Sir WILFRID LAURIER moved:: That on Friday, instead of the time devoted to Private Bills being limited to one hour, under rule 25, the time be extended until the Private Bills order be exhausted or otherwise disposed of.


Mr. R. L. BORDEN.: Does this require notice, or has some arrangement been made? I do not understand it.


Wilfrid Laurier: It should be on the Order Paper. This matter was discussed and the understanding was arrived at on Tuesday last.


Mr. HENDERSON.: I think perhaps the reason that it is not on the Order Paper is that the notice says that the right hon. gentleman will move it on Friday.

Sir WILFRID LAtTRIER. No, on Thursday.


David Henderson: The notice, I think, says that it should be moved on Friday.


Wilfrid Laurier: No, I think not. If my hon. friend will look at the Votes and Proceedings, he will see it says Thursday.


Robert Laird Borden: Yes, it is on the Order Paper.

Before the transfer of the office took effect, the proposed postmaster refused to accept the position, and the actual postmaster notifying the inspector to take delivery of the equipment, no other course remained except to temporarily close the office, pending further inquiries which the inspector desires to make after a personal visit to the ditsrict. Apart from the alleged inconvenient site of the office, there were no complaints against the postmaster.

Mr. O. S. CROCKET (York, N.B.).: Mr. Speaker, before the adjournment of the debate last night, I was discussing the defence of the Minister of Public Works to the charges contained in the report of the
Royal Commission, that this company of which he was the head and front, had no records or no books of account, and to the further charges, that the government of which the Minister of Public Works was a member had illegally paid subsidies over to the New Brunswick Coal and Railway Company, and had also illegally endorsed the bonds of that company. I quoted several passages from the evidence with respect to the books and the records which were kept by the New Brunswick Coal and Railway Company, or rather with respect to the lack of those books, which I think fully bears out the statements and the reflections contained in that report. I desire to add one or two passages from the evidence in this connection. In the first place, I wish to quote from the evidence of Mr. J. J. F. Winslow, who succeeded the late G. W. Allen as secretary of the Coal and Railway Company. At page 41, Mr. Winslow was asked:
Q.	Was there a treasurer of the company?-A. I do not think there was. I kept track of the expenditure pretty well during the time I was secretary. I would not know about all the expenditures. What I did know t kept account of.
That is the answer of the secretary of the company.
At page 43:
Q. Had you anything to do with the transfer of the railway to the government?-A. I did not know anything about that.
Here we have the answer of the secretary of the New Brunswick Coal and Railway Company, who was supposed to have all the records and accounts, and he states he knew absolutely nothing about the transfer of the Central Railway to the Company.
At page 47, referring to the accounts which Mr. Winslow had made up after Mr. Allen's death from scattered data we have this evidence:
Q. You made up the account yourself?-A. Yes, in fact I made up a new account.
iQ. From whom did you receive vouchers?- A. I received 'Mr. Allen's own vouchers from what I found in the former secretary's office.
At Page 50:
Q. If I understand you right when you entered Mr. Allen's office you found no books of account being kept when you commenced to work for the railway?-A. No, sir.
There is the statement of the secretary after this company had been in business for three years that he found no books of account being kept.
Q. You went to work at that stage to make up an account?-A- Yes.
Q. You gathered all the data you could from Mr. Allen and the papers in his possession; how far did you go back in making that account?-A. I went back in the case of

the Peoples' Bank to the start, that was the *first of these items, Novemlter 22, 1901; they started to build the railway in October, 1901.
At Page 52:
Q.	All accounts you know of which were kept by the company for any other people, person or corporation?-A. When Mr. M'e-Avity became president he wanted to get things straightened out as they should have been., He got Mr. Sharpe and myself to make up the best sort of a statement we could out of what material we had.


Mr. SPROULE.: That is fine book keeping.


Oswald Smith Crocket: Then on page 55 Mr. Winslow says:
When we had any payment to make prior to my being secretary, money would be paid to Mr. Allen. He would get enough to pay Mr. Barnes on his running account and then pay into his private account and from that check out.
At Page 58:
*Q. Prom his private account and the funds of the company were in his private name in the bank?-A. He would make provision for *anything he knew was coming due by getting the money from the Peoples' Bank. It would be deposited to Mr. Allen's account.
Now Mr. Speaker, I ask the members of this House what they think of the financial business of this company amounting to over $900,000 being transacted upon such a basis as that. And yet the Minister of Public Works would endeavour to make the members of the House believe that there were adequate records and adequate data from which this commission could have arrived at the expenditure of every dollar of the money of the Company. The Minister of Public Works made reference to a statement made by Mr. Shannon, the auditor of the Intercolonial, who went down to investigate the affairs of this company in order to determine the question of the payment of the Federal subsidy.
At Page 476, of the volume entitled Orders in Council and Documents we have a report of Mr. Shannon, and I notice in it this statement:
After the contractors relinquished the work

