uetnl Under an Agreement BE-
tween the Nations.

st. Louis, June 16.-The sub committee
on resolutions tonight resolved to re-
commend the following financial plank:
The Republican party is unreservedly
for sound money. 1t caused the enact
ment of the law providing for the re-
sumption of specie payments in 1879.
Since then every dollar has been as good
as gold.
we are unalterably opposed to every
measure calculated to debaSe our cur
rency, or impair the credit of our coun-
try. We are, therefore, opposed to she
free coinage of silver. except by interna-
tional agreement with the leading COM
mercial nations of the world, which we
pledge ourselves to promote. and until
such agreement can be obtained, the
existing gold standard must be pre-
served. All our silver and paper cur
rency now in circulation must be main
tanned at parity with gold, and we favor
all measures designed to maintain in
vlolably the honor of the United States
and all our money, whether coin or paper
at the present standard, the standard OF
the most enlightened nations of the
earth
