Now that that tender was as low, if not much lower than any accepted by you, every business man acquainted with the trade will admit. The question of freight from Antwerp was of course an important one; but it does notappear to hays challenged any enquiry at your hands. You had 208. for freight to bring this tender up to the highest, ac- cepted by you. That was margin enough to have challenged enquiry. A letter in my possession from a leading shipping merchant, one whose name, if I was at liberty to give it, would be admitted by yourself as satisfactory authority, gives the following information on the subject of freight from Antwerp :â€"“ In reply to your note, I may inform you that Ant-‘ werp is a very favourable port at which ,to ship rails for Quebec or Montreal. There are very large imports of grain and petroleum at that port, and usually there is a superabundant supply of tenâ€" nage there, both sail and steamer, so much so that it is quite common for ves- sels to proceed to Wales or the coal ports on the north-east coast of England in search of a coal or iron freight. It is quite safe, therefore, to say that freight would have been as cheap from Antwerp as from Meddlesboro’ or Car- difi“. By steam rates ranged from 12s flo20s stg: per ton in 1874 and 1875, and I think 15s may be taken as a rate at which there would have been no diffi- culty in shipping rails from Antwerp to Quebec or Montreal in 1874 and 1875.” If that statement is correct, and I have no doubt of its correctness, then here was a tender, not for five thousand tons, but for three times that quantity, at 5s stg.’ less than the lowest tender accepted by you, which was not only not accepted be); you, but which you altogether ignor- e .

It was“ not accepted, and, as a result, the Coun- try lost the advantage which, the one tender sent from Antwerp shows, might have resulted from such a course. It was announced, however, as the policy of the Government, and had it been strictly adhered to, all that could have been said in relation to it was that it was hardly the wisest policy to secure the widest competition and as a consequence, the lowest price. It was not adhered to; and this brings me to your statement that all the rails “were obtained by open competition after a month’s adVertising for tenders.” ' It is true that the tender was not in accordance with the advertisement, which required that tenders should be sent in for rails “ delivered on the Wharf at Montrea .” And it is also true that you had already informed one party that no tenders which did not comply with this condition would be received. I find the following correspondence at page 3 of the printed return :â€" “ Philadelphia, October 23rd, 1874. ~ “ Dear Sir : In making tenders for ' Steel Rails.’ you require deliveries to be made at Montreal. “ Sir : In reply to the enquiry made in your communication of the 23rd inst., as to whether the Department would accept ten. den for steel rails delivered at Liverpool, England, &c., .l beg to inform you that no such tenders would be accepted_ In addi- tion to the places mentioned in the specifi- cations for delivery, the Department would have no objection to tenders for delivery on Georgian Bay, Lake Huron, or Duluth and Thunder Bay, Lake Superior. “ I write to ascertain if tenders would be received for rails to be delivered at Liver- pool, und all matter of freight and insur- ‘auce would then be in your hands; This course would bring out greater competition in the way of bids, thus reducing prices. “ Yours truly, (Signed) " PHILIP S. harry.

The correspondence brought down shows that you made a private arrangement for an additional quantity of rails, without tender, and in violation of the terms stated in Mr. Brnun’s letter to Mr. Philip S.

It was, therefore,l a private arrangement. It was an ; arrangement on terms as to delivery which the department had officially an- ‘nounccd, in answer to an inquiry from an intending contractor, would not be accepted. It was an arrangement made at 10s. a ton more than you had an offer to deliver for at Antwerp. It was necessary to obtain this additional quan- tity of rails, and upon that point I offer no opinion here, most people Will say that. it was worth while asking tenders for them. The Antwerp tender and the letter of Mr. Phillip S. Justice Were certainly suflicient to justify the belief that an advertisement asking for tenders for steel rails f. o. b. at Liverpool would have brought offers at a lower price than that at which you “purchase” them from “ the Montreal firm,” acting as \brokers for the Government. I think it will be admitted that these facts prove that special advantages were accorded to this firm as Cooper, Fair- man, & Co. which were not accorded to others or to the public generally, and that the well established principles of the contract system were violated to their advantage. But I have a couple of other illustrations, which, confirmatory as they are of my statements. prcsent a record without parallel in the past, I ‘ venture to say, in the dealings of any department with the public of this} country.

