The Florence Tribune says: elm
stead of organizing themselves
into Republican leagues and DEM
ocratic Leagues, the people of the
west. irrespective of party, should
form union on the single idea OF
the free coinage of silver and gold
at q ratio of l6 to l. irrespe ctive
of what foreign nations may do.
They should raise fund for the
dissemination OF silver literature
In the efete east, aud thereby edu-
cate the people of that benighted
region so that they may know
what's what. It is not necessary
to abandon old party organizations
in order to do thIs, but let all unite
for once and work for the common
good of the country. Of course
the pap suckers will not agree to
this, but the people, who have
been fooled long enough, must take
q hand or lose their birthright.
Organize silver clubs; and take q
solemn vow to support no man for
office who advocates the single gold
standard"

would relieve all homes in the town o

all be sent for necessary information
