The time to put an end to this Indus
trial Army nonsense has fully come. The
inventor Of Is has demonstrated BY actual
experisncs thst nothing that he has pre-
tended 70 hope for can b accomplished
By IL. He has succsedsd only in getting .
little brief personal notoriety at the cost
OF his followers and the psopls upon whom
they have imposed. He has fully shown
that his pretended army, and all the
other prstsndsd armies have really moth

compel people to feed them by show Of
numbers. It 10 high time they we're dis

attention Of the unthinking from their

IL will not do TO take any selfish view Of