That was of the 15 mile section from Chipman to Minto which they had undertaken to build for $117,000.
After the contractors relinquished the wo; k, the company requested them to go on and complete the work, and the company would pay the actual cost of the same. To ascertain therefore the actual cost, I requested that I should b9 furnished with all vouchers, cheques, &c., but this I found to be impossible.
That is the statement of Mr. Shannon, auditor of the Intercolonial Eailway, the Mr CROCKET.
same gentleman to whom the Minister of Public Works referred last night as having examined these accounts in detail. Furthermore with reference to the absence of records and books, I wish to quote from the evidence of Mr. G. N. Babbitt, Deputy Receiver General of the province of New Brunswick. There has been issued by the New Brunswick Coal and Railway Company, bonds to the amount of $450,000, all of which were guaranteed by the Provincial Secretary on behalf of his government. Mr. Babbitt was asked whether there was any registration or record of these bonds in his office at Fredericton, he being the deputy receiver general and the one who should have that record. On page 27 I find this evidence:
Q.	After this, did you or did you not yourself personally know that the government guaranteed any bonds which bad been issued by the company?-A. Yes, I knew there were orders passed to do it.
Q.	In the way of information in your office? -A. The bonds were not brought to the office and recorded.
Q.	Did you ever see the bonds yourself at all?-A. No, I never did.
Q. They never came near your office at all? -A. No.
Q. Personally you do not know to whom they were delivered or what became of them ? -A. No.
Q. You say that no registration was made of these bonds in your books?-A. Yes.
What do you think of that way of transacting business by the government of any province in this Dominion? Here was an issue of $450,000 bonds guaranteed by the province and no register or record kept of them in the government office at Fredericton. Furthermore on page 28:
Q. Had any coupons been paid by you as Deputy Receiver General in connection with the bonds which has been guaranteed?-A. Oh, yes.
Q. Have you any idea as to the amount of general coupons you paid?-A. Yes.
Q. About what	amount ?-A. The full
amount.
Q. What would that be?-A. About $18,000, $9,000 on the half year.
Q. They would be coupons on how many thousand dollars worth of bonds?-A. $450,000 at four per cent.
Q. That is the only way yon know the bonds had actually been issued, was by paying the interest coupon on them?-A. Yes, I might say that.
Q. Yvu said the first coupon-the first conpon was presented for payment in what year? Was all that issue of $450,000 out then?-A. The July coupon, 1905, due July 2, 1905.
So that the Deputy Receiver General actually had no knowledge of the issue of these guaranteed bonds until 1904 after the great bulk of them had been issued and disposed of and had no record of them at Fredericton. Further I want to refer to the evidence of
5781 MAY 6, 1909 5782	
the then provincial secretary, Mr. Tweedie, now governor of the province, upon the question of the accounts, page 524: Q As a matter of fact, did you ever look to see if they did keep accounts?-A Yes. Q You found they did not?-A. They did not keep them satisfactorily to me. I raised the devil with them. But he does not seem to have raised any books. We have the evidence of the Minister of Public Works himself upon this question at page 703: Q. Did you ever see an acoount-book of the company showing the moneys received or disbursed by the New Brunswick Coal and Railway Company?-A. No. That was the answer which the Minister of Public Works gave-the gentleman who made the speech yesterday. These hooks will probably be kept by Mr. Winslow, the treasurer of the company, or Mr. Allen, the secretary. Both these gentlemen unfortunately died before this investigation began. Q. I have the only book, so they say?-A. Who says? , , Q. Here is the book and the only book of account except what was kept at Norton, 1 think there are about half a dozen pages in it. I do not see any account at all of this there?-A. I cannot help that. Q. Notwithstanding that you were in the interests of the province, you and the provincial secretary, appointed to see that the provincial moneys were correctly accounted for and expended, you never took pains to see whether the company kept books or not?-A. Mr. Allen was a gentleman of high standing and Mr. Winslow was the treasurer. In view of the evidence I have quoted, hon. members ought to know pretty well what value to attach to a statement made by the Minister of Public Works. All this, I wish lion, members to bear in mind, despite this section ' 2 of the Act of 1901, which authorized the guaranteeing of these bonds. Section 6: The company shall keep such books and accounts as may from time to time be required by the Lieutenant Governor in Council, and such books and accounts shall at all times be open to the inspection of the Lieutenant Governor in Council or such person as he may appoint to inspect and audit the same. And all books and accounts shall be each half year audited by the expert accountant appointed by the Lieutenant Governor in Council, and the expense of such audit shall be borne by the company. Think of the record of evidence such as I have adduced this forenoon, in the face of a statutory provision of that kind. Then I ask hon. members if they take any stock in the statement made| by the Minister o1 Public Works yesterday afternoon that there was no justification for the reflections made upon him. I also dealt in part last evening	with the minister's defence to the charge that the government had illegally paid subsidies out of the treasury of New Brunswick and in contravention of the provisions of the Act. I pointed out that under the Act of 1882, there was a subsidy of $3,000 per mile for the line from Chipman to Gibson, a distance of 45 miles, and that the total subsidy was $135,000. Of that line only 15 miles have been built up to the present which, on the basis of $3,000 a mile, would make the maximum subsidy available $45,000. Prior to the appearance on the scene of the New Brunswick Coal and Railway Company, $13,000 of that subsidy had been paid on account of work done on that 15 miles. So that there was payable in subsidies to the New Brunswick Coal and Railway Company, on account of this 15 mile section, under the Act of 1882, but $32,000. Notwithstanding that the government of New Brunswick, on representations made to it by the Minister of Public Works (Mr. Pugsley), paid $57,000, or $25,000 for which there was no authority of any kind in law. I pointed out further that of that $25,000, $2,550 had been paid on orders which were held by the Minister of Public Works and by Mr. W. T. Whitehead, another member of the Liberal machine; in New Brunswick. These orders had been obtained a few days after the contract was entered into between the Central Railway and Mr. de Bertram in the year 1895. Mr. Pugsley obtained his order the very day after that contract was entered into-Mr. Pugsley and Mr. Skinner jointly. In order that there may be no misapprehension, I propose to put on the record these assignments because the Minister of Public Works referred yesterday afternoon to these statements of these assignments to him as something with reference to which there was some error. I shall have to crave the indulgence of the House to put these statements on record. At page 92 of vol. labelled 'orders in council relating to the Central Railway,' we have this document: St. John, October 9, 1895. To the Hon. James Mitchell, Provincial Secretary. Dear Sir,-I hereby request that you pay to ffm, Pugsley and Chas. Skinner, or their order, the sum of $7,500 out of part of the subsidy made payable to me under the agreement dated October 4, 1905, and made between the Central Railway and Her Majesty Queen Victoria, represented by the provincial secretary, and which agreement is for the building of a line from Chipman to the Newcastle coal fields, a distance of 15 miles, so soon as the same may fall due and as it may become payable. And for the purpose of securing such payment to the said Wm. Pugsley and Chas. Skinner, or their order, I hereby, in consideration of the sum of $1 to me paid by them, receipt of which I acknowledge, assign to 1 them, their executors, administrators or as-

