Friends of silver Unite.

Addresses were issued simultane-
ously on Feb. Is, by Jas. K. Jones,
chairman of the Democratic National
Committee, Charles Towne, (chair.
man) and all the Silver Republican
Senators and Representatives, and
by Marion Butler. Chairman Of all
the Populist Senator'S, and most If
not all the Representatives, this
means q compact ana perfect union
Of all the people, with very few ex-
C, ptions, opposed to the gold sland-
ard, the retirement Of tue greenbacks
and silver eertiicatea-the peoples
money-and the surrender Of the
control Of the currency tc the Ma
tional banks.
Such a union means victory 10 the
elections this fall and 10 1870.
1t means victory now by a battle
OF votes against dollars. The gold
bugs will not surrender the control
Of the government without resorting
to every method that money can
command, TO retain it. And they
have a competent and experienced
leader in Marcus Aurelius Hanna.
He knows what II means TO buy an
election. He has bought two. One
for tho Presidency and one for the
Senate.
Il was we'll said that eternal
vigilance is the price of liberty
Every honest lover Of his country
must be on his guard. Every sub
terfuge will be resorted To-. War,
pestilehce and famine, if they could
be invoked would be brought into
play, By tie gold bugs TO defeat the
will Of the people So The people
must be organized.
