BRIGHAM YOUNG.
A Discriminating Estimate Of the
Founder of a Great Industrial
system.

SYSTEM.
In studying Brigham Young I have
not sought to know the man as he
lives in Mormon literatures, but with
a glowing religious halo about his emf
nentlv businesslike brow. ! have
sought rather to find him through
conversations with some of his favor
tie captains. and through the letters
he wrote them when they were engag-
ed in perilous missions to wild dis
tricts in the uneXplored West. These
were the men who lived near to him
and knew the thoughts that throbbed
in his active brain None of these
men has told me of any striking reli-
gious thought which he uttered from
the pulpit. but all have said that he
insisted that it always paid to plough
deep and plant alfalfa They have re-
lated with especial pride their talks
with "the president" at the evening
camD-fres. when he would plan with
wonderful accuracy irrigation canals
and village sites to be made in cOnnec-
ton with the conquest Of some new
valley they had explored. The plans
which he traced on the ground with
his cane by the freight generally an
ticipated very closely the later results
of surveys. His letters to these cap
tains were full of instructions about
provisions. coming emigrant parties
and the treatment of the Indians.
They always closed with devout refer
ence to divine Providence, but the I'M
deriving spirit was that of the sturdy
industrial chieftain aiming at the con-
quest Of the waste places.
This mans dream was Of empire.
In every fibre of his body, in every beat
of his brain and heart. he was mate
rialist. All his buildings, like his
PHILOSOPHERS, were fashioned on strong
and simple lines. They were made,
not to look beautiful. but to serve use
full purposes and to last long. That he
used the power of the church relent-
Iessly to accomplish his ends cannot
be denied. But the church. however
much it may have meant TO others,
was with him only one of the means,
and not the great object of his ambi-
ton. His first act in Utah was to
raise the American flag and proclaim
himself governor of the State Of De-
sert"-land of the working bee.-Wm.
