Show WORK OF THE CHIEF KNOCKER. That tho policy of tho Tribune is hurting Salt Lako and Utah sevorelj thero is no doubt in tho world. A 1 party In Salt Lako, who is tho agent ; for a Now York man who owns prop i erty hero and expects to Increase his Interests in this city received a lettei from his Now York friend a few day 1 ago which shows In part tho effect oi tho dastardly methods of tho Tribune i Truth takes somo credit to itself foi j disabusing tho mind of tho Now York or of tho error Into which ho had beei 5 led by tho organ of tho knockers. Ai J extract from tho letter reads as fol r lows: , "I am glad you send mo those coplei of Truth. I was about to rollnqulsl 1 my idea of investing In tho propert; on H street, near Seventh, that I hai c told you of. I had read several coplc a of tho Salt Lako Trllmno at tho clut 1 and to bo candid, had become nervou o lest my small Investment would bo ur o safo In a city where thero Is so mucl 5 quarreling and bo much of method o .that aro unusual in America. I ha o oven begun to dissuade my daughto ' from going out there to live, notwltl ' standing sho had sot her mind on ii s Although I had been to Salt Lako Cit n myself for a few days, and was grea ly Impressed by Its beauty and healtl fulness, yet I was not sufficiently li formed to havo a basis of analyzln tho Trlbuno's statements, and disclosing disclos-ing tho misrepresentation therein. But Truth gavo mo tho suggestions In Its last two numbers that sot mo thinking from a comparative point of vlow, and I can readily sco now that tho Trlbuno's Trlb-uno's claims about Mormon loaders cannot bo true. Every well known condition, tho development of the state, tho closo commercial Intercourse with other sections, tho Intimate relations rela-tions of travol and communication, all rofuto tho Trlbuno's allegations. You will pardon mo for having doubts about safety In Utah, as I now feel ashamed of having permitted them to nriso against calmer Judgment; but I nm not tho only Now York man who has thoso doubts, coming from tho same cause. I did not think a newspaper news-paper could descend to such yellow journalism and bo tolerated. In Now York wo think wo havo a surfeit, but wo must yield tho palm to tho Salt Lako Trlbuno for excesslvo unreliability unrelia-bility In newspapordom. I do not understand un-derstand how your real estate men stand it, yet somo of them actually ad-vortlso ad-vortlso In tho paper that Is hurting their business. Thoro Now York has tho hotter of you, lor' our realty men would not do that." But I am over my doubts now, and must thank you again for Truth, whoso exposure of tho mnl-ico mnl-ico of tho Trlbuno proprietor, the causo of his spltofulness, and his personal per-sonal characteristics and associations, gavo mo tho clow to comprehend tho situation as I now seo It must bo. So today I closed up tho deal to take tho property for ?3,800, which you assured mo was reasonable, and my daughter and son-in-law will come out and occupy oc-cupy it In about 90 days. I shall give them a letter of Introduction to vou, knowing thoy will appreciate highly your friendship and advice. My daughter daugh-ter Is much elated at tho prospect and tho physician says tho mountain air will entirely restore her health." |
