Sir Charles Tupper, C. B., K. C. M. G., MinUtter of Railways and Canals, and Canadian High Commissioner at London. SIR, — I have read with extreme surprise and regret your remarks, as published in the official record of the Commons Debates, on the character and trustwoithiness of Mr. Miall, appointed by you on the 28th Jan., 1884, to investigate and report on the accounUi of the Canadian Pacific Railway as a basis for certain advances of enorniotis magnitude it is prof>ose(l to make to the Company out of the Dominion Trea- sury, and certain guarantees based on the public Hecuritios of the Dominion. It will be within your recollection that in a printed letter and Argument, dated May 27th, 1881, ad- dressed to Earl Granville and the ¥m:\ of Kitnborley, I displayed the antecedent« of Mr. Miall wheli he was entrusted by you with the responsible position of Royal Commissioner to examine into and report on all matters connected with the Canadian Pacific Railway. This letter and Argument is enclosed and I beg of you to accept it as a part of this communication. Your knowledge of the antecedents of Mr. Miall, coupled with the repetition of your published an- nouncement of entire confidence in the honourable conduct of that officer, is a matter of vast moment to Canada and to British investors in Canadian Securities of all kinds. Your allusion in Parliament, to his former work for the late Government of Canada and your own understood relation to the Canadian Pacifto Railway, now compel me to announce your further i-elation, and that of your colleague, Sir I^onard Til- ley, to the figures which were placed in Mr. Miall's hands for adjustment during the period when he was "employed by the late Government on Financial ({uestions of the gravest importance." — See Hansard page 122, "Feb. 6th, 1884, or page 102 in subsequent edition). In the matter of the Halifax Fisheries Commission, the lale Government were comj^elled to take your figures and those of your colleague. Sir Leonard Tiliey, togei lirr with the figures of your joint accomplice. Dr. Edwai-d Young, of the United States Bureau of Stuti>*tics, acting against the interests of the United States, or they would have been compelled to risk the sarrifice of the Fisheries of Canada by disclosure. I do not attempt to. defend in any way the line of action then tak*>n, but I must now, in the prospec- tive presence of iminent and appalling disasters if you succeed iii roxr schemes, put matters in their pit>- per light, because you and Sir I.«onard Tiliey, have successfully rv.'sjsted for many years all my efforts in the interests of honour, truth and humanity. Your "able 'iccountant," Mr. E. Miall, the Deputy Minister of Inland Revenue, is an accomplished manipulator of forged figures, and in the matter of the Halifax Fisheries Commission he is known to you as a conscious accessory to perjury in the name of the (juoen, in especial relation to the fraudulent use of certain figures, some of the most important of which, you and your colleague, Sir I.«onard Tiliey, provided for him in your official capacities, and for which you are both responsible. I confine myself in this communication to a small but important group of figui-es which serve to illus- tttte one method of falsifying the public Records of Canada. Othsr, but grosser and yet kindred methods are illustrated in the various documents J have recently transmitted to His Excellency the Govornor- General, the receipt of which His Excellency has been so kind and just as to acknowledge. I fumijhed His Kxcellency with three copies of each paper, not including of course, the important Document entitled "Appendix — Memorandum concerning Article XXI of the Treaty of Washington," which holds the key to so many fraudulent devices, and the text of which voiir "able accountant," Mr. E. Miall compiled. In the letter I had the honour to ti-ausmit on the 3l8t ult. to His Excellency, I introduced the greater portion of the details embodied in the attached Statemeutd. also' the following pansage in relation to the successfuj, tampering with Dr. Edward Young, late Chief of the United States liui-eau of Statistics, and seducing him to introduce into the public Records of the Government he served, false statistics against the interests of his