WASHINGTON, u. c., Nov. 10-Thc debate In
the House to-day upon tho antlrcsu1npttUn bill
WAS much moro interesting than TINT Of ycstcr-
day. The most notable speech Of tho entire tlc-
bato was made by Gen. Garfield. It was beyond
comparison the strongest speech male in oppo-
sitlon u tho bill. 1t WAS an nncompromisng
argument 10 favor Of harj money. Tho grcell-
back WINS necessity Of tho War, he sald and NIL
who aided IN passing TINT act did 30 with a re-
corded protest against It's dangers. Stevens in
tho House, Fcsscnacn In the Senate, and even
tho iumb1cst members Of both branches, were
agreed that rs soon as practicable they would
return to tho doctrine OF their fathers. Tho
grecnback was In the nature Of
A FORCED LOAN.
It WEB forced upon the soldier, and upon all.
The resumption Of 1919, he claimed, was u
blessing instcad OF q curse to England. II was
the Corn law, he said, and not tho Resumption
net, that caused the financial panic OF 1897.
Tho British attempted TO erect Chinese wnll
around their entire Island, mud tho agricultural
interests Of tho country in consequence were
ruined.
Gen. Garfield declared TINT the country has
made up Its MUD that there IL to bo resunp-
tton in 1870, and II the act Is repealed now tho
country La 10 bc again launched upon
AsEA or UNCERTAINTY.
Tho advocates Of resumption, ho said, did not
propose 10 destroy tho grccnback, but to dig
Eify and glurlfy It. Tho law was not to destroy,
but reduce tho volume OF grecnbacks to $780,
00o,000, and to make that amount convertible
into coin. Tic drift Of Ills speech was that tho
esseuce OF tho present struggle Is IN the one
baud to mako the grcenback better, and On tho
Other to 1nake II WORSE.

the tnnes are favorable to resumption. 1lo In
rated that the net

because, frst, public faith demands That It be
csta Of tho country demand Il; and third, be-
cuuso the flturu prosperity Of tho mutton re-
qulrcs 1t. Aa for htmacff, Gen. 0ariclJ sleclarcd
that he would oppose tho repeal II sucl net
should take from him all tho political future
eyrr offered to MI American.

for dcbntc. and t'u privilege was granted,to all
