Show IS IT NOT 1 w Is ihnot about time that the fire eating an ti cormons mormons of ogden should cool off and return to reason and business upon genao principles some very respectable non mor mou business men in this city bave been of lute carried away with the notion that they were on the eve of beholding the ruin of the cormons mormons speedily consummated by the enactment of revolutionary laws they to see the cormons mormons disfranchised dis at once and the local government turned the control of a paltry minority they forgot that all just powers of gov are derived from the consent of the governed and the federal government may upon this correct principle maintain its general authority over utah yet of right the local territorial govern ment ought to be in thu hands of the grand taxpaying majority who have given this region its material wealth by their industry and made it possible for many newcomers new comers to subsist h arc the non mormon business men end others in this community have been influenced too much by passion and inflamed by partisan leaders beyond feelings of justice and humanity they have allowed their sentiments of opposition to the cormons mormons to run into vicious extremes they have been ready to sanction or acquiesce in almost any wrong aimed at tho either individuals or as members of their church ae a result they have gained nothing and injured themselves our non mormon residents generally are here to better their condition to make money yet many of them have been drawn into a career of political perversity which could not but be disastrous to them in a financial or a business way and is it not about time that they should pause and reflect have they not followed rabid liberal adventurers in search of political spoils laug enough in this community there cabeen run for a year or so an alleged newspaper destitute of any charac te of a genuine newspaper in almost every issue of this scrub sheet fur months past alie masses of our residents have been disgracefully abused calumniated and tra deuced without method consistency or decency its every easue has been an insult or an outrage to the masses of this community and although its circulation has amounted to not more than a hundred and readers certain business ata of this community have endorsed its licentious career and rendered its pestiferous career possible by paying for useless ad ments in its columns at the same time indicating the foolish animus of their bias by refusing to advertise in a local paper that has dozens of readers where it has a solitary one thu people properly hold the patrons of this rotten anti mormon sheet responsible with its proprietor fur its character has the time not come when business men roust practice a better judgment and a broader policy of fairness than to adopt such a partisan method of advertising that they not only cut kofl their noses to agite their faces to speak out also place their advertising patronage exclusively in a filthy channel as an aid to help sustain a daily insult to and outrage upon themas sea of the community there is in all things and there is reason in business why violate ull bubness amenities to gratify re political feeling why sacrifice hunegs to politics when success in business is the chief end desired and when the expressed pa bajon of is alie principal barrier tu financial triumphs we arc aware that some of our gentile business men have to contend with a email but omnipresent class of gentlemen of leisure who are to be seen loafing about many gentile establishments at nearly all timea of day and especially during afternoons and evenings these gentlemen ofle suro havo no very def finate business to absorb their attention and no valuable interests at atako and they are the bane nf even the liberal party they arc invariably more or lea le a bilks their patronage is worth almost they entertain rabid feelings of hatred howarda the cormons mormons chiefly because the mor mons are thrifty and they arc not because they have not the patience and honesty to win thrift by hard J work as alio cormons mormons do they want official position and emalu meats which they do bot deserve an d arc un win by laborious application to malo and praiseworthy calling these gentlemen of leisure drop in upon the gentile merchant and incidentally damn the cormons mormons Mor mons if the decd bot respond by damning the cormons mormons in return he is ridiculed and if that does not drive him into line ho abused jack mormon or something of that sort and ally in the end the merchant yields by reciprocating the sentiments of the loafing gentleman of leisure who represents one of the bulldozing forces of radical anti mormon partisan passion and hatred which ought to bo alien to the thriving business devotee the best wa to secure business independence from the annoyance of these troublesome and bulldozing gentlemen of leisure is simply to treat them with that civility of indifference chich every nonentity or nondescript deserves they amount to nothing and can do no one any substantial harm if they aro simply treated with the cour leous contempt which their insign in cence merits |
