Show J1R GOODWINS PLATFORM We invite the attention of the young men of Utah to the following statement hat they are in the estimation of the Liberal candidate several degrees worse I than Chinamen in the qualifications of good citizens Mr GOODWIN shows the I superiority of Chinamen over the young men of Mormon parentage in the following words which we ask the young men of this territory to paste in their hats The Chinaman looks upon our government asa as-a parvenu affair But if that China man becomes the father of a child in this country that boy will grow up to be an American Ameri-can But the lesson taught the Mormon child from its mothers knee is that the LORD made this world He owns it and all that therein is that He has a right to rule it and does rule it through His priesthood that there li no other legal government except this and it is the childs duty to obey implicitly the chief priests who are GODS vicegerents on earth That makes the child an alien Tribune March 22 1690 1690Only Only one step more is necessary to mane the horrible demonstration consistent that namely of adding that the mothers of Utah boys are therefore worse than the Mongolian Mon-golian mothers for the former according to Mr GOODWIN lead forth their sons sa Ting T-ing These are my traitors while the latter present their sons as jewels in the crown of glorified loyalty to their country Need we state that the man who reviles young men for what they were taught at their mothers knee who coarsely thrusts into the memory of their tenderest affections affec-tions his gibes that the fountain whence first they drank their lessons of truth and love was wellspring of treason who distorts dis-torts the simple lesson of an overruling providence in all things into a command of rebellion against their countryneed we state that such a man is unworthynot only of their votes but of tho vote of any man that ever knew a mother We think we can hear the answer of young Utah to that question But let the candidate speak Statehood State-hood is wanted by the Mormons said Mr GOODWIN on one occasion in order That we may have the further rule of robbing and cutting the throats of all who dare to oppose op-pose any device or order of tho chiefs Tiibune iweSl 18S7 Itu difficult seriously to ask people to i notice this horrible mendacity as all who I do not feel impatiently indignant at it simply laugh at it But newcomers are deceived de-ceived by it for which sole purpose Mr GOODWIN put it forth We can imagine his inward chuckle while he penned those diabolical dia-bolical lines against his quiet inoffensive neighbors to think how he would cause strangers openmouthed with dismay to wonder why the Mormons were not struck dead for their sins If anyone thinks these words of Mr GOODWIN were uttered in a passion and were not the result of deliberate intention he may read the following It is a wonder to us that this Question in Utah was not years ago appealed to tho sword for adjudication While the worship wor-ship of GOD is free in America no crimes will bo permitted under the name of religion Tribune Trib-une Feb 23 le90 The church rule here is litle better than that kind of heresy for which men were broken on the wheel or burned at the stake Tribune March 27 18S9 A very dispassionate fanatic is this man GOODWIN Ho knows perfectly well how to stop the Mormons from believing in the I second chapter of DANIEL The sword I would do it Great statesman he and evidently evi-dently a Christian also Once he deceived the Gentiles of Utah with this kind of talk THE HERALD tells tho disgrace which it would be for the Mormons to surrender to po litical advenyers It is not and never has been a question surrendering to adventurers It Is simply a question of surrendering to the laws of the Unitd State and if the laws arc wrong to seek through lawful means to have them changed or repealed And a people who will not in a free land like this yield to those conditions are a traitorous people Tribune Sept 16 1683 But observe what successively followed as the Mormons gradually surrendered to the laws Surely the Saints should speedily make up their minds to either adjust their system to tho reasonable demands of civilization or seek some land where they will not subject their people to constant hostility and loss Tribune Jan 19 1859 Either their people will break away from the unAmerican environment or the government of the United States will take away from them every privilege of citizenship which will include not only the ballot but the ability to locate and own lands The justice of this will not be questioned in any country Tribune Jfarchi 1893 1893Finally Finally after the public abandonment of the practice that was not in harmony yith the laws of the nation what has the Liberal candidate to say Hear him Before the Mormon politicians can establish tint Mormonism is not an absolute theocrasy they must deny Usa faith They must blot out the written and published and acted record The files of Mormon newspapers news-papers periodicals must be called in They must then lie out of existence the history and traditions of Utah and blot out the memories memo-ries of all living Mormons Ti ttune October 1600That That is all Mr GOODWIN now demands of the Mormons in order that they may become be-come good citizens Ho explained just three days ago that polygamy tlls the great vice of Mormonism but its theocracy is its greatest crime And in the above extract he benignly explains how the Mormons Mor-mons can get rid of the crime of theocracy For unless they clear themselves of that crime ho says they should be disfranchised disfran-chised and prevented from acquiring title to public lands The only thing for the Mormons to do according to Mr GOODWIN is to die off for he shows that in no other way can thay ever clear themselVes of the crime of theocracy |