In April, 1875, you advertised for tenders for the transport of rails from Montreal to Forfi William or Duluth, and in relation to the'tenders sent in I find the following in the return brought down last session : Copy of a Report of a Committee of the Honourable the Privy Council, approved by his Excellency the Governor- General iii Council on the 30th of April, 1875. On a report dated 2'9lh of April, 1875', from the Honourable the Minister of Public Works, slating (hat proposals have been in- vited for the transport of 5,000 tons of steel rails and fastenings from Montreal to Fort William or Dululh for Lake Superior, during the season of 1875, the price to in- clude all cost of handling, piling, insurance, and charges at all points, and that the un- dermantioned tenders have been received, viz : ~ Per (on. 1.

Cooper, Fairman, & (10., agents, stated the differ- ence in price for delivering those rails in Montreal or Duluth and French River would be $5.60 per ton, exclusive of any harbour or wharfage dues at the ports named : Now, that was surely a proposal worth noticing. And yet, as in the case of the Antwerp tender, the acceptance of which would have made it impossible to make any contract with the principals of Messrs Cooper, Fairman & 00., the offer was not even designed the courtesy ofa (Slgned), “ I have, 630., F.

(Signed), W. A. Hmswomn, Clerk Privy Council. The plea upon which Mr. Samuel's tender was rejected in favor of parties who had not tendered at all, and who were permitted to make an ofi'er after the tenders were in and Opened, will certainly not be generally accepted. Mr. Samuel otfered as surety Messrs. 1). Butters 85 00., and in Montreal it is not necessary to say that that was surety enough for the performance ofa much larger contract than was involved in this tender. Moreover, you had just made arrangements with Messrs. Cooper, Fairman, dc Co. for the transport of rails from Liverpool all the way to British Columbia, without the formal- ity of a tender, and in spite of the fact that they were not shipowners. Why this differ- ent treatment in the two cases? Then again, when you decided to ignore not only the tender of Mr. Samuel. but all the Olller lPI‘A' ders as well. and make a private arrange- ment with parties who had not tendered, why did you not avail yourself of other offers that had been made? You say that “in the tender made in November last for the supply of steel rails, Messrs. Cooper, Fair- man, tit (30., agents, stated the difference in price for delivering these rails in Montreal or Duluth and French River would be $5.60 per ton,” and in consideration for their assuming certain cost of handling, you en- tered into a contract with them at $6.20,; twenty cents higher than the tcnder at Mt" ‘ Samuel. Now there were two other tenders ‘ sent in in November which mentioned a price at which the rails would be delivered at these points on Lake Superior. The first was embodied in the following letter:â€"-â€"- “Ottawa, Ont., November 14th, 1874. “ Dear Sir : Should the Government'prc- fer to have these rails delivered at the fol- 1 lowing points: Duluth, Fort William and ‘ Georgian Bay, instead of Montreal, we can deliver them at Duluth and Georgian Bay at $4 per ton additional, and at Fort Wil- liam at $4.75 additional, conditional as to the delivery at points named, that there be a sufficient depth of water for vessels to go thereto, and that the consignees are to un- load, Not knowing ii'it is the intention of the Governme’nt to insure the various ear- goes on the Lakes, we have notincluded the Lake insurance on the inland ireights, $4 and $4.75, which would be about 16 cents per ton. ‘ I have shown, from the return laid upon the table by you at the close of last session, that your statement that no steel rails, were purchased by you from any Montreal firm was, in the impression it conveyed, inaccur- atewthe arrangements for the British Col- umbia rails being to all intents and purposes a purchase from Messrs. Cooper, Fairmsn, dt 00., I have shown that your statement “ that all were obtained by open competi- tion after a month’s advertising,” was inac- curate, the January arrangements mention- ed being‘ a purchase without tender. I have shown that your statement “the lowest ten- ders being in all cases accepted ” was inac- curate, inasmuch as the lowest tender was in fact altogether ignored, and that the con- tracts for one half the whole quantity re- quxred. and double the quantity tendered for, was made with the parties represented by Cooper, Fairman, 55 Co., at, the highest price, with the exception ofâ€" one lot of 5,000 tons to Guest & Co., of any of the tenders accepted. and withent any effort on the part of the Department to induce thnse tendering at a lower price to furnish a larger quantity. And now I propose to deal with your last statement that no brother or relation of yours had “ any interest. di- rect or indirect, near or remote, in any of these contracts, or ever received, or has any claim to a cent of profit from one or any of them,“ which I think i shall have no diffi- culty in proving to haVe been equally inac- curate with your other statements. I quite agree with your contention at .Whitby in relation to your brother tendering for contracts from the Department of which you are head :â€"“ It is not that there would have been any harm if he had. In my speech at Montreal, at the dinner given to some of our friends, I declared, and I de- clare now, that the only point was whether tenders were fairly solicited, and if they were, my brother, or any other man’s bro- ther, had as good a right to tender as any any other man. (Hear Bear.) I justify, therefore, his right to have it if he chose.” There is no deubt about the fairness of this statement. _ Public men, occupying the position of Ministers of the Crown, make sacrifice enough for the public, if they are honest and unselfish in the performance of of their duty, without extending those sacri- fices to all their relations. But the public will agree with me in the opinion that, hav- ing regard to the disposition of this wicked world to suspect wrong-doing in public men, a Minister should be additionally careful to avoid even the appearance of evil, where a relative is concerned in any contract or ad- vantage to be bestowed by the Government. In this case the whole correspondence ‘ proves that every principle which should 1 govern the contract system was violated in' the interest of Messrs. Cooper, Fairman, & Co. In fact so much was the case that the 3 expression in the letter of the Mersey Steel and Iron Company to those gentlemen, “ suouw roux. FRIENDS place the order, with us you may rely upon us giving it our careful attention,” assumes a strange signi-‘ fiance, especially so when it is remembered‘ “ Your obedxeut servants, (Signed,) “ Pznxms, Ln’mas'mx, Pos'r & 00., " Agents of Guest & Co. And the second was in the tender of T. V. Allis, of New York, in which occurs this passage, “with the option of delivering at Duluth or Georgian Bay at $5 per ton addi-‘t tioual.” Now, here was one offer at $4.75, eighty-five cents less than that. of Cooper, Fairman, & 00., and another at $5, sixty cents less, and yet, both of these were ignored by you when, in violation at every principle of the contract system, you threw out all the tenders sent in, and made a private arrange- ment. with Cooper, Fairman, (h 00., on the flimsy excuse that Mr. E. Samuel was not a. steamboat owner. The” Merchants’ Lake and Steamship Line” have, I have been told, some owners in whom probably you felt suflicent interest to strengthen you in your determination to throw this additional profit in the way of Messrs Cooper, Fairmau, & Co.

