The Salt Lake tribune. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1890-current, 1910-04-22
A LETTER OF ORIGINS.

The Tribune has inspected q copy oI
letter written by Mr. 6. B. Frost
under Boston date OF September 10
1912, that is filled with matter that
would be highly interesting to the Nor
mon people. There is so much of il
however, that we will here deal with
but one item.
1t appears that Mr., Frost had lived
In Kirkland, Ohio at the time the saints
were gathered there. He saw great
deal Of Joseph and Hyrum Smith and
Sidney Rigdon and other prominent
men in The Mormon church. He makes
special mention of William Smith. a
brother of Joseph and Hyrum. and one
of the twelve apostles Of him he saws
that he was IN the habit of going about
the streets in reeling drunken condi.
tion, his mouth filled with fearful oaths
and cursings, mixed with preaching and
eXhortation, Mr.. Frost SAYS that in
July, 1887, William was away in Chi
cago on n visit in the interest Of the
church. One day he suddenly arrived at
Kirkland, drunk as pirate, with both
eyes BACKED and his nose and faco
generally in n dreadfully maulcd condi-
tion. He walked up TO a man named
John johnson and mumblingly de-
clared to him that he had been "miIk
ing the Gentiles'' quite to his satisfy
ing that time; and both Frost and
johnson concluded at once that he had
been circulating counterfeit money in
accusation having been
freely made that much of the spurious
currency and coin had been turned ont
by some of the brethren at Kirkland.
At another time. says Mr.. Frost-in
fact, in the following October-"BillD
took on particularly vicious "souse, -
and in that condition hunted up Jo-
seph. "Bill' was in need Of money and
he was going to get it. being in no
mood to brook denial. When he finallv
found Joseph on the street with some
friends he went up to him and loudly
demanded cash, OF he would Htell
where the damned Book of Mormon
came FROM And he got his money
forthwith.
Aside from the evident discraceful
character of this "apostle of the Lordv
that is exposed by Mr.. Frost (and cor
roborated by many other historians)
there is the other matter that should
set the saints to thinking. If Joseph
had refused to pay to William the black,
mail which he demanded, what would
nave been the result as affecting that
stupid Book of Mormon story. with the
angel Moroni and the golden plates!

HOW 1T WORKS.

In the operations of the new tariff
law, pronounced by its Defenders to be
:the best tariff law ever enacted,
our trade with European countries is
swiftly turning mp side down. For
many years under the Dinglcy tariff
law we had yearly balance Of trade
ranging from 1000 900 10 $600,000,.
600. This served to pay our very heavy
expenses in the way of interest and
try by foreigners, together with the
frcights that VIC pay TO foreign ships,
the money that the American tourists
spend III their pleasure jaunts TO Europe,
and the money sent over by foreign
laborcrs in this country to their Euro
pean homes. These items figure up fully
half billion dollars every year, per
haps more. Unless we sell goods to
llquidate this account, we must sell Sc
curities TO our foreign creditors, or set
tie in gold.
Under the old tariff law we had a
good safe monthly balance Of trade in
our favor, That is, we exported goods
on the average 10 the amount Of $40.
100000 to $50,000O00 per month more
than we imported. Under the new tar.
ifr law, however, we have been constant.

DEATH OF MARK TWAIN.

A bright light has gone out with tho
death of Mark Twain. His writing:
made good nature for tho whole world
and helped toward good feeling in al

later he became n humanitarian, and
some of the greatest writing on serious
subjects that has been done in his time
was done by him. He was A keen do.
tector OF frauds and an unsparing OK.

Mark Twain was Mr.. Clemens S
nom dc plume, and he never could
have shaken il off, even if he had so de-
sired He began his writings in the
papers in Virginia City; then he went to
the San Francisco papers, and finally
on the publication of his books,
he had the world as his readers. His
first great work of rcnown WAS his ac-
count Of tho famous pilgrimage 10 the
Holy Land. where Bcechcr and other
notables were of the party; he reported
the journey in his "1nnoccnts
Abroad TO the hilarity of all man
kind. He was well able to maintain the
fame thereby created, and in later years
has been a great power in American
literature.
Deep grief it is that SO bright light
should 90 out and the world be so
greatly the loser by it, The mourning
for him will be sincere among all poo.