signs, the said sum of $7,500, part of said subsidies aforesaid.



[Stage Direction]
That is the day after the contract was entered into, this assignment was made by Dr. de Bertram, who got the contract, to Pugs ley and Skinner. Then there was an order a little later in favour of W. T. Whitehead of which I have made mention. At page 97 we have this further communication:
St. John, New Brunswick,

To the Honourable
The Receiver General of New Brunswick, Sir,-Tou will please pay to the order of the Bank of New Brunswick the sum of $2,750 out of the first moneys which shall be coming to us from you as such receiver general, under the letter of order of Louis G. de Bertram, dated the 5th day of October, 1895, and filed with you on the 8th inst., said moneys being a portion of the subsidy to be paid by the provmce for and in respect of the extension ot the Central Railway from Chipman to the Newcastle coal fields.

Then there is a letter on page 98 to Mr. Babbitt:

[Stage Direction]
Then there is a letter on the following page from Mr. Babbitt to the manager of ^ew Brunswick in accordance with this instruction. At page 100 there is this further order to the Receiver General of New Brunswick:

The transfer hereby given to the said David O'Connell of the said sum of $2,000 is subject to a 'previous assignment heretofore made by us to the Bank of New Brunswick of $2,750.

[Stage Direction]
.	WM. PUGSLEY.
Then there is a letter from Mr. Pugsley to the deputy Receiver General asking him to send to Mr. David O'Connell a letter similar to the one he had sent the Bank of New Brunswick, so that the House will see that, as soon as this assignment was procured from de Bertram, the Hon. Mr. Pugsley at once pledged it and raised money, through the bank and from Mr. David O'Connell, who was a money lender in the city of St. John. At page 103 there is a further letter to the Deputy Receiver General as follows:
„	St. John, June 4, 1896.
G.	N. Babbitt, Esq.,
Deputy Receiver General,
Fredericton, N.B.
Dear Sir, Mr. Skinner and I have handed to Mr. Trueman, which he will forward to you, a further order against the subsidy coming to us re Central Railway for $550 Will you kindly send him a letter addressed to the bank, similar to. the one sent to Mr. O Connell. This comes next after the orders to the B.N.A., B.B.N.A., and Mr. Connell on file with you	
[Stage Direction]
Yours truly,

