Winnipeg Free Press (Newspaper) - October 26, 1877, Winnipeg, Manitoba G o to lir Igram Misail. Perkins in new York Sun. One Day was with Brigham Nune around Tho suburbs of Salt v Lake t we came in from the hot Sulphur which run Hoo it Little River from Fife Rock base of the it Usach mountains about it North of Tho City we passed a dilapidated Adobe Wall a Wall made from unbaked Clay. The Wall had been eight or nine feet High but it is now Little Moie than what was that Wall built i asked. That Wall was built for two a find the Prophet. It once extended All around Salt Lake. It was it Little chinese Vail with Loop holes Gates round Salt Lake was once it walled a nit 01 yes it was walled All around the Wall Cost a great Deal of labor too. Hundreds of men worked All Winter on but you have not told me the two Pur poses for which it was i suggested. Well the chief purpose of this Vail was to keep three or four Hundred emigrants from being Idle. You see we had a Large immigration one year. They arrived in August too Lato to do any thing on their farms. Now an Idle Man is always a bad Man. Still we had nothing for them to do. How can i employ them i asked myself. Then i thought of this Wall. To make it seem necessary we had to pretend that we were threatened by Tho indians around us. This was easily done for several indians had been hovering around the town. In a few Days we up the for Protection put these hundreds of Idle men to work. The wages were Small but they All worked steadily during Tho fall win no indians Over troubled the no i never thought they would. But four Hundred Idle men would have troubled it. We were in More danger from Idle men than from indians. And this has always Leen my idea whenever i have found an Idle mormon i have set him to work kept him Busy with i hands brain then he is always sure to to a Good this i found has always been the Prophet s theory. If it poor immigrant came to Salt Lake without Money Brigham placed him on n farm gave him implements seeds. He made him self sustaining. Everything in Salt Lake was built right there. A Moi non built the big Organ in the Tabernacle. Mormons build officer their railroads mor Nons Are budding their great Temple. Before he died the Prophet had mormon furniture factories a mormon mint whore they once coined their own Money six Cotton Woollen factories. In fact Brigham Young taught his people to make everything they ate drank or wore except Contee Tea sugar Pepper spice. The River running Down from the Wasnich mountains behind Salt Lake is a Good water Power with 150 feet fall. The same water runs through two million dollars Worth of irrigating canals Waters the whole Salt Lake Plain before it empties into the Lake. Brigham Young was a Good Mechanic. Lie could make anything to Ever saw when occasion required he could invent new appliances. He was a rough rude Man but terribly in Earnest. He was like Zack Chandler in politics Sherman in War St. Paul in the ministry. He was Al ways aggressive. His son John "w., on the contrary is always on the defensive. He is always patting people on the Back Al ways tranquil Lizmi making peace. He is the mostly gentlemanly quiet mannered Man i Ever met. Ii wins everybody with his smiles kind . The morn ing we left for Ogden John w. Came Down to the cars with us. In going from the de pot no less than six mormons put their arms around him. Some oven kissed him. Brig Hara Young was feared but his son John. A. Will Lias made himself be loved. He will not fight. All strife will now end in Utah. Polygamy will gradually die out. John w. Will let it die but the mormon Church with its followers will stand. We double once in seven the Prophet said one Day. How double once in seven years j asked. Why in 1849 we had people.

Lyman Abbott an american Clergyman that can Adian French is patois hardly comprehensible to a Frenchman if i mistake not absolutely without a has been effectually disposed of by messes. Terry Lemoine in the columns of the Gazette the Quebec chronicle. Both writers Point out the classical character of Canadian French its purity As recognized emphatically by old country frenchmen. In deed no one can read the works of our numerous Canadian authors or the articles of the French Canadian press without recognizing Ai once these features. English speaking people ignorant of f Ench Are too ready to assume that parisian idiom accent Are the Standard by which to judge forgetting that parisian French is Only fashionable very changeable precisely As the English of London society varies every year in its inflection expressions the favorite affectation of a few years ago being regarded As absurd to Day Tho English of our grandfathers being almost obsolete. As to patois or. Lomoine Well Points out that while Canadian French is throughout the length breadth of Canada our leading French countrymen at tract attention in French salons by the purity Grace of their language the Jar gon of Ono French department is not under stood in another.