own adopted oouDtty and in favour of Canada. To this passage I bog to ask your parti- calar attMition ob the greiind that Tmn9it of Merchandise through the United States under certain favour- able conditions, lapses with the expiration of the ^hery clausos of the Treaty of Washington on the first of July next year. "We know that Englishmen would be the first to resent any secret successful attempt of a Foreigner o make of Mr. Miall's untrustwortliynesH, that not only are the interests of Canada greviously endangered by lii» as-sistud and |)rotecl('d malfeasance, but the hone.st iuvestmenis of Dritish and Foreign holders of Canadian Securities of all kinds, are imperilled by the coutijiiiance of those practices whose illegality ami viciousncss it a|>pt'ar« lo be the function of this oHicer to utilize or conceal. 1 beg to refer you again to my published letters entitled "The United States Spurious Statistics and the Coiis|iiiiicy wiiid. created tliem." la the letter bearing date (Jet. 16th, 1HH2, 1 call Secretary Freling- huyseu's attention to the circumstance that tin- most notable instance of sudden change in tlie United States Dome.stic Exjwrts occurs in the tisai! year l«72-3. Tliis was the year in which you had charge of tlu) Customs Records of tiio Dominion. I further prove that Dr. Edward Young's figures in the United Slates ]{ecords for 1S72-3 purporting to show United .States Exports of Fisli, \'c., to all Uritish North and South America, are, wlion unmasked, an exact submultiple of Canadian Imports from the United Vjtates. I now show that Dr. Young's figures, representing U. S. Fish Exporls,allof which can be rendered in terms of Canadian Imports, are nothing more than a constructed and fraudulent aggregate of your and Sir I.«onard Tilley's "Fire-brick and Clay Series," agaiu8t^,tl'.e interests of the Unitiicl Suites. In the lett«u' dated Nov. 1st, 1882, 1 notice the items manufactured by your accomplice. Dr. I'Mward Young, to "prove" the value of remission of duties by fraudulent entries in the United States Commerce and Navigation Ileports for 1872-3. I now regretfully show, being urged by the claims of humanity and my countrymen, that these acts, dreadfully defaming justice and honor, imperil all Canadian interests, and rise as a Nembsih to wither your inflated and sickly Canadian Pacific Itailway bonds and shares. I observe from the official report in Hansard of your recent ellbrt to procure further inordinate State aid, practically in favour of the assumed necessities of individuals forming the Canadian Pacific liailway Company, that you attribute to Gou and Pkovidknck, unusual and most surprising natural and mechanical dispositions in favour of your Government. — (Page 131, or Wlfllaiuiard). But you neglect to portray the re- tributive justice of Providence as often displayed in the ultimate throes of those who palm off "fire-bricks aud clay" as sulMtitutes for fish, si^cretly invade uud alter the I'econls of their neighbour, and display their integrity by summoning to their aid the known agents of cruel and sustained decejjtion. That neither you, nor Sir Leonard Tilley ivre iasousiblo patrons of the profitable frauds and dishonour I have outlined, is proved by the craven and spiritle.ss silence with which you have received the proofs I have 80 often proferred of your sultish delincpionuies. This is further displayed by the vast liurry of your present nefarious work, imi)elk'd by the burning consciousness you possess that what 1 state can not be re- futed. It is further shown by the uniform action you have taktui to treat and cause to be treated with obstructive but deceitful indJlereiice, the earnest ellorts I have so long made to save the country ant) my countrymen from that pernicious degiadatiou which is always the fruit of protected official fraud. 