[Stage Direction]
So that there were outstanding against this assignment of $7,500 of the subsidy for Messrs. Pugsley and Skinner, orders to the amount of $5,300. Now, on May 28, 1896 an order in council was passed authorizing the payment of $8,000 of subsidy on account or work to the amount of $23,000 that had been done on that 15 mile section, and immediately we find further correspondence and directions from Mr. Pugsley. At page 105 will be found the following letter °
St. John, June 3, 1896. To the Receiver General of the province of New Brunswick.
You will please pay to the Bank of New Brunswick the sum of five hundred and fifty dollars out of the subsidy which will be payable by the province in respect of the extenSion of the Central Railway from Chipman to the Newcastle coal fields on account of the assignment to us by Louis G. de Bertram of $7,500 of said subsidy. This amount is to he a charge on the balance due us on said amount as per memo, below next after balance of $1,250 due said hank, $700 due Bank of British North America and $1,550 due David O'Connell.
Yours truly,

This is the further memo:

And another portion of the record, which is very suggestive, I think, in connection with the assignment of these subsidies to Messrs. Pugsley and Skinner, is a letter which will be found at page 192 of the book entitled 'Orders in Council and Documents.'

St. John, May 16, 1904.
G. N. Babbitt,
Deputy Receiver General,
Fredericton.
Dear Mr. Babbitt,-A note of the New Brunswick Coal and Railway Company of $14,106 came due to-day at the Bank of New Brunswick and I have given the bank a sight draft on you for the amount. Attached to the draft is a letter from Hon. Mr. Tweedie engaging to pay the bank the $14,000 on the 4th of April last, and the $106 is for the interest.
An order in council was passed for the payment, and I am sending^ a copy of Mr. Tweedie's letter to him to-night asking him to instruct you to pay the amount and likewise to pay an amount of $5,600 odd to David O'Connell.
Mark that, Mr. Speaker, a direction in the year 1904 to pay out of further subsidies provided by an order in council the sum of $5,600 to the same David O'Connell, who held Mr. Pugsley's order under the first assignment and who was Mr. Pugsley's creditor in that connection.
Now, hon. members who have followed the documents which I have read will see that these payments to the Bank of British North America, the Bank of New Brunswick and D. O'Connell were under the orders of Messrs. Pugsley and Skinner, totalling $2,250. The Bank of New Brunswick was paid $1,500, which left a balance of $1,275 referred to in Mr. Pugsley's memo.
D.	O'Connell was paid $450 on account of $2,000, which, left $1,550 due to Mr. O'Connell. There was a further payment of $300 to the Bank of British North America, presumably on the order of Mr. Trueman. Then, Mr. Whitehead was paid $300 on his order for $1,000. So that is the way in which the $8,000 was disposed of that was authorized by order in council of May, 1896.
Now, Mr. Speaker, in view of these facts the -order in council to which I referred last night, dated 12th April, 1902, which was after the Minister of Public Works (Mr. Pugsley) had re-entered the New Brunswick cabinet, becomes very interesting. That order in council, as I pointed out, provided that there should be deducted from the subsidies payable on account of the 15 mile section, not only $13,000 previously paid under the old contract, but a further sum of $8,000 to pay these very orders on account of which the Minister of Public Works (Mr. Pugsley) had already received $2,250, and Mr. Whitehead $300.
This cheque can be given to the Bank of Nova Scotia at Fredericton to-morrow if you get the Premier's authority for payment.. The exact amount is $5,630. These two accounts together will make less than $20,000 which is the sum which X assume the Premier will direct you to pay on subsidy account. This is pursuant to the statute passed at the last session, which authorized the payment on branch lines and is authorized by the engineer's report. He reports 7-7 miles completed, and there is grading for some distance further, and also the chief engineer of the company reports about a mile of additional rails ready to be laid upon the extension to another of the coal miles. You need not accept the draft until you hear from the Premier, and if it should be necessary to hold it over for a day or two, get the bank to so instruct its Fredericton agent.
Yours very truly,


WM. PUGSLEY.

