BRIGHAM YOUNG's LOYALTY.
The loyalty which Brigham Young
proclaimed in those early days, no
maintained unto the end. In 1872,
when his liberty and his he were mem
aced by those who We're using the forms
OF law 20 compass their designs, there
were some among his own people who
advised resistance, and some who adj
vsod alght, but he promptly rebuked
all such counsel lie held HIS American
citizenship as among he most valued
OF his possessions once when IL was
learned that an indictment for non.
bailable crime had been round against
him by a picked and packed grand
Jury, and that he would soon be ar
rested and probably incarcerated at
Camp Douglas. q prominent member Of
his Church said TO him 10 my pres,
ence. President Young, remember the
fate Of Joseph Smith. DO not place your
self In the power of merciless enemies.

grand old man arose, and outstretChed
his arm with that gesture OF mingled
patience and power which the artist has
presented in his statue. and exclaimed.

The industrial strength Of Utah has
ever been In the system Of cooperative
labor which owes It's origin. or az least

efforts Of Brigham Young. Cooperation

COOPERATIVE LABOR.
The cooperative labor Of Utah Is or
ganized upon a basis that dispenses
with the wasteful remedy Of strikes as
a measure OF redress or relief Strikes
are wastefu because while the products
OF labor may be preserved IN granary
and warehouse. labor itself is perish
able. The work that might have been
done but was not done on Monday. Is
as yalueless on Tuesday morning as the
unappropriated dynamic forces that
