Salt Lake evening Democrat. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1885-1887, 1885-04-24
A GREAT DISCOVERY.

For some time past there has been
suspicion in the minds of many that the
DEMOCRAT was nothing more than new
organ of the Mormon Church, and we
have not cared to enter into any contro-
versy about the matter for fear we might
be worsted, for truth is mighty and will
prevail. We are compelled to avow our
true position this evening and admit that
the suspicion above spoken OF Is
well founded, and is absolutely
true. That which compels us to this
frank avowal is the fact that last night
the Chronicle (this is not to be confounded
with the chronicles of the Bible) tore the
mask from off our face in genuine be-
loved Cassius fashion. We had hoped
that the truth in this matter would never
be discovered, but the Johnsonian patriot
who presides over the councils OF the
nation and in whose watchfulness lies
the safety of the Union, has discovered
the honest truth, and has told it to the
world, and with the world his word
is law. We are reliably informed that a
patent has been applied for for this great
discovery, and that when granted, which
it will be, it is to be put up in bottles and
sold as a companion to Kings Golden
Medical Discovery, and the price will be
one dollar bottle. A different form and
color of bottle will be used from that
adopted by Lydia E., and the label will
bear the inscription "Yours for Truth, J"
instead of "Yours for Health"
There is a grand expose in this dis
coverv of the pretentions of Rawlins and
Young in a Sunday school reunion
which was held in the Salt Lake Theatre
last January, and for this the public
should be thankful. But not to be behind
in all things pertaining to that meeting
and the DEMOCRAT, we wish to say that
Rawlins and Young received five hun
dred dollars each for their remarks at that
reunion. This was paid in part cash,
part tithing orders and one years sub
scription to the DiScOUerer.
The public will be amazed to know
that everyissu of this paper, before going
to press, is revised and corrected by Mr.
Taylor or Mr.. Cannon, but such is the
fact. The strange thing about the whole
affair is that it has not been discovered
before Can it be that the gentleman
who now makes the discovery has been
in the same pay as we ourselves have
been?
/ 1t is a we'll known fact free peoples
are never grateful to those who have
. made them free, and that ingratitude is
the vice of republics. Only on this
ground can it be explained how it is that
the "Seven watchers upon Tower" have
never been made President of the United
States of America.
Faraday was quite a discoverer
and Tyndal wrote book upor
him as such, but Tyndal could fine
much worthier man to write upon than
Faraday if he would come to Salt Lake
City. But after all, Tyndal is not the
man to write up this great discoverer, fol
our Salt Lake man is a discoverer O
moral truths and things which exist only
in imagination, while Faraday was q
chemical and natural history discoverer
1t will be a great biography when this
mans life is written. We understand
that a sketch of him will finish up the
series of biographies known as the 'Hun
dred Greatest Men," The reason as
signed for placing his name at the last, il
that the Book says the first shall be last
