 TINUED"). or the symbol V (meaning "END"), 
 whichever applies. 
 
 Maps, plates, charts, etc., may be filmed at 
 different reduction ratios. Those too large to be 
 entirely included in one exposure are filmed 
 beginning in the upper left hand corner, left to 
 right and top to bottom, as many frames as 
 required. The following diagrams illustrate the 
 method:

 numerous recent ollicial descri|itive accounts ol the geographical 
 and physical features of the Western Cuiintry they undertook to 
 describe ; also the gathered <leliris of alleged earlier records, palp- 
 ably false to a g.'ograpliical expevl, or even amaleiir. The Com-

 on uiiinterupledly for ten yeais respecting the climate of a iioition 
 of llie Weslrvn Cuuiitry Ihey desiu-ibed . also, a series ut manu- 
 ficlurcd tables, l;d;en from a Kar West newspaper and |uirpurting 
 to represent tie .iiiie thing. The Commiltee were ]iersiiaded to 
 reji'ct the tiuc ullicial accoiiiit of llieir own scientilic experts, touch- 
 ing their own country, and accept the misleailiiij,' and falsiticd 
 
 111 tlie "Coloiii.sl.s' Handbook" to .Manitolm and the Xorth-Weat a.s 
 lu the I'rovinces of Ontario, Quebec, Nova Scotia and New 
 liriiiMwick all combined. And this is how the (,'omiiiittco treat 
 the magnilicent I'ruvince of Ontario. The Committee say of 
 the climate of Ontario : — "The climate is much the same iia 
 ill .some other parts of the Dominion, but milder in the win- 
 ter llian in l,luebi.c." TIim is all. Now what is an emigrant, 
 seeking iiifoiiiialion. lo make out of this description of tliu 
 climate of Ontario ? His lirst ipie.stion would be, "What other 
 part.s of the Dominion I" And there ho would rest— unsatislied. 
 The injustice done to the oldi'r I'rovinces by the "Colonists' Hand- 
 book" is immense. These I'rovinces have always been an.vious and 
 able to alloicl every facility lo immigrants ; they have always ac- 
 cepted the worthy with open arms, and are anxious to receive 
 them still. This injustice has been accomplished by misleading 
 and iiutiiilliful eii'urts lo magnify and distort the attractions of 
 .Manitoba and the .North-West, and oliscure the vast resources and 
 claims of the oliler I'rovinces, who are loyally and gratefully di.s-

 I should havu much preferred to have been permitted the oppor- 
 tunity for revealing to your J.ordship in March last, certain mat- 
 tors outlined in that letter, partly for which purpose I went to Eng- 
 
 liind, as slated In my rom.nunlcMtJim In your Loidship, dated Lun-

 my letter of the and August, |HM|, hence my retieeuie on thismnt- 
 ter. I fear your l*)lilship has been gieatlv deceived in rehillou to 
 the wliule iiibjecl. It appeals tu be far more wide spreading than 
 I have eulisideieil it pruper tu describi'. A private repn Beiitation 
 of what had eume to niy knowledge was my llist duty, hut the op. 
 portunity for this being deided me by the countervailing iiilluence 
 of .Sir Alexander (lalt, iiutwithstauding a special journey to Eng- 
 land, a public and guarded luiirusautatiun becomes my next niaui- 
 fegt duly. 
 
 The circiimslAncei wliioli have placed the knowledge of the con- 
 spiiaey and the frauds within my reach, arose from my being the 
 paid otljcer of the (Juvernmeuts of (jreat Ihitain and thu I'nited 
 .States into whuse hands the ducuments uf both contestants reveal- 
 ing these frauils and this conspiricy werephiced fur analysis. There- 
 fore, the failure of my mission to Kiigland in this particular, phicoa 
 me under the obligation tu cuminunicate the infuruialion to tlio 
 Honourable the .Secretary of State of the I'uited States. This I 
 have dune under even date, and cupies of iny cuinniuuioation are 
 resjieclfiilly eiidoseil. 
 