And in that way the entire amount of the subsidies which were authorized for the construction of the branch lines was disposed of, ($20,000) and of that sum David O'Connell, money lender, of the city of St. John, received $5,600 under the direction of Wm. Pugsley. Now I think, in view of this record, the statement which the Minister of Public Works made, and the strictures he passed upon the commission for commenting upon this matter, will not carry very much weight, either in this House or with anybody who reads his speech, and who reads the record that I have adduced.
[Stage Direction]
Now, Mr. Speaker, with reference to the illegal guaranteeing of bonds. Last night I quoted the several Acts that were passed from the year 1901 to 1904 in relation to the guarantee of bonds of the New Brunswick Coal and Railway Company. 1 showed that under the Act of 1901 not one dollar of these bonds was entitled to be guaranteed until the whole line of 45 miles from Chipman to Gibson was completed and in operation. I showed furthermore that in 1902 a further Act was passed amending the Act of 1901, in this way, that the bonds might be guaranteed upon progress estimates, but always bearing in mind the cost of the completed work relative to the cost of the whole line; providing furthermore, that there should be retained out of the bonds of the company a sufficient amount to provide for a coal plant, which was valued at $50,000. So down to the year 1904, under these two Acts in relation to the issue of bonds on the Gibson-Chipmain section, the government only had authority at any time to guarantee a proportionate amount on this 15 mile sec tion. I showed furthermore that under this Act of 1902, an estimate which was made in January, 1903, by the engineer, Evans, of the relative cost of the two sections, the 15 mile section and the 30 mile section which is unconstructed, the 15 mile section being estimated at $130,000 and the uncoustructed section at $213,000, showed that the unconstructed portion of 30 miles of this railway was entitled to at least sixty-one per cent of the guarantee of these bonds, and that there was available for the constructed portion of the 15 miles less than thirty-nine per cent. Now working that out, it would be clear to anybody who cared to examine the record, that deducting, in the first place $50,000 to provide for bonds for the coal plant, which was never done away with, there was left for this whole section of 45 miles $200,000. Sixty-one per cent of that amount would give $122,000 to the 30 mile section, and $78,000 to the 15 mile section, and that allows for the increased estimate of the cost per mile of the 15 mile section over the cost of the construction of the 30 mile section. So there was left $78,000. Now from that $78,000 should be deducted an amount of $40,000 which the provincial government by order in council guaranteed to pay to the Dominion government for rails supplied by the Intercolonial to the contractors for use on the 15 mile section, amounting to $40,000. That order in council specifically provided that the company should deposit with the Receiver General bonds covering the purchase price of those rails, $40,000, and that order in council had never been altered, and has never been altered down to this date. So if you take $40,000 from the $78,000, the govern-Mr. CROCKET.
ment could legally guarantee only $38,000 bonds in respect of the 15 mile section. Notwithstanding that, the rails have never been paid for, the government in New Brunswick owe the federal government for those rails to-day, the coal plant has never been provided, and the whole amount of $250,000 has been guaranteed for the construction of 15 miles of this railway. And yet the Minister of Public Works criticised and attacked, and vehemently attacked, this Royal Commission for holding that he as a member of the government was responsible for the illegal guaranteeing of bonds of the New Brunswick Goal and Railway Company.
Now, Sir, the Minister of Public Works produced a statement which he said he addressed to the late Mr. Shadbolt, manager of the Royal Trust Company in St. John, on the 6th of August, 1903, in reference to the distribution of certain bonds which the company had. In 1903, after these Acts were passed to which I have alluded^ there was a further Act passed authorizing, in addition to the guaranteeing of $250,000 for the construction of the Gibson-Chipman line, a further guaranteeing of bonds to the amount of $200,000 for the purchase of the Central Railway from Norton to Chipman, $180,000 of which was said to be for the purchase of the road, and $20,000 to recoup the company for improvements they had put upon it. I will quote a section from the Act of 1903, this is the proviso:
Provided however that before guaranteeing the said bonds hereby authorized to the amount of $200,000 in respect to the said Central Railway, it shall be made to appear to the Lieutenant Governor in Council that a clear title has been obtained by the said, The New Brunswick Coal and Railway Company, to the said Central Railway, and that the bonds so to be guaranteed, together with the said bonds to the amount of $250,000 authorized by said Act 1 Edward VII, chapter 12? are secured by a first mortgage upon the said whole line of railway from Norton to Gibson.
Before such bonds in this section provided for shall be so guaranteed hereunder, all bonds of the said, The New Brunswick Coal and Railway Company, which are secured by mortgage to the Royal Trust Company of Montreal, shall be cancelled and a new first mortgage to secure the whole issue of $450,000 to the satisfaction of the Lieutenant Governor in Council shall be executed covering the said whole line from Norton to Gibson.
2. The rate of interest upon the said bonds so to be issued under this section shall not exceed four per cent per annum.
The rate of interest provided on the $250,000 bonds for the Chipman-Gibson line was three per cent. This Act provided for a new issue covering a loan of $450,000 and for the substitution of four per cent bonds for the three per cent bonds that had been previously issued. Bearing that sec-

tion in mind, I wish to draw the attention of the House to a statement to which the Minister of Public Works referred yesterday afternoon. This statement will be found at page 518 of the documents relating to the New Brunswick Coal and Railway Company:
Bank of Montreal, St. John, New Brunswick,
Memorandum for E. M. Shadbolt, Esq., agent
_ Royal Trust Company at St. John.
You will please deliver the bonds of the New Brunswick Coal and Railway Company guaranteed by the province, as follows:
To Bank of Montreal, 140 bonds.. ..$ 70,000 To the Bank of British North America
40 bonds	 20,000
To the Bank of New Brunswick, 54
bonds	 27,000
To the Bank of New Brunswick, for Peoples' Bank of New Brunswick,
140 bonds	 70,000
To Arthur I.: Trueman, solicitor of
company, 171 bonds	 85,500
To Bank of New Brunswick, in addition to above, 132 bonds	 66,000

(Sgd.) WM. PUGSLEY,
Attorney General.
August 6, 1903.


