The Mormons,

From tho Boston Investigator.
These religious fanatics, in maintaining
polygamy, are carrying ont the Old Testament
doctrine on that subject; and this is not only
our opinion, but that of Henry Ward Beecher,
who, being theologian, is we'll posted in the
Bible. In his Thanksgiving sermon, Mr.
Beecher said OF the Mormans:
"There stands the phenomenon Of the
Nineteenth century. What is its power?
Wherein does 1t consist? What is it doing?
II is a spiritual espotism-absolute. 1t is
founded on ianaticism and ignorance-abso-
Lutte. 1t is founded on literal acceptance of
the Old Testament. don't see how q man
who believes in verbal inspiration can throw
stones at the Mormons. Are they polysa-
mists! So is the Old Testament saint. Whs,
sort OF a fellow was Solomon In all his
glory he was not arrayed like one Of these.
Mormonsm, in its religious philosophy, is
simply the attempt to reinroduce into mod
ern economy the institutions and beliefs Of
the Mosaic period Of the Old Testament
They have no gorgeous ceremonial. There
are very few things that appeal to their i'm
aginatisn. And yet it is one Of the most CO.
hesive bodies Of men that exist"

In VIEWING the events Of the past, the
Memphis Avalanche says that sin IS4S the
Democrats were defeated on a square tariff
issue. 1t was protective tariff against the
revenue tariff Of 1876, and the Wings won. In
all the Presidential campaigns from that year
until 1850 the tariff cut no figure. The chief
issues beginning with the canvass oil 1854
were questions connected with slavery, war
and reconsuuctiop. The Democrats fought
on reform platform in 1876, and the tariff
was scarcely mentioned except in the platform.
But IN 1880 the tariff issue became prominent,
and the an,i'proteciion declaration OF the
Democratic party caused its defeat Perhaps
