followers not TO sell land TO them nor
to aid them in any way. All his life.
time he has taught to his followers a
hatred of the Government and the peo.
pie of the United States. He has no
regard for ma9nanimity. He does not
know the meaning Of the term. He has
never recognized the sentiment. He has
taught to all who would listen to him
that every man who demanded obedi-
enco to the law on polygamy was at
tempting to persecute the saints of God.
His gratitude for the magnanimity Of
the Government and the people Of this
country is shown by the fact that after
President Harrison had granted full
pardon to Smith and others like him
for all their past offenses, this man
Smith accepted the favor aud then ruth
lessly broke the condition upon which it
was granted. Worse even than his in
suit to the generous people of the
United States, when he spoke Of tacit
understanding by which he might CON
tinue in his lawless course, is his bypo-
critical, canting, insincere declaration
that he appreciates their magnanimity.
Joseph +. Smith is an ungrstefuI fall
siher and hypocrite.

A MARRIAGE TAX.

While some nations are encoura g1ne
marriage by imposing certain added
taxations upon bachelors, this couu-
try takes the lead in requiring fees
from men who wouIl enter into mat
rimony, There is the marriage license
which every bridegroom must secure
and for which some one must pay; and
IL addition there IS the fee to the
officiating minister or official, and this
is usually eXscted with some assitnu-
ity. For instance, as illustrative of
the latter point, a son of tho chief
hierarch of the Mormon church is the
official who performs most of the
marriage ceremonies in the County
Clerk S Office in Salt Lake; and for this
his monthly income is said to be ap.
proximately three hundred dollars per
month--thls in addition to his regu.
lar salary as deputy clerk
But while the method is general
throughout the United States, and Ii
cense fees and ceremonial fees are usu.
ally paid, 1t appears that Judge
Ritchle 8 court is entitled to the pre-
MUM as the one wholesale marriage
assessment and tax collection cstab-
llshment Of the country. Joseph T.
Smith paid a tax of three hundred
dollars op Friday last for the privi-
lege of having FIVE wives. As this is
the first assessment ever levied upon
him for his multifarious coniugsl pos
sessions, and AS he has been in the en-
Joyment Of all of them for TWENTY-FIVE
years, according ia his own statement,
1t is easy TO see the advantage to the
taxpayer of having Wholesale prices.
a Gentle named Plant up at Farm
ington, bought his bgamy at retail
and il cost him a term in the peni-
tentiary. and he only got one extra
wife. No wonder the Mormon people
call Joseph +. Smith a great fnanoier.
He has had six wives aItogether-so
he says. Msybe he is concealing some
property from taxation, however; but
this is his sworn statement. Presum-
ably he did not take out license or
pay marriage fee in any one Of the
cases, and the entire cash cost has been
the assessment which Judge Ritcbie
fixed at three hundred dollars.
Smith can easily see now tho cost
per capita OF polygamous conjunction,
OF his acknowledged wives, five are
plural wives; and five plural wives as
sessed at three hundred dollars by
Judge Richie would make sixty dollars

MUSSERISM.

Tho Smootltes at tins belated hour

T. Smith is designated by them as

Within the covers of the production
Elder Musser permits himself to run
riot on The subjects Of polygamy and
sex and children. To such an extent
does he carry his revelations and his
lucubrations that his book is an offense
against all decency The law would
condemn it as improper literature Any
one sending 1t through the United
States mails would be liable 10 fine
and imprisonment under the statutes
governing these matters. OF all the
vile language and suggestion ever ad-
duced in behalf of the practice Of
polygsmy, or the practice Of anything
else, this emanatiou from the vicious
copartner of Smootism contains the
worst. To place it on sale to Sunday
school children is a quadruple offeuse.

man who could knowingly offer it as

necessary TO point to one paragraph.

THEY ARE JOINING.