1 enclose with this communication printed co|)ies of the cautionary letters 1 addressed (and register- ed) with proofs, so far back as November, 1881, to Mr. C. F. Smithers, President of the Hank of Montreal and Trustee for the Bondhohleis of the Canadian Pacific Itailway Company, to Sir Jorui Kose, to Mr. Geoi'ge Stephen, to .1. S. Kennedy & Vo., of New York, to Mr. Henry Northcote, Sir A. T. Gait and others. This is essential, because there can be no doubt whatever that neglect in taking reasonable pre- cautions against palpable and presented fraud, while placing fictitious faith in clearly false official declara- tion sustained only by temporary political power, is no excuse for endangering the property of others while adding to your own. It is so uear an approach to swindling in purple and hue linen, as to be inadmisiiible in Commercial life. There is also enclosed a copy of a letter 1 have addressed to the Hon. Alexander Mackenzie concern- ing this matter; also a printed communication 1 transmitted to Sir Leonard Tilley in November, 1882. I have already communicated with Sir Henry Tyler, President of the Grand Trunk in London, and othei-b, pointing out the imiueut danger to which the interests of British Shareholders in Grand Trunk, Great Western and other Securities in Canada are exposed by the omission or neglect of proper stops to ensure efficient and open jmblic iuijuiry into the motters herein referred to. The Statementa follow. 1 have the honour to be, Your obedient servant, HENKY YOULE HIND, M. A. Official Compiler of the Analytical Index to the Documents of the Halifax Fisherioa Commiiiion. Windsor, Nova Scotia, Feb. 15//*, 1884. I s (ind I THE STATEMENTS («) The chief source of my information, apart from the official annual Trade Returns, concerniug the facta nieutiouod in the foUowinjr Statements is derived from "A]ipondix — Memorandum concerning Article XX ( of the Treaty of Washington," heing the supposed appendix to the "Reply on behalf of Her Britan- nic Majesty's Government to the Answer of the United Htiites of America," presented to the ai'iitrators during tlu^ sittings of the Halifax Fisheries Commission. To this Document I refer, and upon its icvcla- tions I base a large ]iart of my statements. This "Ajjpoudix" wiw written, iis .stated repeatedly in the text, "for the Commission." The title is a snare. The document was never presented to the Commission, it was prepared for private and most dis- graceful use. It contains the detiiils of the figures sworn to at Halifax. These details disclose numerous and gross frauds not otherwise suscejitible of being traced or even discovered. This infamous document was written by the imposter and fraudulent accountant, Edward Miall, the figures are largely based ujion Sir Leonard Tilley's and Sir Charles Tupper's "Fire-brick and Clay Series." The rascality disclosed by this document is astounding, and it« worst feature is that Miall prepared the ar- gument for counsel at HalifnfX upon these false figures, knowing that they would be sworn to before the Commission. The history 6f "Appendix — Memorandum cone rning Article XXI of the Treaty of Washington" is a record of stupendous wrong, and a disgrace to the humanity and culture of our times and a few of our rulers, but to receive the report of the impostor Miall (at present the Canadian Deputy Minister of Inland Revenue) on the Canadian Pacific Itailway accounts, would be an outrage upon the credit and honour of Canada, upon the interests of British Shareholders in Grand Trunk, Great Western and other CaQudian Securities, and upon truth and justice, far exceeding what has already been perpetrated.

The converse is of course true. What had Dr. Edward Young, Chief of the Uuit«'d StJitcs Burttau of Statistics, to do with tho differ- ence between the Canadian omitted Marine and substituted I^nd items iu 1872-31 How did he get his information'? Why did lie make his United States figures agree with the Canadian figures against the in- terests of the United States t Again : — liy Example XXI, iu the year 1874, given in the sau.e published letter : — * 728,853—666,303 = 303,666—24 1 ,4 1 6 Therefore, from M above, 728,853—411,871 = 558,098—241,416 Consequently the sum of the unmasked Canadian and United States Imports and Exports of 1874 Is exactly double the sum of the Canadian Imports and United States Exports of 1873, with the omitted items from tho "Fire-brick and Clay Series" added to the United States figures ; and the four quantities are in arithmetical proportion. Tho following proportion brings the entire "Fire-brick and Clay Series" into inseparable connection with the United States figures for 1872-3. 