unto themselves the peoples rights; body of men
were to organize themselves into an oathbound So
ciety-not calling that society church-and were
to perpeuate the enormities which the daily do
ings of the chiefs of the Mormon church; humanity
III these states would rise in protest and make that
protest effective through every agency of law, and
if necessary, through the final of selfpreserva-
ton To view this matter fairly, should set aside
all claim of the selfish chiefs that they engaged
in work of pety, and regard their purpose it
is revealed in their activities Thus is established
the only fair ground for consideration, and thus is
removed all that shallow and vain pretense of a
religious question which the chiefs cunnngly inter
pose to misguide the popular mind
There is no religious issue involved in the Mormon
question The sole issue before the people is whether
the chiefs of bound secret political and COM
mercal organization shall be permitted by the power
which they WELD through their society, to stihe
competition in finance and industry and to cajo1e
or coerce in politics. The answer to the proposition
thus presented is afforded by the universal expert
ence of mankind Under institutions, a society
frankly avowing itself as political and commercial
oath-bound organization would be Immediately re-
jected; it could have place in politics; its
members could aspire to no office; its leaders would
receive universal execration; and by force of public
resistance it would soon be overthrow and dissi-
pated. Such being the facts, the shallow pretense
that the Mormon church is a religious society should
be of protecting value to its chiefs or its adj
herents In politics and in business this society and
all who sustain it should be treated exactly as a
great sef-respecting people would treat any other
which might be bound together for
evil purpose by secret oath and which might be
devoted to the destruction of the republic.

1t has been the constant object of the Government