One of the brightest women in Utah a
Gentle, talking to some American party
people recently, urged upon them strict
| adherence to that party principle which
| commends no war upon the Mormon
| religion or upon the Mormon people. 1t
was her experience that hundreds of
Mormons had joined the American par
ty IN the battle for their own enfran-
| chlsemenL and thousands more were in
Ginning toward the heroism and the
truth. The sermons delivered at the
recent conference in which the chief
hierarch and somo of his leading sub.
| ordnates had made impassioned appeals
to the young Mormons to stand by the
prophets, gave Iumistakable indication
that the hierarchy were in fear and
trembling and that young Mormons
were breaking loose from the political
tyrannies which had been imposed upon
them.
The lesson should be constantly tier
ated IN American party circles. The
hope of early redemption for Utah is
with the young men aud women of
Mormon ntecedents-who arc seeking
TO escape from the thralldom of super
stition, who object to tho unlawful
practices of the chief, and who have
no sympathy with the political tyran-
mes and the commercialization which
the leaders perpetrate in the pretense
that they are serving God by enlarging
their own selfish rule IN human affairs
These young men and women desire to
become American citizens in all that
the glorious words can signify. They
recognize that their political rights are
an inheritance from the founders of
the Republic. They are conscious that
they do not owe to the church q poll
tlcal fcalty, but that this belongs to
the country. They are fully aware that
the man who teaches crime in the name
of religion is not entitled to their ador.
alton. And they arc glad. in increasing
numbers, to give their alliance to the
csnse which, while battling for their
rights, does so without unnecessary
cruelty to tho older generations of their
people.
Amerlcanlsm is that cause. Mormous
may stand upon its platform as freely
and as conscientiously as Gentiles. 1t
does not make war upon creed. nor does
1T hold autagonism to tho Mormon peo-
pie. Its labor is for the uplifting of
the mass, and its battle is only against
the selfish class who rule in the mis-.
used name of party, who dominate in
the misused name of religion, who ty-
rannize IN the misuscd name of God.
The Mormon who joins with the
cause is simply making an honest struq.
gle for his own rights. He can stand
before men and before the eternal
throne without shame in this labor; for
all that he is asking of the chiefs of
his church is that they shall keep their
own word.
II is not the Mormon youth who joins
the American party who is tearing down
and degrading the work Of his father;
that infamy, that apostacy, that tYea-
son, belongs 10 the men who violate
the laws of God and man, according to
their own confession--to the men who
call themselves holy while rioting in
sin, and who would drag the whole
Mormon people into the pit which they
have willfully digged for themselves.

for each Que. Smith now understands
what it will cost him for each one
that he may take hereafter. Five
more would only be three hundred dol
lars additionsl-and even this assess
ment might be reduced; because, do
ing wholesale business, he could get
better rates for FIVE than Plant, the
polvgamist, could get for one. And
if Smith, wholesale polygamist, null
tiplies his business by two he ought TO
have q still further reduction; say ten
for five hundred dollars, reducing the
assessment per capita from sixty dol
lars to fifty dollars.
There is charge that the assess
ment rolls have been mutilated and
forged TO procure reduced taxation for
some of Joseph T. Smiths mercantile
institutions. The public will undoubt
edly like Judge Ritchie's way better.
He assesses in open court where all may
see the valuation and where there is
no discount by means Of forgery-of
the amount Of taxes. OF course, as
suggested, Smith may have been con-
ceslne some of his marital property;
but there appears no remedy at the
present moment if he has committed
this additional offense against the pub.

A tcnder-minded friend suggests that
inasmuch as Joseph T. Smith uses po-
lygamy for religious purposes only, it
should not be taxed as high as polyga-
my which is used for mere polygamy.
He says that Plant, the Gentle, went
into polygamy and lived with two po-
lygamous wives because he wanted to-
that is, he wanted two; and therefore.
he should be assessed at the highest
valuation. But President Smith goes
into polygamv and lives with his polyg
amous wives. not to crafty any desire
of his own but upon the same principle
that certain edihces are devoted to
public worship; aud therefore his po
lygamy should be largely or entirely
exempt from taxation. This fair minded
and generous friend insists that the
difference between the two cases is
large enough 10 demand this Glistinc
tion. He agrees that where Gentle
goes into Gentle polygamy there is no
religion connected with the affair. 1t
IS just oldfashioned, bad, breaking,
evil, iniquitoIs, promiscuous associa
ton of one man with moro than one
woman in the marital relation. But
when Joseph F. Smith goes into his
polygamy it is holy, sanctifed, moral;
and the more Of it there is the more
sancti6ed ii is.