87,786 being A iu the "Summary of the Whole" further on. 87,572 being the sum of the omitted items from 1867 to 1873. Difference, 214 108,206 being result in Example XXXV above. * 107,991 being 87,572 plus the difference between the omitted and substituted items in 1872-3 214 The four quantities are in arithmetical proportion, all the details were derived from the same small group of figures, Dr. Edward Young must have known all about the "Fire-brick and Clay Series," and was bribed to use this Series against his country. nH« ^^■^ 10 We are now able to ajjproach the terrible meaning of the equivalency between the figures of the "Fire- brick and Clay Series," the Masking Series derived from the number 666, and Dr. Edward Young's basis of his Export items. Thoy are, practically, one and the same Masked Series running on from year to year, and the Canadian Import items are, practically, in the hands of an "able accountant," identical with them. They are all masked multiples or submultiples of the same small group of pre-arranged or selected figures al- ready specified. The relations of the Canadian false figures for 1874 are shown in detail in my published letter to the Canadian Secretary of State, dated Feb. 8th, 1883. The details of the process which the conspirators era- ployed to arrange and mask their work is a subject apart from the proof of concerted fraud. These relations of alleged Imports from the United States, and alleged Exports to the United States, purporting to represent Marino Products and being in part Land Products, yet sworn to as Products of the Sea, prove : — Fint — That the Series as a whole is a manufacturea or forged Series extending continuously over all the years from 1867 to 1873, and pre-arranged for the purposes of Fraud. Second — That ihe I^ind Items are manufactured or forged items, adjusted for a special purpose. This adjustment or pro-arrangoment of quantities is further and specially exhibited and proved in the fol- lowing relations to the Canadian and United States Exports and Imports of the years 1873, 1874 and 1875. If these conclusions be not correct, how can the aggregates sworn to in evidence at Halifax appear in the Record, and all conform to the group of numbers given 1 Relation op this Series to the Canadian Imports and United States Exports durinothe years 1873, 1874 and 1875, The following Relations exhibit the inseparable connection of the "Fire-brick and Clay Series" of 1867 to 1873, with the United States Exports of Fish, Shell Fish, Fish Oils and Products of the Sea to all British North and South America, and the Canadian Imports of similar articles by the Provinces con- cerned in the Treaty of Washington, from the United States, during the years 1872-3, 1873-4 and 1874^.

Arranged in order the Remainders are, 1659 1445 903 756 . 693 479 214 And the Remainders disclose fatal relations. First — If continuously subtmcted from one another they produce as the final result the numbers from which they originated, namely, 9, 10, 22, 26, 42 being the values in dollars of the Land Items sworn to as Fish at Halifax in 1877, and the Marine Item, Whale Oil $56, which together form the basis of the "Fire-brick and Clay Series" as developed in the preceding Statements. This can be easily and quicWy proved without working out the continued subtraction by the follow- ing table, in which the quantities specified are given in terms of the "Fire-brick and Clay Series," whose origin and construction is formulated in the preceding Statements.

The remainder, or successive remain- ders, when one is deducted from the other in proper groups, show the groups to be in arithmetical propor- tion and consequently similarly related to the quantities from which they are derived. Thus : — 1659 Lass 1445 693 479 Iw 693 1446 479 214 214 966 966 1445 Plus 214 903 766 693 210 903 693 iio 689 479 210 1669 1669 90t 479 214 693 479 966 1445 - f^ ■■■ # 4 bers from sworn to lis of the e follow- ," whose 142 42 26 210 I remain- 1 propor- i i if (It will be observed that the Remainder 210 has been accidentally omitted from the column of '^Rk- HAiNDBRs" given on the preceding page.) . Third — The incompatible and incongruous Land and Sea quantities belonging to the yean 1867-73 and the figures of 1873, 1874 and 1875 are similarly related and interwovon.