The Arthur I.: Trueman referred to here was the solicitor of the company and the partner of the Minister of Public Works. That statement bears date the 6th of August, 1903. So that, over the signature of the Minister of Public Works we have the evidence that there were issued and guaranteed at that time $338,500 of these bonds. By the Act of 1903 that I have already quoted, the government could not guarantee any bonds for the purchase of the Central Railway * until the title was completed and vested in the government. The deed of conveyance to the coal company bears date the 21st of August, 1903. So that, even in respect to the further issue of $200,000 which, the Minister of Public Works states, is included in the $338,500, there was an illegal guarantee of bonds. But, take the minister's own statement, give him the $200,000 as having been issued, admit that the whole issue of $200,000 was exhausted on account of the pur-[DOT] chase of the Central Railway, and we have $138,000 of bonds which were issued and guaranteed to that date, the 6th of August, on account of the fifteen-mile section. That, Mr. Speaker, is just exactly what the commissioners say in their report, a statement which the Minister of Public Works has characterized as being absolutely false.
Furthermore, there is another memorandum in addition to the memorandum that I have already read, at page 519, to this effect:
Bank of Montreal, St. John, New Brunswick.


MEMORANDUM FOR BONDS SIGNED AND DELIVERED LATER.
[Stage Direction]
That is later than the 6th August.
November 6, delivered to Arthur I.
Trueman, 40 bonds	$ 20,000
November 16, delivered to Dr. Pugsley, 40 bonds	 20,000
December 23, delivered to Arthur I.
Trueman, 30 bonds	 15,000
January 20, delivered to Dr. Pugsley,
8 bonds	 4,000
January 29, delivered to Dr. Pugsley,
105 bonds	 52,500
Now, that exhausted the whole issue of $450,000 of bonds. Every one of these bonds was guaranteed, with the exception of the last $52,000, before the Act of 1904 was passed which authorized the guarantee without respect to mileage. That Act was passed on the 18th day of April, 1904-that very suspicious Act which I submitted to the attention of the House last night, an Act which related to another railway entirely distinct from the New Brunswick Coal and Railway Company, but which, in its last section, which scarcely any lawyer and certainly no layman in any legislature would understand, and passed on the last day of the session, provided that the bonds of the New Brunswick Coal and Railway Company could be guaranteed without respect to mileage.
Robert Laird Borden: That is to say without regard to the cost of the work?


Oswald Smith Crocket: Yes, without regard to the cost. But it is a fact and it appeared from the record that every one of these bonds was guaranteed by the government excepting the last $52,500 before the passing of the Act of 1904 on the 18th day of April. The section which authorized the guaranteeing of bonds irrespective of the mileage reads as follows:
If, by reason of the work on any section of said line of railway being or having been found to be more than ordinarily expensive, it is found necessary so to do, _ the provincial secretary, by and with the direction and authority of the Lieutenant Governor in Council, may endorse such guarantee on the bonds required to complete such section and to provide rolling stock therefor, although the amount of such guarantee may be greater than the mileage completed bears to the whole mileage of the line.
I would submit that there is no court in this country which would hold that, even in the face of that section as it exists on the statute book to-day, the government were authorized to exhaust the whole issue of $450,000 or the $250,000 with respect to ' the Gibson-Chipman section. How can it

be so contended, in view of these last words, 'although the amount of such guarantee, may be greater than the mileage completed bears to the whole mileage of the line'? That provision must be read with reference to the former legislation which provided, in the first place, that there should be no guaranteeing until the whole line was completed and as modified by the Act of the following session which provided for progress estimates upon a pro rata basis. But, I say that even to-day, with the law as it stands on the statute book, the exhausting of the entire issue of $250,000 was a distinct violation of the statute which the Minister of Public Works or no other lawyer in this country can justify for one moment. I want, in reference to the minister's statement as to the guaranteeing of the bonds and the incorrectness of the commissioners' finding, to refer to the evidence of Mr. Shadbolt at page 267. Mr. Shadbolt, as I have said, was the manager of the Royal Trust Company, the institution which was looking after the substitution and exchange of the three per cent bonds for the four per cent bonds. His evidence is as follows:
I think the whole issue was guaranteed by the government, that is my understanding of it.
There is the statement of Mr. Shadbolt who was the custodian of all of the $250,000 of bonds that it was his understanding that the whole issue had been guaranteed on the 6th day of August, and that, Mr Speaker, is the statement which the com-mision have put in the report and which the Minister of Public Works has stated was false.
Q. A guarantee was placed on the bonds?- A. Yes.
That is Mr. Shadbolt's evidence conclusively that the guarantee of the province was placed on all those bonds on the 6th of August, 1903. Then, an interesting question arises with regard to the disposition and the use which was made of these bonds. In that connection I wish to put before the House the evidence of the Minister of Public Works himself, when he was on the stand before this commission in the month of December last. At page 720 of the evidence, I quote the Minister of Public Works:
Q. On the 6th of August I see a letter by you to the bank of Montreal in which you say you will please deliver the bonds of the New Brunswick Coal and Railway Company guaranteed by the province as follows, to the bank of Montreal $70,000, to the bank of New Brunswick $20,000, to the bank of New Brunswick $20,000, to the People's bank of New Brunswick $70,000, to the bank of New Brunswick $66,000, A. I. Trueman $85,000. Can you tell us have you any record as to what these bonds were given to the bank of Montreal for?-A.