 Your Luidship will ulwervii that 1 have furnished the f'nitod 
 .States .Secretary uf Stale with a brief and necessarily imiierfect 
 iUiistiatiuu of the conspiracy frauds in the I'liiteil Stales Keports 
 of ( 'umiiierce and Navigation ; such as 1 have olfeied, however, will 
 prubably sulllce to assure yuur Lordship of the necessity for an 
 upi'li and unreserved examination of the extent and bearing of the 
 allieil and syuchioiious Canadian falsilled exhibits and liecordu 
 of IJoveriiiieul, subiiiitied tu the Impi-rial I'lirliameul in the Uuc- 
 ordof the Halifax Kislieries ( 'uiiimisiuu. 
 
 On pages ;U and .'i'-i uf my h-ttcr to His (irace the Archbi.shop

 detail an illuslialiou uf the methud by which the euiispiralors at 
 Olt'iwa and Washingtun worked in cumiiiun, and presumed tu im- 
 pose, under powerful and venal one-sided iiillueiu'e, upon llio 
 representatives and peuple of two of the mosi eiilighleui'd and just 
 natiuiis uf the world, and llius undermined llie|lii'neliceiit luinciplo

 This coincidence is so romnrkable and iiuprobnblu that by it«elf 
 it siiggesls inanipulation of the fiyure,^, hut when it is added to

 uient between I'liited .Slates and Canadian F'ish Figures on a largo

 Whale and Fisu Oils. 
 
 Turniiif; to the coinparativotnbloonpagO'i27of the U.S. Monthly 
 Keports for \H"i, we tiud the "Whale or F'ish Oil" items forl873, 
 outrageously false in their roiircsentation of Canadian Imports from 
 the I'nited States, alleged to be taken from Canadian accounts. 
 The rniled States exports of "Whale or Fish Oil" to Canada are 
 correctly given. Hut the ci>! >; i'.<-r of this table has added to the 
 Canadian statement of WhaU auu F'ish Oils, "Oils in any way roc- 
 tilieil," "Oils crude" and "(.)il8 of all kinds crude," thus swelling 
 enormously the discrepancies in this comparative table. The sig- 
 niticauce of this misrepresentation lies in the fact that the artifices 
 employed to swell the disci-epanies in the statements made are pre- 
 cisely the same as those employed in the HEVEKSE direction in 
 the Canadian F^xhibits of the mtne and other yenrs submitted in 
 evidence at Halifax in 1877. The United States comparative 
 tablp w.is not Kiihiniitrd in r.vidonrn by the. Unitoi! State."., hut the 
 conclusions drawn from manufactured discrepanies in United 
 vStates Documents wore openly used on the British side under pe- 
 culiar and very noteworthy circumstances which may be presented 
 at the proper time.

 Use of the Fhauds. 
 
 You will find on page 1880 of those Documents tho figures taken 
 from tho U. S. Keport on Conmiorco ami Navigation for 1873. 
 These spurious figures are used as the basis of argumont against 
 the United St«t«s in relation to tho remission of duties. The item 
 mackerel |1 78,328, there given in the table at tho bottom of the 
 page, is also found at the foot of the column on page 311 of tho 
 U. 8. Commereo and Navigation Report for 1873. This column in- 
 volves the item : —

 misropreseutatious iu the United .Hitus Commoroe and Navigation

 tion on iMges 34 and 35 of the enclosure No. III. and in enclosure 
 No. IV. 
 
 CONCLUSION. 
 
 Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, Mackerel 85,894. 
 
 which ia also found in Table A. But reference to tlio Exports of 
 1873 in Table A, shows that this amount of ilutiable mackerel is 
 made up of : — 
 
 Exports of "Fish all others" to Nova Scotia and N. B., 84,553. 
 " " " to British Columbia, 1,338. 
 
 " Fish Pickled to " " 3. 
 
 $5,894. 
 
 Similarly, the coliriin on page 311 of the U. S. Commoroe and 
 Navigation Report for 1873 involves dutiable Herring, 85,204, 
 which forms part of the amount $81,775 in the quoted table on 
 page 1880 of the Doc. and Pro. of tho Halifax Conmiission. 
 
 But 86,204 is made up of the following items with which it is 
 grouped in table A of exports of 1873 :— 
 
 92,144 Fish, pickled, to Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. 
 2,614 Fish, smoked, to British Quiana. 
 338 Fish, ot? er cured, " " 
 
 108 Fish, fresh to Quebec, Ontario, *c. 
 
 85,204. 
 