If we turn to pages 218, 219, 220, 310, 311, &c., of the United States Official Annual Report on Commerce and Navigation for the year 1873, by Dr. Edward Young, Icte Chief of the United States fiureau of Statistics, we shall find the same figures as those forming the sum.s of the 36 separate columns given on page 8 of this letter, with the denominations attached to the figures, and the names of the Cana- dian Provinces or British American Colonies to which the alleged quantities are officially reported by Dr. K. Young as having been exported by the United States during that year. Numerous other positive relations between the Canadian and United States alleged Fish Imports and Exports for different years are produced by* proper arrangement of the figures presented, and by the in- version of the ddme figures, being the natural and only possible numerical consequences of the concortoa manufacture of the records of the United States and Canadian Fish Export8 and Imports from the same Series, masked by the same related numbers as described, and alway.s treacherously against the interests of the United States. And this is the stuff, composed of Fish, "Fire-bricks and Clay," "Chude Oils" — land products, which Mr. Miall, now Deputy Minister of Inland Revenue and official Referee on (Canadian Pacific Railway ac- counts, worked up to win the Fisheries Award from the United StiUiis, the forged material of his work being sworn to in evidence, and in part officially suuplied by i\w liiitish Arbitrator, Sir Alex. Gait. Is Mr. Edward Miall, who, just before these Vile figurt"- woiv sworn to in evidence, consciously moulded and based the argument of Counsel acting for Impnrinl Kngland in an international contention, upon a prospectively perjured and actually fraudulent foundiitiuii, u fit and proper person swiftly to ex- amine and hastily to report' on the va.st accounts of the Canadian Pacific litiilway Company, as the basis for further State aid of enormous proportions from the hands of the sMne Stateumeu who provided Mr. Miall with a large portion of the fal.<jliery Frauds, and the ter- ^nination of that official malfeasance which is destroying the morality of the peoi)le, endangering the cre- dit of the countrv, and impeiilliug the proi'erty of British and Foreign investors in Canadian Securities of all kinds 1 " , " k 4 Windsor, Nova Scotia, 20th Fkbruary, 1884. To Ch . . F. Suvithers, Esq., Pvefiident of ihe Bank of Montreal, and one vj the Trustees for the Bondholders of the Canadian Facifc Rail- way Company. SIR, — I beg to call your attention, and the attention of your eo-trustoes and commercial associates in Canada, London and New York to the accompanying letters and Statements; also to the printed and pub- lished cautionary letter I transmitted, registered, to you, Sir John Rose and others, in December, 1881 ; also to letters since then transnutted. You have long since been fully forewarned respecting the character and former work of Mr. Miall. Your associate on the London Committee of the Bank of Montreal, Sir ilohn Rose, is, as you will observe, officially implicated in the "Fire-brick and Clay Series," and he has been repeatedly warned by mo in various ways. For nearly two years he was Finance Minister of Canada, during the period when this huge fraud was being slowly elaborated in preparation for coming events by his associates in the Govern- ment of which ho was a leading member. Subsequently he was J'iuance Agent of Canada in London. His relation to the Treaty of Washington was long since explained in my printed and published letter en- titled "The Conspiracy of 1871," dated Jan. 30th, 1882 — more than two years ago. His relations to the Hudson Bay Co. and the Bank of Montreal are also known. The Hon. D, A. Smith, of the Hudson Bay Company, and a Director of the Bank of Montreal, is similarly situated in respect of warnings. The subject indeed, has been notorious for several years within the limited circle to which you or your associates belong, or to which you have access. Therefore, no excuse for inaction cjxn be based upon lack of information. You have worked or 'con- ntntvd with your eyes wide open. You are a participator in the profits of the traqsttctionu named, and i ■ >! A 4 ^ ^ IS you know timf "Fire-hvickn aiulXJlay" are not fish, that "Crude Oils" are not evolved from the aalt sea wiivfi, nnd that "Furs, Skins and Tails — undressed," are from creatures of the Land. Yoti cannot fail to he aware that tho secret invasion of the United States Treasury Department and the U8P of the fijjures ohtained hy tho corruption of a subordinate oflScer of that Department