Philadelphia. The "Na ional Repub-
llcap" OF this morning printed the fol-
as an outline OF its contents:

circles that the President begins his
forthcoming annual massage by com
gratul ting Congress and the country
upon the successful accomplishment
Of resumption. but warns Congress
that unless The unlimited cinage Of
,tindard silver dollars is stopped tn,
present amount of gold will soOu be-
gin gradually to flow out of the coun-
ny, and that silver will take its place.
On this point recommends that no
lctiun be taken AS to fixing the ratio
between The silver d,llar and the goli
dollar until the International Montary
Cugre,s shall huve arrived as some
confusion regarding the Legitimate
.iatus Of silver. but suggests that
