech on all subjects of human
interest without dictation either from state or
church. We would defend by arms, if
necessary, the rights of all reli-
gionists, from the people down
to the Salvation army to believe and worship
as they please, and this right, which is in the
spirit and letter of the national constitution
which we SO cheerfully accord to them, we
claim for ourselves, and viii exercise to the
fullest extent in our war upon superstitious
church and her claims to prescribe to all men
what they shall believe and do. Concluding
the resolution is as follows: s'We aim by crit
cism and argument to weaken the confidence in
the Bible as purely inspired revelation from
fallible rule of faith and
practice, believing the book itself sets forth no
such claims. Our position on this subject is all
the more important, because the practice of
polygamy in Utah is anomalous to the fact of
American civilization, and we confess our ap-
prehension of the book which glorifes polyga-
mists and holds them up as model saints is the
greatest hindrance in the way of settling the
question which Is raised by it, without resortisg
to civil war. The Mormon, planting himself
behind the ramparts of the Bible and the exam
pleof our foreign missionaries, who, with
the appreciation of the churches
at home, have admitted polygamists
into tbs mission churches, conquers in debate
any relgionist who attacks him. This natural
ly increases the zeal of the Mormons and makes
them grow in numbers, and this complication
OF circumstances threatens to precipitste anoth
er civil war, which, if undertaken by the gov
eminent viii never cease till every Mormon is
exterminated, and this gives additional proof
that the multiform body which calls itself the
church of God has been the cause of shedding
more human. blood than any other organization
OF men upon earth. While the Mormon polyga-
my is a Bible institution. We repudiate and con-
denim it as violation of the law of natural NOR
atty, and wash our hands of the guilt of perse-
cutting them by fire and sword.

GAS AND ELECTRIC LIGHT.

How the City is Supplied With these VaIu-
able MediuMs-Ovsr Two Miles of Gas
Mains Laid Last Year-What an Enter
prising Company is Doing.
The city of st. Paul, in comparison with
many other cities, is we'll lighted one.
The means of public illumination being
gas and electric light. The gas company
has distributed throughout the city some
800 public lamps, and have them distribu-
ted to the very best advantage, being
placed on the intersections of the different
streets. But that which throws the splen-
dor of its Illuminating power
into each street and alley, and
renders locomotion safe at all hours
of the night, is the magnifcentligh from
the lofty electric mast on Bridge square.
It consists of six burner, and is remark
able for the stesdiness with which it gives
forth its rays. The Pickering usually OBJ
served in electric lights is wanting here.
In all, the company has $50 electric lamps
which they supply, and arc now patting
in q new engine of 125 horse power, SO as
to enable them to meet the greatly in
creasing demand. They have some fifteen
miles of wire, and are running $40 and
5-25 lights dynamos.
During the past year the gas company
has laid something over two miles of new
mains, and have expended $4,000 at the
works il a new rstort house and other i'm
provements. They have put in thirty six
new retorts. During the summer they
have had constantly employed fifty men
in the different departments. The daily
consumption is from 275,000 to 100000
feet, an increase over last year OF
40 per cent. The works are to be
enlarged in the spring from ten inoh to
1s-inch, and during the year there will be
laid upwards of five miles of new mains.
This will enable them, in measure, to
overtake little of the past years won
drous growth in the city, as it is really a
difficult matter to keep pace with the new
streets laid out, the coHmodious blocks
built thereon and the elegant private resi-
dences being erected in every direction,
But the gas company is putting forth
every effort TO meet the wants of
the citizens, but it will be
some time before they will oe able to come
abreast the strides of advancement. The
lighting of the city, as seen at hight, gives
one some idea of its extent, and as the
lights are seen, tier upon tier, to the high
est point of st. Anthony's hill, the Sum
nit and Dayton's bluff, stranger is re-
minded of some of tbs tales of fairy land.
The electric lamps, with their pale weird
lights, throw q halo over the city, whilst
the palatisl wholesale and other establish
ments, brilliantly lighted from cellar to
dome, give small inkling Of the business
of this furnishing citI.

Manufactures,

Large as has been the increase in the
wholesale business, that of manufactures
has exceeded it. In 1870 we find but eigh-
ty Height manufacturing concerns, while
now there are no less than 755. In nearly
all branches the increase in production
has reached so per cent. and in many ii
has more than doubled. It Ia impossible
st this time to enter specifically into the
amounts of products turned ouS in each
particular line, but careful inquiry war
rants the statement that over 1900
people are employed in the various
industrial pursuits, and that there
have been goods to the smous of $33, 900,
coo produced and disposed of. In 1882 the
production was $22,39O,O 600, thus showing
an increase Of S10,S1O,00O.
The growth in 1883 promises TO be very
much greater, as many newly projected
enterprises are to be established, notably
an iron producing company with ca pital
of $10,0G0,0cO. smelling works of great
capacity, extensions to terra Gotta and
drain pipe works, brlok yards and furni-
ture factories 1.-THE st. Paul Foundry GEM
pAay, with a capital Of s1,Oe0,eOO, has in.
creased its capacity 100 per cent, and
will soon BE fully at work
These industries will add several
thousand skilled mechanics with thsir fam
lilies to the population.
As the distributing point for so vast ani
growing territory the advantage OF st
Paul as location for manufacturing on
| terprises cannot be over estimated ant
thousands of men, who are barely making
a living in the oVsrfowing eastern section
of the country, are sure TO find here ampl,
and remunerative employment for thei
capital and energies. They should com
and investigate.

In the following report of tho wholesale
business OF the city great care has been
taken to get correct and conservative fig
ures. In several, indeed in many, lines of
business the decline in prices have been
quite considerable hence the increase in
the volume of trade should be estimated in
bulk instead of in money For instance
we show an advance of but $500 900 in
the grocery business, while, if values had
held up TO those of 1882, the increase
would have been not less than $2,5OO,0OO.
The same proportion holds good in other
lines, while as general rule decline of
from 10 to Is per cent. will
be found about correct. Still the
increase of nearly $12,OO0sO00 in
actual salss shows a most gratifying re-
suit, although at the prices of last year the
increase would have been at least S23 ,O0O,-
600. The wholesale merchants arc in the
best possible shape, and, while they desire
moro equitable laws for debtor and
creditor in the newly developing territories
and an efficient national bankrupt law, as
do all merchants throughout the Iland, no
deslers IN the country are lin better and
more prosperous circumstances. The rs-
tail business of st. Paul has increased
fully two-thirds in the past
twelve months, as is found
from careful caavas OF houses
dealing direct with the people Of St. Paul.
Over five hundred new firms have establish
ed, and still many excellent openings re-
main. Manufacturing concerns have In
creased nearly twenty per csns. and all are
doing thoroughly satisfactory business.
