A clipping from the St. Johns Herald, a newspaper local Latter-day Saints considered an anti-Mormon publication. In this clipping, the paper contrasts Latter-day Saint prophet-president John Taylor with Americans “who more than a century ago rebelled and forbade the interference of a priesthood in civil affairs, and who only conceded to the beasts that perish—polygamous selection for the improvement of the stock.” | Source: “John Taylor Addressing the Saints—Their ‘Persecutions.’” St. Johns Herald, February 12, 1885.
