| Show LIKE TO HE n. DECEIVED En There arc are people who like to bo be deceived e Barnum I Is credited with the statement that Americans enjoy being fooled Cooled A And n such persons persona as still tal take e tho ho Salt Lake Tribune must belong to the class One Ono of the time phases of or Its fooling them lies in its pretended pretended pre pro tended subscription rate Until very recently tho Tribune Tribune TrIbune Trib Trib- une has not found It necessary to tu reduce Its Hs very high price It has hel held for Cor a dollar a month mouth and the people people peo pee pie fooled b by tho the pretense of a conscientious support by bythe the he Tribune have ha pal paid It il whenever cl the they took that paper Recently the management has discovered cre time the they would woul have ha to get et down from tho the pedestal of oC haughty Insolence and antl offer otTer something better than dishes or a 3 dollar a month And And thc they have reduced tho the price just one Instead of charging a dollar ollar for thirty days day the they have hae asked for and accepted subscriptions at the rate of oC a ado do dollar for fort forty days as That Thal amounts to a confession that they have been demand demanding In just third one-third more than their paper was worth It Is one of or the jo joys s of making an honest paper to lo reflect that The Republican has driven the thc Tribune to tomake tomake tomake make time the re reduction mentioned But the time Tribune price Is still too high high tar far too high Down at al Murray lurla the tIme people declare agents of tho Tribune Tribune Trib Trib- une uno have been offering them tho time paper fifty days for Cor a 3 dollar whIch dollar which is just jut double tho the reduction If Ie the they o havo have been drawing a dollar for Cor thirty days das and are now willing will wIlU ing log to accept a a. dollar for fifty days and days and that is the I port from Murray they Murray they arc are willing to concede sixty six por pCr cent reduction rather than lose the remnant of oC local support time thc they feel the they need neel in order to carry the Eastern contract And yet we doubt if it the price Is fair The I Tribune is dear at any price No paper on which the rea reader er can not depend I is im worth even en the time smallest price that ma may be asked And It has become clear to all excepting the time type that likes to be deceived deceive that the Tribune can not and will not nott not t tell ll tho the truth where a lie He will apparently serve its own Interests The Time Sheets case is a a. case in point and the thc McWhirter side of oC that thal case serves senes the purpose of Illuminating illumInating Illum illum- mating One of or those brothers robbed b by the time Tribunes Tribune's bunco friends of or ten thousand dollars Ollars has written a letter Jetter to his home paper papel in Scotland and the editor of the Scottish paper introduces the letter with a note In which he states that the tho McWhirter brothers have with the kind assistance of oC friends gone Into business in Salt Lake And Amid the Tribune shouts time tho charge that the brothers broth broth- ers have confessed the they are receiving financial a assistance assistance assist assist- ance from Salt Lake people presumably the authorities of or the Mormon establishment We e dont don't remember to have found an anything more sill silly even In the Tribune unc Unless It Is tho the general charge hargo of of oC he he Tribune th that tho Mormons brought the to this alt elt city for th the tho J purpose of oC embarrassing tho the American city tion by proving Its pollee chief a rogue Uc What Is the time go good d of oC tee feeding that ort sort of pa pabulum to intelligent people But why should intelligent people people peo pee pie encourage It 1 The They have to pa pay th the tho price They havo have a right to condemn the spreading of ot foolish fare before them And by the way way way- What Is the time warrant for the Tribunes Tribune's pretense that polygamous marriages are arc still occurring in Utah It has declared that hundreds s o of such cases have occurred The Tribune should tell who are arc the time s guilty parties when they committed the time violation of law and antl who of oC all Utah people solemnized the marriage No one at all fair fall in iii his judgments s will believe the Mormons encourage new pol polygamous samous marriages es nor that the authorities of or that church sanction cr or permit them Sensible and amid minded fair-minded people do not believe the thc Tribunes Tribune's Tribunes Tribune's Trib Trib- unes une's charge that law Jaw violations of this sort ha have c hap hap- We Ve are very Ci sure if IC they havo and tho the Tribune will vill give glo the names and dates the guilty parties will be punished and amid the time Mormons will h by no means tr try to prevent It People of that thal persuasion have ha in good faith abandoned polygamy They are arc contracting those marriages Tile The They would not restore polygamy amy as a part of thell their econom economy if there w were re no law against it fl today And it is not fair fall to them a a. a big and reputable clement element clementin in our community to make mako such reckless and unfounded charges And yet if there Is an element in imm this community which h makes males It profitable for a newspaper to print such stor stories es f Isn't nt it fl really In some somo part tho the fault of the the subscriber He lie must know he ho is being told timIngs things that are arc not nol true Docs ho he like liko It so well that ho willingly pays pas a dollar for Cort forty days of oC such a deceiver An And by tho the way the tho reduction In the price of or the time Tribune is not nol genCia general The Tho old price still hol holds s as a rule But wo we aro are willing to do the average patron of that paper the service to a advise him He lie has been payIng paying pay pay- Ing a dollar a month while others have been getting the tho paper for fort forty days das for Cor tho same samu money monc Doubtless 8 each subscriber can get the same came r reduction if they theO d demand mand it hard hard enough Although knowing the they are deceived ed they should insist on paying as little for tor it as possible |
