WASHINGTON, June i2.-F'resident Hayes, al
though in former years preIispos,d. like
many other hard money men, TO adhere to the
prevalent doctrine of tinancisl writer's in favor
Of a single gold standard, has materially chang
ed his views during the progress of the general
discussions regarding the wisdom and prOpriety
of the act of 1873. which d-fnoneiiz.tl the old
legal tender silver dollar. He Is now in favor
Of its remonetiZatiOn and Of the readaptatioH oi
the double standard OF gold and silver, OF. in
other words, he farOrs the full return to the
condition OF things in relation to these subjects
which existed previous TO the legislation OF 1873,
beng convinced that such a return to the for
mer system will greatly promote the reSump-
ton of specie payments, an object that hs re-
CARDS of importance. While, however, he con-
siders the Legislation of 1873 to hav. been a hasty
and unculled for interference with the legal ten
der powers of II largc portion of our circulating
medium. he has not yet formed any detsrmIni-
ton /" bring the subject Officially To the attcn-

probable That he may hereafter conclude that

above outlined will he advisable.