Assuming that to have operated as a dis solution of the previous special partnership, it shows that your brother’s interest. lasted at least up to the 4th of May, 1875, and therefore continued during the entire period that the extraordinary proceedings exposed by the otliciat retnrn were going on. On his retirement he received his capital, in the form of promissory notes, payable ifI mistake not, at the Exchange Bank in this city. The taking of promissory notes, the first of them payable in January, 1876, may fairly be assumed as proof that it was not convenient for the firm to pay in cash. So that at the moment that you were stating that no brother or relation of yours had “ any interest, direct .'or indirect, near or remote, in any of these contracts,” your brother was the holder to the exrent of fif- teen thousand dollars of the promissory notes of the firm upon whom you had been bestowing the most. remarkable favouritism. the chances of these notes being met at maturity being increased by every additional commission earned by the firm as the re- sult of Government favours. I have thus, sir, fnlfilled the intention I had formed of dealing with the personal aspects of this question, arising out of your grossly offensive telegram to the Ministenial press; and I now confidently leave to the public the decision of the question, to whom most appropriately can be applied the coarse expression “deliberate falsehood " in con- nection with this now tamous steel rail u~ansactiom BEATTYPIANO As to the loss to the country, I assume from your Wetford speech that you have given that point up. It is really no longer debateable. The latest circulars give the prices of the best Bessemer steel rails at from £7 108. to £8. From a recent Amer- reican paper I find that contracts can be made for delivery during next season at £7. That is a loss, at the lowest calculation. of fifteen dollars a ion, or upon the fifty thousand tons. ofthree quarters of a million of dollars on purchase alone, to say nothing of the question of interest and the deterior- ation in the rails from non~usuage.