for nefarious ptiiposoH against the interests of the United States, may reasonably give rise to such just and unanswer- able rettiliatovy measures as may greatly impair the interests of investore in Canadian Securities of all kinds and in Canadian monetary institutions. To receive the Report of Mr. Miall on the Canadian Pacific Railway accounts involving such vast sumr, looks like an illegal and dishonourable hurried effort to secure Canadian State aid under atrocious circumstunccs, in order to escape with the proceeds before the time for the penalty of the Fishery Frauds arrives in July of next year. You possess and have long possessed every facility for knowing that what I state in relation to Mr. Minll and the black work in wliich he has been engaged, based largely upon the foul figures your associate, Sir John Rose, assisted in originating, cannot be refuted, but that it can be vastly enlarged and the other half of the secret exposed to the light. ' You have long been able to reflect on the treacherous introduction of the same foul figures into the Records of the Covernnient of the Ignited States, secretly, basely, and treasonable against the interests of our friendly and powerful neighbour. By your action of the 7th Nov., 1883, Joes not the Puink of Montreal by accepting the Trusteeship for the shareholders of the C. P. R., some of your governing officers and shareholders being officialpro- inoters of the preparation and use of the "Fire-brick and Clay Series," and knowing the secret of the Fish- ery PVaud;?, with E. Miall's complicity in felonious acts, become an accomplice in nefarious transactions vastly injurious to the State and tc many individuals, but greatly profitable to those officers and share- holders of the Bank of Montre il who are cognizant of, or participators in, tho Frauds "i Is it not also com- pounding of felony to seek or accejit Miall's aid again as a referee in a vast financial matter in which your Institution is so largely interested ? Think of Mr. Peter Mitchell, M. P. Suppose that Miall sliouhl be put in the Witney's box and cross-examined, is it not horrible to reflect on the disclosures wh'eh would come out, and which, in the interest*! of Canada must sooner or later come out. Therefore, on you and your .issociates will re.st much of the reiponsibility for past immorality and fu- ture calamities. To lessen these 1 urge your immediate action in relation to the matter of this communi- cation. For the want of ])rincii)le involved in the employment of a known manipulator of forged figures and statements, ajid a known accessory to perjury in n^lation tu the same subject, to report on vast finan- »;ial details as a guide to the State in a matter in which you and implic-.ted pjirties are concerned, is utter- ly op]iosed to law ami honest dealing ; while consciously to receive and w.fcupon a report on such a subject from such an agent and yirofit by it, implies disastrous complicity. You must be aware that further serious exposures in connection with the same matter have to take place in the interests of Justice ;ind of Canada, of our territorial rights, of the education of our people, of the maintenance of law, and of the due acknowledgement of the Providence of God. There can >)e no doubt that delay in your action may lead to cruel and distressing embarrassment to the shareholders in the Institution you and your associates, implicated or otherwise, appear ruthlessly and viciously to control. It is most dastardly and heartless diplomacy to allow trusting families, widows and orphans to sleep in fancied security, while guilty schemers are prejiaring the way to escape with the ill-gotten gains of their villainy. I enclose printed copies of my published letters to Earl (Jranville and the Lord Mayor of London, dated London, March 21,st, 1882, London, April 29th, 1882, Nottingham, May 5th, 1882, with Sir Alex, Gait's reply, dated London, May 3rd, 1882. You will see how this glozing swindler temporarily e.scaped punishment, but the public have yet to learn the hidden half of the secret whtfth explains the reason why, and the further dread necessity which, at the dagger's point, compels the belief that "Fire-bricks and Clay" are Fish, and Linseed, Cocoanut or Palm Oils, are products of tho sea. It is a Rose-Galt-Tilley-Tupper faith, which once exploded, explodes them, saves Canada and hun- dreds of thousands from distre-ss. P>ut Mr. George Stephen, Mr. H. S. Northcote and others do not want this useful faith exploded, it would prevent millions of money from being divided among unprincipled men. \ Your obedient servant. HKNRY YOULE HIND, M. A.

