This booklet contains two publications by United States Vice-president Schuyler Colfax as well as a response to each by Elder John Taylor. Vice-president Colfax condemns the practice of polygamy in the Utah territory and examines the 'Mormon question' regarding Utah's potential admission to the Union as a state. He comments on church members' fertilizing of the desert, their previous persecutions, and their polygamy. Elder Taylor responds to each of these points.
