WASHINGTON, Nov. 15.-It is understood
thet the President considers the present
condition Of our finances most favorable to
speedy return to specie payments, and in
his forthcoming message will urge such a
measure upon Congress. He is opposed to
all tinkering with the currency, and be-
heves if the present internal revenue law
be suffered to remain intact another
year, such tangible reduction of the public
debt will then have been effected so as to
enable the government to safely and materi-
ally modify taxes of all kinds
The resumption of specie payments, the
President argues, viii prevent the huctua-
tons in gold and break up the influence of
gold gamblers and save the people from
the ruinous effects of an irredeemable
currency.