SIR, — 1 beg to encloHe the accompanying letters tor your infornmtion and guidance, also to re- mind you of the warnings I sent to you in Dec. 1881. Your business manager, Mr. Northcote, will under' stand a good deal of the matter. You will find the United States figures fur 1873, as enumerated at the foot of each column in State- ment IV, page 8, in term.s of the "Fire-brick and Clay Series," fully given with denominations and des- tinations in the United States Commerce and Navigation Report for 187H, on the following pages : — Fish, Fresh and Cured, not of the American Fisheries — dutiable p. 311 Domestic Exports— Fish .. p. 218 to 220 Shell Fish p. 220 The figures showing alleged re-export.s on which the value of the Remission of duties was based by British Counsel at Halifax in 1877, is on page 311. As u business man you are aware that the perfect agreement or equivalency between United States and Canadian Exports and Imports 1 have pointed out, is commercially impossible without fraudulent col- lusion. The proved equivalency I have given you for the year 1873, will be .sufficient to demonstrate that aliens have successfully dared to tempt subordinate officers of your Government secretly to introduce into the sacred Records of your Country and against its interests, a manufactured Sei ios ; such Series purport- ing to i-epresent exported,products of the Sea, but being in reality made up from live Land items and one Marine item, all of which are recorded in apostate Canadian Records of Government in prior yeare. You will olwerve. First — That the parties (Sir Charles Tupper, &:c.,) under whose official supervision the secret introduction into the Records of both countries of misleading entries antagonistic to the interests of the United States took place, are those with whom you have and are associated in contracts of enormous magnitude. Second — That the use of the false figures thus secretly introduced into Canadian and United States Records, culminated in an award against your Government based in part upon an ai'gumerit founded upon data known to be false and of infamous origin, by Mr. E. Miall. Third — That the parties first named (Sir Charles Tupper, &c.,) have again appointed the same £. Miall to examine and Report on the accounts of your Company, and that his report has been accepted as the basis of enormous additional State aid to your Company. Fourth — That you are invited to engage in and are engaged in selling to the public bonds and shares in your Company based on these uontvactA and aids so obtained and weighted. You are therefore osslstiog, unconsciously no doubt, in making money on a disreputable ant) haxard- «us basis, and it is your office to induce othere to adopt the same course. Your business manager, Mr. Northcote, should knoyr that it is not honest or legal to be dealing in bonds practically based on, or connected with infamous Fraud, and that no United States or Briti.sh Court could be found to tolerate the disgraceful connected proceedings I have outlined in the letters herewith submitted and in the documents therein referred to. 1 shall send copies of these letters to the Secretary of the New York Stock Exchange and other com- xisreial bodies.

Alexander Mackenzie requesting him to move tor all communications and enclosures addressed by me to His Excellency the Governor-General in relation to the Fishery Frauds and other matters, but I observe with much regret that the papers announce the indif- ferent health of Mr. Mackenzie, and therefore I ask leave to request either of you to take this important &n4 necessary step as a preliminary to full and untrammelled parUain^ntary inquiry. t If I beg to ask your attention, in the intHresb) of your native or tuloptocl country to the aueompanyii)g coininuniciitiou and statomenta addrowsed to Sir Charles Tapper, M. P., &c. Wlien Mr. Miall's untecpdents were practically before the Senate and House of Commons in January, February and March, 1881, the mover of the notice tor papers on the subject then addressed me as sub- Joined : — [coPT.] House op Comhons, Ottawa, Jany. 5th, 1881. "My dear Sin,— I have a motion on paper now for the production of all correspondence between "youisc'lf and Govornor-Goneral wbicli will bring this matter before the House.

