Show BINGHAM. "Many Gentiles" Sustain Governor Emery. BiNmtiM, Utah,- February 24, 1878. Editors Uaidd: We noticed au article in that slanderous sland-erous pAper, the Tribune, of the 9.h, headed "Another Pope Gono," piao-- ing Catholicism under the same tulf as Mormonism. Does ths Tribunu villifier think for a moment what be j has done f Tne majority of tbe aup- i porters of his organ are Catholics, and . are men of feeling and culture, aud are poaseaaed of sufficient stamina lo withstand being either led er driven by a faaatloal "snoop" like red hoad, who would annihilate a whoU nation, if ho had ihe power, it Ihty did not see and believe as he would have them. And now be attacks Governor Emery about the revenue bill, at least that part of it iu relation to taxing tax-ing mines. The only miuvs to be . taxed are patented ones, aud those, that produce a uctt income. If we were taxed the same as the people of Nevada and California, where a lax of fifty cents ia levied on each ton of ore oxtracted from a mine, whether patented or not, it would be a heavy .'rsin on the elans of mining men who as a general thing rule in thia camp. The miners here, en masse, ooincide with tbe governor in signing the bill, and are glad that by doing so he has shown himself a man of truth and firmness, and, above all, with a general principle. He is a man who did not shirk from his ooua try'a call in time of great need, and "light out" in some back woods, like a Border Ruffian to avoid the draft, i The people here cannot see wherein where-in his exoullency has taken sides with or bi stowed favors upon either party. Tne whole population of this district will austain Governor Km cry in bis actions. - Many Gentiles. |
