A CHAPTZE ON POLYGAMY Mormon Experience by a Mormon. [Extract of a letter to the Chicago Tribune.) When I came to Deseret, there were not many who were in the enjoyment of more than one wife, and many or mosi of the new comers were opposed to it. But as they saw how beautifully and harmoniously these families lived where there were two or more wives, their pre- judices gradually gave way, and among no class was this change more apparent than the women. At the present time, if a vote were taken upon the subject, I venture to say that nine out of every ten women who have lived here two years, would sustain our present social system in this particular. They are more for it than the men, for upon many of the lat- ter it entails heavy burdens—though the truth is, our wives in Deseret make no retensions to being fine ladies, their ighest ambition being to help their hus- bands, and their poer brothers and sis- ters in the Lord’s Church. There are very few men here wino have more than five wives, and a large part have but one, while some have none. For myself, I have three.
