Industrial Union.

There is danger to the social and civil fabric.” —ls there is anything that wiH tire the immortal soul out of a man, it is to hear the democratic papers abuse John Sherman for demonetizing silver, when the democratic house in the last congress with 148 majority indorsed it, and if it had not been for the people’s party men would have made it worse than Sherman did. —Lamar (Mo.) Industiial Union. —Wall street shows its patriotism by , demanding and trying to Compel an i»> ! sue of government bond*.
