MONEY.
The Republican party Il unrestrict.
edly for sound money. Il caused the
enactment Of the law providing for the
resumption Of specie payment in 1879 ;
since then every dollar has been a. good
a. gold.
We are unAlterably opposed 10 every
measure calculated 10 debase our cur.
rency or impair the credit Of our coun.
try. We are therefore opposed 70 the
free coinage Of silver except by inter.
national agreement with the leading
commercial nations Of the world,
which we pledge ourselves 10 promote.
and until such agreement can be oh.
tanned the existing gold standard must
be preserved. All our silver and paper
currency must bo maintained with the
parity Of gold, and we favor all meas
ures designed 10 maintain inviolably
the obligations Of the United States and
all our money. whether coin or paper,
at the present standard, the standard Of
the most enlightened nations OF che
world.
PENSIONS.
The veterans Of the Union deserve
and should receive fair treatment and
generous recognition. Whenever prac-
tioable they should BE- given the pre-
ference In the matter Of employment
and they are entitled 10 the enactment
Of such laws as are best calculated d
secure the fullllment Of the pledges
made 90 them In the dark days Of th'
country's peril We denounoe the prac

administration Of reducing ponsioni
and arbitrarily dropping names from thI