"Yours faithfully, "(Signed) Tecs. Kobertson." Y'lu know how shamefully that inquiry was burked, and that the infamous report of the facile agent, WhitchiM', on his own and his accomplices crimes was presented to the public under the auspices of Sir % ^ J. A. Miicdonald and his Government. As a consequence the country and certain people liavo ever since l>een driftiu).: towards a maelstrom. k) ^ Jn this rolatiun will you bo so good as to ask for raj letter to His Excellency the Governor-General, ^ dited March 28lli, 1881, and learn the position in which Sir Charles Tapper has placed the Btink of Mon- treal, through Mr. Smithers, Sir John IJose and others. In his foolish report Whitcher names Miall as the author of "Appendix — Memorandum concerning Art. XXI of the Treaty of Washington." It you will also bo so good as to turn to pages 218, 219, 220, 310, 31 1, &c., of the United States Official Annual Jjnport on Commerce and Navigation for the year 1873, by Dr. Edward Young, Chief of the lUireau of Statistics of 'he U. S., you will find the same figures with their denominations attached, I have given at tin* bottom of ei»ch column above 52 in Statement IV, page 8, of my accompanying printed letter to Sir Charles Tupper. All of these United States Figures are made up from the liose-Galt-Tilley-Tupper- and-.Mitcheil figures which i have named the "Fire-brick and Clay Series," in all cases descending to the live Canadian 1-aud items enuuierated, "Crude Oils" and the one Canadian Marine item, "Whale Oil." You know this perfect agreement is commercially impossible, and that the occurrence is the result of treacherous design and traitorous accomplishment against the interests of the United States. You may now know that the example I have given is one of very many similar villainies, and that the United States Public Kucords, formerly in charge of Dr. Edward Young, teem during many years with kindred rascali- ties against the interests of the United States, in unison with Canadian Kecords in favour of Canada. . 1 have pointed out to His Fvxcellency the Goveiuor-General that the l.^nitod States Government and the Public Press have done everything that comity requires in the matter, announcing a policy of patient waiting until we oppiirttnpiit of llio Socrotary of Stiito to im", and tVoni nio to tlio Scorolary of Stiito arc nil ini])ort:int.

They will then know that the men who can crouch in sileiua- bcniealh such repeated charges and |M'oofs, are sunk too low to be trusted in any form or with any thing. My oilicial position as a duly appointcnl Analyst of the l)ocuments of the Halifax FLsberies Commis- sion, warrants me in thus furtluu' pressing thi.i matter and, demanding open empiiry in the brazen face of past and continued unlawful and outrageous conduct 1 liave repeatedly |iointed out. Indeed it would bo a gross crime were 1 to cease for an instant in urging this necessary work in the best interests of my coun- • tiymen. The Americans appear to have done everything tliat comity ii-ijuires in tlie matter, for both in Con- gress and through the public press, the ])olicy of tranquil waiting for our action has again and again been itnnounced. The conspirators take advantage of this leniency. 1 beg of your Excellency to carefully notice "The details of the I'uited States Export** for 1873," in terms of the "Fire-brick and Clay Series," which details were practically pre]>ared by Dr. Edward Young for the British Agent, Mr. Holhery, in 1873. You will observe that Mr. Whitcher, as well as Mr. Peter Mitchell, M. P., acknowledge com]dicity in this work, as nu'Utioned in the footnote and elsewhere. I^t any Englishman attempt to realize his own feelings if he discovered such treacherous dealings with the sacred public documents of his own country in order to serve the purposes of a Foreigner. And Miall, who used these figures and ]jrepared them for sworn evidence, is selected by the very same men who fur- nished these ligures to report on other ligures as a basis for enormous State aid. Mr. li. S. Northcote, an original member of the Syndicate when the contract was made, assisted in using a. jiortion of the fal.^e figures (afterwards manipulated by Miall) at Washington, in 1871, against the interests of the United States. Mr. H. S. Northcote is .scarcely a fit man for Canadian State aid. An- other Mr. Morthcote, the business manager of J. S. Kennedy Ik Co., of New YorK, distributes the Bonds of the C. P. W. I further beg of your Excellency to notice the letter and paragraphs in which 1 refer to Mr. C. F. Smithers and Sir John Rose, respectively President of the Hank of Montreal and associate of the Ixjndou (.Jommittee. Mr. Smithers has long been one of the Trustees for the Rontlholders of the C. P. R. Sir J. Rose is a deeply imjilicfited party in the "Fire-brick and Clay Series." These gentlemen if they had any moral courage left, ought instantly to compel open inquiry in the interests of the Shareholders of the Bank of Montreal, and your Excellency will observe that known circumstances may soon remove Mr. Smithers and Sir John Rose from the protection of politics or polemics and bring them directly within the range of the law.
