The advocates of the single gold stan
ard are united, active, and prepared to
fight with money and influence to gain
their object, which is 10 'make the rich
richer, and the poor poorer" Party lines
with them are obliterated-they stand
ready to endorse any man for president
no matter what may have been his
former party afiliations-who is the adj
vocate OF gold standard. They will
bring to bear the influence of the pres
ent administration backed by Wall and
Lombard streets to accomplish the per-
manent establishment of the single gold
standard. They are united rich and
powerful, and will leave no effort unex-
hausted to accomplish victory in 1895
which will mean disaster and distress'to
the masses of the American people, East,
West, North and South. AS the mem
Der from Idaho of the Executive Com
mittee of the Bimetallic Union | appeal
to the people of Idaho to come to the
front and contribute to the cause of sill
yer, as our neighboring states Colorado,
Utah, and Montana have done. Every
man, woman and child in Idaho is di-
rectly interested in the reconciliation
of silver, and each and every one should
feel it q dnty and pleasure to assist as

appeal to the mine owners, the miners,
the merchants, farmers, bankers, and
all citizens of Idaho to contribute to
this good cause what they feel able to
give, and ask them to relize the vast i'm
portance of success, which means pros
perity to all, or the disastrous results
which will come with defeat. Let the
mine owners contribute literally; let
miners pay say $1.00 each every three
months, until the fight is won; let the

school children to compete to see what
