As the. land slowly rosj the pbove the first shoreless ocean, ' mountaid putlmes of the present Her6 and tber fanges were formed. the pent-u- p forces of the earths inter-joseamed and fissured the yielding and filled those openings with ) prusti the precious metals; and while greaj, masses of granite, porphry and other voleatiic ropks were pushed up through huge fractures, mountains of iron were also formed. .As the land emerged' great forests of carboniferous vegeta tion grew along the eastern border o Utah. That important link in the chain of Divine Purpose having been forgedj the 1 ind containing the wealth; of carboniferous fuel sank 'into the ocean, and beds of limestone, .shale andj other rocks were formed over the sunk-- ) en forests. The interior heat and su-- j pcrincumbent weight of overlying rocks metamorphosed the vegetation into stone coal and thus the otherwise useless wealth of precious metals was ren dered available for the use of man. Ages dragged along and the earths contracting crust forced the mountain ranges upward thousands of feet abov6 the ocean that had once engulfed them. Between the lofty Vasatch and the western mountain ranges lay an uneven gorge in, places a thousand feet deeper than it is today" and three or four hundred miles in length. Had nature1 then ceased her labors no human being could have dwelt here, but Purpose was not yet accomplished From causes not yet fully explained by scienc, the heit air of perpetual summer was changed to the icy breath of a long winter, and sheets of snow and ice were deposited to a depth of hundreds ter-rooUnta- r It of feetl is believed thousands of years . passed away and returning warmth caused great masses of ice to move down the mountain sides. With irrisistable farce those ice rivers crushed and tore deep gorges in the mountains and carried the crushed debris out into' the gorge, ilivers the glaciers and carried the finer maUriai further g out into the valley. A great lake was formed which rose high up on the mountainsides. During a great lapse of time the waves" beat ceaslessly against their rocky barrier until a deep car along the mountain sides was left to toil the story of the r.ncieLt shore lme. A sudden climatic change oc-- i un'od and the lake dropped swiftly downward several hundred feet and again became stationery.

Notwithstanding those unfavorable reports, the valley, by comparison with the country over which they had passed, appeared to the pilgrims to be a veritable paradise. Along the foothills and benches that skirted the mountain walls the gray sage bush intermingled with the waving bunch grass marked the zone of the higher Below were green meadows lands. and lines of cottonwoods marking the courses of a half score mountain streams that poured their precious fluid with seeming prodigality into the little r.iver that wound in graceful Curves through the valley and on to the great salt sea that, like burnished t silver, occupied the northwestern portion of the basin. To those whom the bigotry of a poi verted inter-mounta- in Christianity had forced from civilizathe valley was a place tion, of refuge. The oppressive silence suggested rest and peace. As the little caravan moyed on to the cottonwood groves on what was afterwards called City creek, and the tired pilgrims looked back on the splintered and fissured wall that nature had reared to such majestic heights, they thought only of Little did the pioneers protection. dream that iu the years to come those same mountains would send forth streams of gold, of silver, copper and lead. Not a thought as to the industrial and commercial value of those mountain ramparts entered the minds of the pioneers. There was no thought of the exquisite beauty of the dells and scenes of surpassing grandeur through which they had toiled and hewn a path for those that might also find an asylum in that mountain home. The thought that came to them was of the difficulties that would beset the path so-calle- d, By intermarriage the Scandinavians, the sons and daughters of Brittan, thoso from Germany, France and Italy are being fust d into the highest possible type of humanity. Some of the dnost" gifted sculptors, painters and musicians; some of the sweetest singers and greatest inventors are numbered among the native sons and daughteis of Utah. Wherever the youth of Utah go they are recognized as possessing superior ability. In the eastern law and medical colleges, Utah students graduate with highest honors, and as time goes on those conditions will become more marked. Thus it has come that Utah possesses a population abundantly qualified to make of Utah all that the Gal of nature designed her to be.

The memory of pasc bitterness and contentions will be useful as danger signals fop the future. In the restored confidence between the preseqt inhabitants there has been produced a corresponding feeling of confidence and friendship in the Nation and which the admission of Utah will firmly cement. In the fame Qf our climate unsurpassed on all the earth ozone; iq the magforits health-givinnificence of our mountain scenery; in the long fist of active and latent resources, and the innumerable advantages and au$iliries that go to form a pleasant and prqsperous environment for Man, we find there is not a gift or blessing that has been witfield. The rapidity with which prosperity and greatness shall be achjeved rests the people. Let each prattling child and ipaturiDg youth and maiden be taught the value of freedom its uses and abuses; let there be in? stilled into their plastic minds a feeling of intense patriotism and the principles upon which free and stable governments are founded. .

Of course, they mean that it possesses in aqd of itself the "value attributed to it, independent of all law. A silver or gold dollar is worth 100 cents, independent of all human enactments 25.8 grains of gold is the value of JQO cents. In what? In relation to what does it possess that value? It is of that value in labor, in wheat, or corn, or dry goods, or real estate? .If not ifi relation to some other object of desire, the term is meaningless. Value is not an independent entity, not a quality inhering in a material object or thing. Frof. Jevon, a very eminent authority, says: Yalue like utility is no intrinsic accident or relation. John Stewart Mill says the word value always means yalue in exchange. Prof. Francis A. Walker says: Yalue is not? the property of anything. It arises wholly out of relations which exist between things, Prof. Perry oE Williams college, says; The vatu of anything cannot be found out by studying tnat particular thing by itself alone. Value is not an attribute of single things, not even if the thing be physical and tangible. The chemist iu his laboratory may analyze a lump of gold. He finds that it is bright, beautiful, ductile, and has other qualities, but its value must depend wholly upon the uses to which it can be applied. Value does not exist in any object, an j, therefore, there r, no such thing as iutrinsic values. If there is no demand for a specific thing that thing has no value. It value was intrinsic in articles it would remain intrinsic whether people wanted them or not. If the silver dollar relative to the gold dollar had lost 20 per cent, would it be proper to say that the silver dollar had lost or that the gold dollar ha gained 20 per cent iu intrinsic Value? The Secretary of the Treasury, who talke about the intrinsic value of gold and silver, may summon to his aid all the chemists and alchemists, all the college professors and writers on political economy in Europe and America, and they would search in vain for the intrinsic value of 100 pounds of either silver or gold. They might, by way of compromise for the time being, agree upon their interchangeable value, which is wholly extrinsic and dependent upon the law of demand and supply, and the edict or fiat of Government. With one blow of the hammer you may knock out the exchangeable value of a silver dollar, but you cannot affect its intrinsic va .ue. You canuot knock out the exchangeable value of a gold dollar, for the rearn that the Government will take the fragments and them without expens- -' to you If they would treat the bruised f Iver d .liar as it does the gold dollar, iu eg- - ffiOi ? fT't civilized governments would Flocks to the Winter range remonetize silver at a given ratio to in the Western put of oi nni: exthe would doubt that nobody gold At K' Jlr ni Millard County.

From all the nations of the earth there came to Utah colonies of sturdy men and women. They were impelled by a common faith to sever the ties of kindred and native land and brave the oceans dangers and the greater perils-oa long journey by land. It required greater intelligence to understand the logic of the new Gospel than had been necessary for the faith of their ancestors; thus those that came were more intelligent than their neighbors whom they left behind. It also required a greater degree of honesty to embrace an unpopular faith; thus those that came to Utah were more honest than the average of their countrymen. It required independence of thought and superior courage to break away from old traditions but they did so, and thus Utah became the home of an intelligent, honest and courageous peo- territorial vassalage shall have been stricken from those who have patiently worn them.
