Tho Salt Lake temple was to be turned into a state house and tho tabernacle into a dance hall. High Taxes. While this cruel warfare was "eoine on, the saints wefo to be burdened with Inch taxes and heavy public improve-' ments. The cities, counties, and state were to be bonded to tho limit, and these bold robbers who were instrumental instru-mental in brincinc about theso conditions, condi-tions, were to receive as their reward fho homes of tho saiuts and high salaried sala-ried positions. The principal cities wero to be colonized colo-nized with thousands of strancers that were to be broucht from far and near. These were to take the places of the poor Mormons, who would be compelled to sell their homes for a soncr. f.Y dyine friend urged me most earnestly earn-estly to not treat lightly what ho had divulged, as the Mormon people, he said, would surely be driven from their possessions, unless they become thor oughly united. Several times he exacted ex-acted a promise from me, that I would make public these facts. Ife was in his right mind, though it wns hard for mo to believe that an intelligent body of United States citizens could le po depraved de-praved as to enter into a conspiracy of ibis nature. Soon after, I related to a number of my acquaintances what my friend had told me, but did not feel justified in publishing these, facts until I had found out from other sources that what he had told me- was true. Some Limo after this conversation took place. I I went before a Gentile notno' public. I and sworo to the above statement, nnd placed tho document in the hands of I an influential friend of mine. Now that the deathbed confession has been verified to an alarming extent: ex-tent: that tho leaders of the ''American" ''Ameri-can" party's plans have been made public. I fpel that T would be neglecting neglect-ing a sacred duty, if I failed to publish to the world the dying statement of an honest man. and true friend of the Latter-day Saints. Food for Thought. Honest members of the "American'' party, just imagine a gang of dishonest politicians and anarchists, a nuinber of whom are from other countries and barely able to speak the English language, lan-guage, some of them having been compelled com-pelled to leavo tho stale or country whence they came, concocting damnable damn-able plots to drive honest, thriftv and , God-fearing citizens . of the United States from their homes which have taken sixt3' ycar3 to build up. A great percentage of the Mormon people are descendants of the pilgrim fathers, and it was they who made it possible for these wicked rascals to dwell in peace in these vallevs of the mountains. My dying friend told me that according accord-ing to liis best judgment, not moro than forty men were responsible for our present troubles, and by their lying, cunning ways, they had deceived thousands thou-sands of honest people, who have unwittingly un-wittingly been drawn into this whirlpool whirl-pool of auti-Moriuonisin. He was convinced con-vinced if these forty thieves could bo convicted of this crime, and sent to the penitentiary, where they belonged, there would bo no more trouble between be-tween tho Mormons and Gontiles of Utah.
