Show "PITV THE SORROWS ! This morning, under the head of "Who are Workingmcn," the chief anti-"Mormon" organ slugs a doleful dole-ful song. It has enough buncomb aud bathos in ittomakua rhinoceros) weep. It is long draw n out, being littlu in much. Boiled down, it simply means that it can hardly te disputed dis-puted that ths toiling masses are workiugmen, but tliat as workers they bear no comparison to the rich capitalist, for the reason that the former labor with their hands aud get tired, eat their suppers, go to bed and slee-p, awakeing iu tlie morning refreshed r.nd strung. There 13 no such happy lot, hew ever, for the man of business and wealth. He works with his brain, and when he lies down ujmti his soft and dow uy couch thu active mind keers ou thinking and sleep refuses to come with iu restorative assistance. As a consequence-, according to tlie assumption as-sumption of our ieculiar e-otemor-arv. tin- nun t?lm w liv.r..l i.- the possee-slonof capitil and iartie-l-(ation in buslnirs schemes-, heroines) wan, his "eye becomes brighter," and the '-lines of the mouth become-more become-more tightly drawn." He is really the worklogtnau. Ttie"LiberaI"organaftcrdrawIng this gloomy picture of the woes of the rich, insists that the latter are entitled to Ihe sympathy of tho men who perform the manual labor ol tho w orld. It can be rea-inably Inferred In-ferred from the article in question tliat the writer of it is pickled in the impression that laboring men do not think, lut, like the animals, merely work, eat and sleep, relating relat-ing the process every twenty-four houis without shadow of turning. There is uo brightness in their eyes, buta dull llshy expression, while the mucciesarouud their mouths are iu a perpetual state of relaxation, having noueof the cares of life to deepen tlie facial lines. This is all wroug. Thought aud sorrow are both well known to tlie performers of manual labor, while the burdens of tlie capitalist cap-italist are lightened by the possession posses-sion of wealth, which, as the world wags, gives prestige aud wer. If the writer in the chief anti-"Mormon"' anti-"Mormon"' organ had a wasted human hu-man spectre iu ills mind as an example ex-ample of the wan and worn sorrow -laden ca, Itallst, it may probably have been "Hank" Barne3, the candid. te fur sheriff on tho "Liberal" "Liber-al" ticket. Tliaisparu aud pitiable victim of nouns insomnia dees not weigh more than about 195 iunds, while his gleaming eye and tightly drawn mouth testify to his being one of the "Lllieral" laboring capitalists who are tlie real working work-ing men. Or niayit not have been the emaciated form aud melancholy countenance of the manager of Uie chief autI-"Mormon" organ that loomed beforu the gaze of the person who jenned thu plea for theover-burthened theover-burthened capitalist, as his Faber rushed over the paper In thu hope of attracting the sympathy of the masses far the downtrodden men of wealth?
