Excerpt from Utah: A Peep Into a Mountain-Walled Treasury of the Gods

Eastern newspaper statisticians are proverbially masters of the art of inaccuracy, and their so-called statistics are usually to be taken, like dreams or women's whims, by contraries. But they are probably not far wrong in their every-season estimate that a hundred thousand Americans annually make the tour of Europe at an average expense of at least a thousand dollars each. That is a total of a hundred million dollars a year expended by new-world people in familiarizing themselves with old-world scenes, while, as a general thing, they are wholly unacquainted with the infinitely grander scenes on their own side of the Atlantic ferry. In a single day of the recent season eight huge ocean steamers left New York, bearing nearly three thousand first-cabin passengers for a European summer tour. Every steamship that sails during the fashionable outing months goes crowded with these too often ignorant and snobocratic American voyagers to foreign lands for recreation and pleasure, that could be far more easily and cheaply found at home. How many of them have ever seen the glories and grandeurs, the beauties and sublimities of their own matchless land? How many of them know, how many of them have ever dreamt, that their own - our own - is incomparably the grandest continent on all the globe?

There is urgent need of a constitutional amendment prohibiting any untutored American citizen or citizeness, redolent of pork corners, wheat gouges, stock swindles, and "just-struck-rich-dirt" -inesses, from going abroad to paralyze the cab-drivers and coffee-house waiters of effete monarchies with gilded republican airs until he or she has seen and learned something of America.