Oswald Smith Crocket: Q. Does that tell what became of the money which came from the bank?-A. It would tell you that the money went to the company. Then I presume Mr. Allen, the secretary, or Mr. Winslow would have an account of it.
That presumption of the Minister of Public Works is quite erroneous for neither had an account of it.
Q. Mr. Allen and Mr. Winslow have both passed over to the great majority?-A. Yes.
Q. To come to the next one, 23rd December, I see where Mr. Trueman got $15,000 of bonds, do you know what was done with them?-A. On my order?
Q. Yes.-A. They were for the purposes of the company.
Q. What was done with them?-A. I cannot tell you now from memory.
Q. You have no record to show?-A. Tell mo the numbers of the bonds and I have no doubt I can go to the bank and see the records.
Q. That would .not show the disposition made of the money?-A. It would show whether these bonds were used as collateral.
Q. Only to what loan put up as collateral, not to how applied?-A. It would not show what Mr. Allen, the secretary, did with the money, but it would be traced to the hands of the company.
Q. The ultimate destination you do not know?-A. I could not be supposed to tell you from memory.
That is the kind of evidence which the Minister of Public Works, the gentleman who negotiated these bonds and the loans on the securities of these bonds, gave to the commission in December last. I ask hon. members to bear that evidence in mind and contrast it with the statement which the minister made here yesterday.
There is another feature commented on in this report, and which I think deserves the attention of the House, and that is the misleading character of the reports which were made to the Lieutenant Governor in Council, on which reports these orders in council were issued for the endorsement of the bonds. The Minister of Public Works complained very vehemently of the reference which is made to the, report that was signed by Mt. Evans, the engineer of the company, on the 2nd of January, 1903, and he read that report in an attempt to show that the commission were wrong in _ their reflections respecting him. The commission referred to only one of these reports. The evidence, however, gives three just such reports as the minister quoted last night, including the one he quoted. The first is dated April 2, 1902, page 143 of the documents. That report states that work had been done under the contract to the extent of $20,029.25. That is all the work the report showed had been done, but there was an attempt made to show expenditures for the purpose of	rolling stock _ and
the payment on account of the option for the purchase of the Norton-Chipman branch, which had no right however to


Oswald Smith Crocket: figure in the estimate of cost for the purpose of issuing the subsidy moneys on the fifteen-mile section. That is what the commission, I suppose, alluded to. There are two or three pages of that report having reference to this and other matters having no relation to the question of issuing subsidies. The only amount that did not come under the Act was the money expended on that particular section, $20,229.25. Yet upon that report, prepared by the Minister of Public Works, an order in council issued authorizing the guarantee of $60,000 of bonds on $20,000 of work.
There is another dated the 1st of September, 1902, on page 148. That proceeded, on the same line as the first with respect to the expenditure on the Norton and Chip-man Railway, and sets out that the work down to that time amounted to $67,634, and upon that report an order in council was issued authorizing the guarantee of bonds to the extent of $120,000.
On January 2, 1903, and that is the report of the Minister of Public Works I have referred to, there was a statement of work only to the value of $74,574, and on that the recommendation was made that bonds should be issued to the extent of $140,000.
From the report of September, 1902, to the report of January, 1903, there had been less than $17,000 of work performed between these dates, yet there is a report recommending an increase on the bond issue to the extent of $20,000.
These reports the commission characterizes as misleading, and no one can read them without coming to the conclusion that they were made for the purpose of procuring an issue of bonds against the spirit and letter of the Act. So that the Minister of Public Works is as far astray in this as in almost every statement he made in connection with these matters.
Now, I come to what I consider the most grievous accusation contained in this report, the one to which there can be absolutely no reply, and in respect to which I say it is a disgrace that any one guilty of the conduct therein charged should remain in the government of Canada in control of its greatest spending department. I refer to the statement regarding the misappropriation of $39,000 in respect of the purchase of the Central Railway, and I am going to read what the commission say with reference to that. It will be found on page 51 of their report.
Mr. Evans stated the small ledger was all he had seen out of the wreck in the way of books, and the others must be at Hampton showing expenditures. These, however, could not be found.
He swore that the above $146,409.03 was all he ever got under his agreement with the New Brunswick Coal and Railway Company to pay him $180,000. What became of the balance, in

