ITS SORRY SUBTERFUGES.

In attempting TO make reply to The
Tribune's charge that the Mormon
church has not kept its pledges in the
matter of the polygamous practice, the
Deseret News on Wednesday evening
quoted from the declaration adopted by
the April conference Of 1907. 1t is par
ticularly dilative upon the following ex
pressions as contained in that docu-
ment:
The church has been true to Its pledge.
The wonder Is not that there have been
sporadic cases OF plural marriage. but
that such cases have been so few.
So far as plural marriage is concerned
the question Is settled.
As to the amount of reliance that may
be placed IN any outgiving of the Nor
mon church, let us point to few facts
in history. At Nauvoo, Illinois, in the
carly 'forties of the last past century,
IT was charged by "outsiders' that
polygamy was being practiced by the
high official Mormons Repeatedly the
heads of the church, Joseph and Hy-
Nauvoo Times and Seasons over their
signatures the most earnest and posi-
tive dcnials Of the charge. They also
induced the women of the relief So
ciety there at that time to issue sim
liar official statement through the same
paper. In his testimony at Washington
in the year 1904, Joseph p, Smith, the
present head of the Mormon church,
and son of Hyrum Smith, declared
under oath that at the time these state
ments were issued Joseph Smith was a
polygamist, and named several of his
plural wives One of the women who
signed the Nauvoo denial, later declared
in Utah, publicly and notoriously, that
at the time she signed that denial she
was q plural wife Of Joseph Smith. The
Nauvoo Times and Seasons was the of.
fetal organ of the church, Just as the
Deseret News is here today. What the
Times and Seasons was utilized for at
Nauvoo. the Deseret News is being used
for in Salt Lake City-to lie about the
situation. It has been shown by the
church itself that It's own public assur"
ances, given at Nauvoo, were simply
lies lHdL WcIc put lOGUu IOr lue Sole DllG"
pose of hiding the truth 1t is fact
that Brigham Young and Heber G. Kim
ball married many women polygamously
whose biographies state that they were
plural wives Of Joseph Smith and Hy-
rum Smith at Nauvoo, although both
these men most earnestly denied that
there was any such doctrine taught or
practiccd in the church. We respectfully
ask the public if in any reason one may
place any reliance in anv official docu-
ment put forth by the Mormon church.
When is it to be officially believed-at
Nauvoo or in Utah9 And which of the
two church organs is TO be most relied
upon-the Nauyoo Times and Seasons
or the Deseret News Of Utah2

dency in 1907 states that in 1890 (the

living. was issued) there were 245I DO.

EXHIBIT OF RESOURCES.

1t is the design of the Manufactur,
ers' Association of this city to make a
permanent exhibit of Utahls resources
in the Vermont Building, which will be
ready for occupancy about April 1st.
This Association is active and energetic
in furthering the proposition for such
an exhibit, and the public generally is
in sympathy with the movement, but
by reason of the lack of concerted eff.
forts all along the line there is not as
much interest in this proposed exhibit as
there ought to be. Many business men
are slow to see the benefit of it, but
they should wake up. Los Angeles is
already making generous offer for
space in this exhibit, and in SO doing
has set a pace that Salt Lako bust.
ness men might we'll live up to. The
intention Of the Association is to con-
fine the exhibit exclusively to Utah pro-
ducts and accordingly it has been
obliged, under this plan, to decline the
cnterprising offer of Los Angeles.
The officials Of the Association believe
that within year the exhibit can be
made self supporting from the rental
at nominal cost, of space for articles
placed on exhibit; but in the meantime
help is needed, and this help will be
asked from public. spirited citizens

success, but keener interest and a
livelier concern in this enterprise is
desired by the Association.

exists for this, but as all parts of the
State will be directly benefited by this
EXHIBIT, it is contended that such pro-
vision should be made
The location of the Vermont Building
is central and spacious, the space avail
able on the ground floor is, roundly
speaking, ten thousand square feet. Nc
better location could be found for such
an exhibit, the place being central, con
venient to all of the ear lines, and with

business district. The enterprise is q
worthy one, and the public spirited citi
zens Of this city should give it tho in

charge to realize in time their plans FOL

THE SILVER DEPRESSION.

Referring to the recent depression
in the price Of silver caused by the pro-
posed action of the British govern"
ment in India raising the import taxes
on silver from five to sixteen per cent.
assurances are now given that the tax
will not check silver Importation into
| India The tax of five per cent was
levied about ten years ago, because,
as explained, the government Of India
thought that such tax would pracl-
cally stop the importation Of silver into
that country. and materially increase
the market value of the silver produced
in India But the idea turned out to
| be n fallacy, and the purchase of for
eign silver by India has been very
large in spite of that five per cent tax
II is expected by those who are now
discussing the question. that the same
will be found true in respect to the
imposition of the sixteen per cent tax,
that the market will adjust itself. and
that India will buy as before. II is
conceded, however, that at present the
silver buying is dead, so far as India
is concerned, and it is expected that
China will insist on profting by the
decline in silver, and will not buy at
any advance
An authority quoted. but not named,
by the Wall Street Summary, claims
that the depression in the price Of sill
ver now in effect in all Of the mar
kets, will be temporary. 1t says, how
ever, that India will not be an importer
Of silver until the supply now in that
country is pretty well taken up. When
that time comes, however, the authority
quoted thinks that foreign silver will
go INTO India about as before, and adds,
that !'if that country again becomes a
buyer. it simply means the India people
will pay the price levied by the new
duty II is manifest, however, that
the operation cannot work both ways;
if India pays the increased import
duty, in addition to the market price,
for silver, the depression in the silver
market will not continue, for that de-
preston represents now pretty large
percentage Of the increased tax, and
an effort will undoubtedly be made to
keep the price of silver down so that
the BUYERS in India will not be obliged
to pay this increased silver tax.
At the time when this tax was first
announced. the stock of silver in Lon
don was said to be very small; now 1T
has reached some ten million ounces;
but for market like that. this amount
is not considered at all excessive, it
being practically not more than enough
to meet the normal trade demands OF
that market Some tendency to rally
is reported, but no increased figures
arc given; and it may be taken as sure
that now. as heretofore, this latest
move will have a permanent effect IN
keeping down the price of silver, as
any move will result that is engineered
by the goldites, and as all their moves
have resulted for many years past,

The first English weekly newspaper

the appearance OF the London Gazette,
the arst number OF which was published
at oxford on November I, 1865. News
paper publication was checked by the
licensing act. which was passed just
about this time, After this act was
sprung up In London and In other cities,
Newspapers existed In other European
and Aslatic countries many years before
England began their publication. The