 Again, the item "All other 8213,534" in tho tivblo given on 
 page 1880 of the Documents and Proceedings of the Halifax Com- 
 mission, is found by reference to page 311 of tho U. S. Commoroo 
 and Navigation Report for 1873 to involve tho item :— 
 
 "All other" Quebec, Ontario, &e., 817,929 
 
 This has already been shown to be made up of various otlior 
 compound fish items named in Table A. But Table A is spurious 
 from beginning to end, and the value of tho argument based upon 
 another table which involvea ita apuriom figaren will now be under- 
 stood. 
 
 It is clear that the entire table on page 311 of the U. 8. Com- 
 merce and Navigation Report for,1873 is wliolly unreliable, because 
 it involves the opurious items, seventeen in number, which are 
 found in Table A. These have been shown to possess the honest- 
 ly impossible commercial quality of being mutually intorchango- 
 able as regards their respective values in dollars, and yet represent- 
 ing Exports of different things to many separate countries. They 
 are consequently manufactured, and are not the result of legitimate 
 commercial operations, or l^cords. 
 
 SAnniNES AND Anchovies. 
 
 It will be noticei' that "Sardines and Anchovies, preserved in 
 oil or otherwiso," which form by far the largest item of the Foreign 
 Fish Exports of the United Stntes to any of the British American 
 poasesgions, according to the table on page 311 of the "Commerce 
 
 To cut a long subject short, the United States Fish and Fish Oil 
 Statistias of trade are very largely cooked and iiiisiepresentod for 
 the year 1873 (to which I confine myself at present) in United 
 States Ofticial Documents. 
 
 The artifices employed in the cooking process are similar to the 
 artifices adoptod in tho manufacture of the (;anadian spurious ICx- 
 hibita and Sfcitistical Stateiuents outlined in a communication to 
 the Right Honourable Eirl Oranvillo, dated August 2nd, 1881, ami 
 tho documents refeiTed to in that communicition. A copy of that 
 communication was duly transmitted by me to your prodeco.s8or,— 
 and a copy was officially transmitted by tho liiglit Honourable tho 
 Birl of Kimborley to tho Canadian Secretjiry of State, the receipt 
 of which was duly forwarded to me. (See enclosure No. \ .) 
 
 Tlie results of this ruciprociil cooking of the Public Documents 
 of both countries dovetail into one another, and irresistibly appear, 
 as used, to bo wholly destructive of the vantage ground which a 
 correct I'epresenUitiou would furnish the United States in a discus- 
 sion respecting the remission of duties and kindred subjects, under 
 the provisions of the Treaty of Washington. 
 
 Therefore, from these features alone, and quite irrespective of 
 further available evidence, a conviction of participation in conspir- 
 acy against tho interests of the United States, by certain of its own 
 officers is unavoidable. 
 
 Apart from the obligation under which I am now placed of a,l- 
 dressing you. Sir, wliich the failure of my lecent visit to Eiiglaml 
 has imposed upon mo, as specified in my letter to Eiirl Cirauville, 
 I have reason to know that tho urgent eff'orts which Iiavo been 
 made in certain (juarters to avoiil or defer full and open ini|uiry 
 into the Fishery Frauds, have been designed, not merely to screen 
 dishonourable dealing of atrocious character, but to shelter a slander 
 which may be powerfully revived and u.sed when the opportunity 
 for refuting it is jiast. Meanwhile this slander continues to be a 
 lever for personal gain and advancement, reg irdlesa of the iiiKmst*, 
 dignity and mutual good-feeling of the (Jovcrnmeuta and people of 
 the United States, the United Kingdom and the jieoplo of Canada. 
 
 And it becomes my special duty, jiossossiug knowledge of the 
 subject through unaided discovery, in tho just porfoiniauce of ap- 
 pointed work, and in tho exercise of opportunities for inquiry, 
 that I should not fail to use all proper methods to oppose the un- 
 scrupulous craft wiiich employs similar knowledge for corrupt pu> 
 poses, and much injiutice to uninstructed people. 
 
 I trust that you will not be led to consider that I am wanting in 
 respectful consideration or bearing if I venture to give publicity to 
 this communication, in consequence of the measures taken by the /J 
 Canadian Government, and the public interest of the subject. 
 
 I have the honour to be, 
 
 Your obedient servant,
