THE LION LAUGHS.


statements made for Nevada appear
in the Salt Lake Tribune of the 27tl
as follows:
"The old, snarling News approves
of most of the TRADE of the Argo-
naut against the men of Nevada. /
rambles around over a column OF
more to give prominence to every
SANDER published in the Argonau
against the people of Nevada, and tC
every word of praise of the same
paper for the nastiness of Mormon
ism.
"The men of Nevada are not wor-
rying over any such assaults. They
look out over their desert hills and
realize that the landscape of their
State is not attractive; they go up to
their cabins in the hills and realize
that they are not such residences as
the gentlemen in New York select
for either their Winter or Summer
mansions. Yet they know that the
fairest structures in San Francisco
were built out of Nevada bullion;
the same is true of New York City;
the same is true of almost every
other city between the seas. They
know that because of their work the
lubricating fluid was given to CONS
merce which produced new chariots
on the land and new ships on the
seas. They know that their work
counts for more than ten times the
work of the men who till the fields
here in Utah or in the Mississippi
valley. They know that because
they have lived commerce has &C
quired new energy and trade has
found new channels They know,
too, that because of their work the
thought of the nation has been en-
larged; the minds of business men
have been broadened; works are I'M
dertaken which would not have been
undertaken except for their work.
They know that they have been
blessing to their fellow men, how
ever little they hav- obtained of the
worlds weQth, and they shrink from
no hardship except the pity of the
parvenues who, sitting in their finely
furnished offices in the East and in
the West, have drawn to themselves
the profits of the work of the Ne
yada men, and when such gentlemen
as run the Argonaut or the Desert |
News affect lofty scorn for them,
they feel exactly as would the hon

Millions of dollars have gone into
