protest; but we are prepared to prove
that 9915 per cent of those approached
willingly signed the protest and de

I'VE KNOW" we brand the statement a!

the rest, and proceed to
Falsehood No. And many Of thos'
who did sign. did so lest they should
lose their situations" A more das-
tardly contemplate falsehood wa:
never uttered than this, and We hur
this back in the teeth of the craven
who wrote it.
We defy them here and now to pro-
duce one solitary individual whose sit
uation was in the remotest degree jeo-
pardized by his refusal to sign that
protest, and if they do not produce
him they viii stand (once more) before
the public as being what we have al
ready proved them to be, viz: self-con-
victed towards, buffers and falsifiers'

Here are four palpable, barefaced
falsehoods, contained in about as many
lines, and Immediately preceding the
monstrous, egotistical assertion, tine
Tribune does not publish falsehoods.
oh Tribunei remember-"facilis est
descensus averni.'
Now. another of the Tribune's kim
dergarten ideas that we propose to ex-
plode is, that we represent the Herald
branch" of young Utah. We confess
having considerable respect for The
Herald, but have no connection with
it beyond contributions to its columns
to get our protest and our arguments
before the lovers of fair play in the
community. The Herald's interest in
us is about on a par with our fear OF
the Tribune, and the latter can be eX-
pressed by cypher. Except for the
courtesy shown by The Herald in pub
fishing our letters, we are utterly IN
dependent of them and are likewise
free from all restraint from any and
every source. We have asked nobody s
consent, and so far as these letters are
concerned, we acknowledge nobody S
authority to dictate, and no matter
who are pleased or displeaSed we pro-
pose to continue the exposure of the
Tribune and its methods until the re-
suits we first had in view are attained.
We are firmly convinced that edito-
rally, the Tribune is a veritabie hum
bug and if the management doubts
these are our exact sentiments, and
that we are not the real and only
authors of these letters, they can have
personal interview by arranging lor
it, and will receive a verbal confirma-
ton of every charge. This everlasting
whine of the Tribune, that they merely
want us ito be true Americans" IS
disgusting when coming from such a
source, for we do not consider that
one who is so flagrantly interruptions
and hypocritical is competent TO give
good advice. =.
our conception of true American"
does not include natural procllVltF
for perverting the truth, or a mind that
delights in slandering those who dlfter
from it Our loyalty to this govern
ment. our love for America and our
appreciation Of the liberty we enjoy is
so genuine. so high and so deep that
it could never flourish or even take
root in the narrow partisan mind OF
bigoted autocrat; and for this reason
we refuse to ACCEPT the Tribune as a
model or to adopt their conception of
American citizenship, on the ground
that we would involve a diminution OF
our patriotism, as being an insult to
our reason, a lowering of our dignity.
a slur on our manhood, a whitening or
our hopes, stain on our character and
a mockery to our sense of consistency.
Now. in order that the Tribune can
devote their attention to answering our
last letter and endeavor to refute our
we have prepared the fol-
loving letter, which they can hand to
their compositors for publication in the
Tribune Monday morning, and this VIII

Suggested renly for the Tribune to
Young Utah, Monday, April 8:
THE insignificant outfit who are pre-
pairing long screeds for The Herald, and
who sign themselves Young Utah. are
again on exhibition. We are informed
uDon excellent authority that these
intend to boycott the TAib-
une, and are trying to hold US I'D to
public ridicule for this purpose. We
can tell these cringlng slaves and the
cowardly liar who hired them they will
not succeed.
we know for a fact that one of these
serfs OF Heber J. Grant once ESCAPED
from iaii in South Africa by ass&ssi-
mating the warden; and another of the
drunken trio spends every alternate
month in the bug house We again
serve full notice on the blatherskite

Mormon people generally that our pa

these blithering idiots and horse thieves
are muzzled, we shall order special
session Of congress, who will at once
restore the state to its former condi-
ton of territorial vassalage.
This pledge-breaking must cease!
I'VE know of a man closely related
to another who is now deceased, but
who, when alive. was once seen in COM
pany with a high official of the Nor
mon church, and we know from the
sworn statement of this mans second
cousin that he was married when he
lived in Sanpete, and he was married
when he lived in Salt Lake two wears
later. We ask if this is not a clear case
Of polygamy? We call the attention of
young Utah to this as an instance of
the laws being violated. and ask them
IL it is not time for them to step in and
stop this whipping into line? We care
not how the News may try to twist and
distort this proof, it will not change
the absolute facts.
He was a married man in Sanpete
and was a married man in this city two
years afterwards. Could such a thing
be possible in a monogamic state? The
persistent disregard of American prin-
ciples cannot long continue, and we
warn the dominant church that only re-
Gently man was seen standing on the
White House steps, looking through a
telescope towards Utah.
