Show ab NOT PLEASED ABOUT IT OUR lifting of the curtain find and giving the utah public a brief glance at a little of the sin misery and shame of one or two christian cities does not please the local advocate of debauchery debauche ryas aa a remedy for mormonism of course not we were not intending to gratify the vile we were writing for the benefit of people here who are not familiar with the dark side of modern civilization glimpses of which can be had through the dally daily itress of eastern cities that they might not be deceived by the hypocritical invitations of persons who pretend thattie that the bocal mocal atmosphere is so pure and the ithe condition of the masses Is so elevated in the haunts of vice which flourish around their homes it is stated by the local defender of licentiousness that we pictured the homes of new york city tenement houses as a fair sample of christian people in the united states of course the assertion coming from such a source is a falsehood we did nothing of the kind we are not so 80 ship shod in the construction of sentences cu 94 or tenement houses people 11 whether christian or otherwise A and nd we made no such fecla statement and drew no such inference as alleged the facts we cited were such as could not be controvert ed therefore a false issue is introduced as a peg on which to hang an atter attempted Apted reply but that does doea not affect the real question the crimes and sufferings distresses and abuses slavery slaver y starvation and d filthiness that atom cry aloud to heaven from every large af christian city on this continent are concomitants of so called christian civilization 11 and if an occasional error or lapse lapop into tuto the themay th eway ways of odthe the world on the part of some Mor mormon moul of

is 18 no help to their side of this ques tion to say that 11 into new york city annually are poured from to people I 1 from the slums of europe I 1 in a the first place it la Is not true and in the

le lew w of the evils existing and prevailing linc lit i the so called christian world were the evidence of ef its own mouthpieces the same statements n ts are arc often made concerning mormon immigration it these thousands aads come here annually are from the slums of europe how is it that the mormon system transforms them into industrious peaceable thrifty and god fearing citizens while the superior and highly extolled christian system struggles with them in vain in new york boston philadelphia chicago and other cities of progress and enlightenment ac cording to our local libeller li beller they are the vicious elements with which state force power wealth religion science the press and all ail the influences of cultivated and advanced christian society cannot cope successfully cess fully does not this go K to show the weakness and inability ot of this vaunted modern civilization to rectify its own wrongs and remove its ow own a evils owe Oar position is that the would be reformers of the mormons cormons Mor mons have ample fields forthe or tee exercise ot ol their en et eigles agles right where they live without fretti retting fretting ug their pious souls about imaginary ima wrongs wrong s among the cormons mormons Mor mons there are more women perishing bodily mentally spiritually and every way in one christian city than the whole population of utah and yet people come from the filth and the slime the bestiality and villainy the destitution and misery the sexual rottenness and prenatal pre natal criminality that reek and steam and smoke to heaven in ILL their own cities and talk to our pure women and innocent children about escaping to those modern imitations ol of of the plain that god destroyed by devouring fire they affect to be horrified because two or more women are married andi and bear children to the same man yet they will pretend to venerate nerAter ve the holy women of the bible who wilo occupied a similar position andi and were highly favored of the lord and close their eyes to the terrible wickedness of churchgoing church going ladies who by thousands upon thousands in taint stained christendom murder their own offspring before they are born they take no notice of the thousands of illegitimate births that are known in every year to say any nothing of those that there are good evidences of occurring the boston herald berald a
