It was before the age of temperance societies and all classes of people considered It perfectly right to take a little strong drink occasionally. Drunkenness was the besetting sin of that era among the English race. Joseph was not a because there were none.

He was atao very fond of wrestling, as many of his friends of later years know, and doubt lees when stimulated with cider was on hand for a bout.

Some of the affidavits to Joseph Smith's As this information is on a rather touchy Subject, and the question lowering the tariff on goods manufactured here and sold cheaper abroad than at home, is bound to come up before Congress lor discussion during the coming winter, there is some doubt among the members of the commission as to Whether manufacturers will care to respond to the inquiries. A number of witnesses did not hesitate, however, to inform the commissioners that certain classes of goods were sold by them to foreign customers at lower rates than to the home trade, so it is hoped to get enough replies to form reliable tables A member of the commission defended this Policy as follows in a talk with the Eagle correspondent day "The testimony taken.

Smith was charged with being a disorderly person and an Impostor. The complainant swore that Smith had swindled Josiah Stowel by pretending to locate hidden treasures. It would seem from this record that Stowel came forward to defend Joseph Smith and declare his belief in the Prophet's honesty and skill as a "money digger." He would not join in the prosecution of Smith and evidently considered the prisoner a much abused man. The testimony given by Stowel Is in part as follows: "Josiah Stowel sworn. Says that prisoner had been at his house something like five months.

Had been employed by him to work on farm part of time; that he pretended to have skill of telling where hidden treasures in the earth were by menus of looking through a certain stone; that prisoner ha looked for him sometimes, once to tell him about money buried on Hend Mountain In Pennsylvania, once for gold on Monument said to have been commanded by some of his predecessors.

In response to a query concerning the Mormon understanding of the meaning of the "unpardonable sin," President Snow replied: "The unpardonable sin Is sinning against Perfect Knowledge; for instance, the killing of Prophet Smith that was sinning against the Holy Ghost." Elder George Reynolds, a Mormon author of high repute in Utah, epitomizes the belief of hie church in relation to the character of Joseph Smith in these words: ble aDd the writer dropped it to talk about Proptet Smith.

The testimony before the commission brought out the fact that the manufacturers of free trade England generally do the same thing, arid the principle is followed out by bur manufacturers in supplying various parts Of the United States.

A Chicago manufacturer, for instance, after supplying his own Immediate market, will lower the price of his goods when he invades the field of a competitor. This is a practice that is almost universal among manufacturers, and extends to the foreign trade as well."