round numbers $39,000, he could net tell and would not even attempt to surmise. He made several earnest attempts to get this balance which he thought was due him, but was told he did not give a complete title, &c., and getting tired out after a time, he accepted the last payments as a settlement.
It was stated in the House of Assembly the full $180,000 was paid for the Central Railway.
This statement was made with the full knowledge that some $39,000 of the $180,000 had not been paid and was not to be paid. It was known besides that Mr. Sharpe had preparod under instructions, a statement that the full amount of $180,000 had been paid, and such statement was allowed by the government to be put on file at Fredericton without correction. In an order in council dated July 12, 1904, prepared, we believe, by the Hon. Mr. Pugsley, it was declared that this $180,000 had been paid for the railway from Norton to Chipman. These statements were made although Mr. Pugsley had participated in the negotiations with Mr. Evans by which the amount, about $39,000, was abandoned, and we cannot conceive how such a fact could "have been forgotten by Mr. Pugsley.
I ask you if any more serious accusation could be made against any public man than that contained in the quotation I have read. It charges misappropriation of Public Works participated in the negotiations in this connection, that he had the full knowledge of the facts; and although the commission does not say that the misleading statement in the legislature was made by Mr. Pugsley, I will prove from the record that it was. Let me say that, from my reading of the evidence, if the commission have erred at all in this case, it has been on the side of leniency. There are many matters in that report upon which they could have framed a strogner indictment than they have done. The commissioners do not mention Mr. Pugsley as having made that statement, but I shall show that he did make it, and made it twice. Not only did he do that, but, as a member of the government, he allowed to be placed on file a statement prepared by Mr. Sharpe, under instructions, in which that false allegation appears. I have already read the evidence of Mr. Pugsley himself in which he, said that he gave the data and papers to Mr. Sharpe, and I can give a further quotation in which he admits that he himself instructed Mr. Sharpe with regard to the preparation of that statement. Furthermore in an order in council, drawn up by the Minister of Public Works, when he was attorney general of New Brunswick, I find that false and fraudulent statement, and of course it was made with his knowledge. Can there be any more serious charge presented against any public man? It is completely confirmed by the evidence. Mr. Evans had been manager of the Central Railway from Norton to Chipman a number of years. The stock in that railway was held by
Clarke and Company and Drexel and Company, bankers of Philadelphia. They held 6,3654 shares of the total capital stock and in addition $545,000 worth of bonds. The road was losing money very rapidly and in the spring of 1900 the owners came to the conclusion to cease operating, Mr. Evans, who had been managing the road for them, obtained an option from Clarke and Company and Drexel and Company for the whole road, 45 miles, rolling stock, franchise, &c., and in addition another railway known as the St. Martin and Upham Railway, for $50,000. Then the New Brunswick Coal and Railway Company was shortly after organized. Whether it was organized in connection with this scheme is not made clear, but there is much in the evidence to justify the conclusion that this fact was known at the time of the incorporation of that company and that it was part of the scheme. However, after a time the New Brunswick company obtained from Mr. Evans, who had this option on the two railways for $50,000, an option on the Central line for $180,000. That option was obtained on the 28th of August, 1901, and it provided for the payment by the New Brunswick Company of $180,000 in the following manner: $15,000 in one month from date, which would be due on the 1st October; $15,000 in five months from date; $15,000 in 12 months from date; and $15.000 in 15 months from date, and the balance, $120,000 in two years. That was the agreement entered into between Evans and Elkins and the coal company. Mr. Evans stated that after a time that agreement was modified and it resulted in an agreement being entered into by which Evans and Elkins were to pay a large amount for improvements and betterment, amounting 1 think to $50,000. But the upshot of the whole thing was that, after a number of payments had been made, this amount of $39,000 was abandoned. Mr. Evans, as stated in the report did not receive $180, 000, or within $38,000 of that sum I will quote from the evidence, so that there will be no mistake:
In addition to that the company was to assume the management of the road and operate it, and as soon as_ the other fifteen miles was completed and in running order? -A. Yes.
Q. They had to bear all the expense of maintenance of way while they were so operating?-A. Yes.
Q. I find no provision that you, in the meantime, were to lay out and make any expenditures on the road, you and Mr. Elkins, capital expenditures?-A. That is correct, there was nothing in the agreement.
Q. That is the only agreement you had, including all the terms of the agreement between you?-A. I want to say, that there was an understanding that I should put the road

in shape, between me and the company, there was a sum mentioned, I think, but it was a moral obligation on my part to put the road in as good shape as I could.
Q. There was a sum mentioned between you and the Coal and Railway Company, which would be the amount of expenditure you were to make on the road?-A. Yes.
Q. Do you remember what the amount was? -A. 1 think it was about $50,000.
Q. That was not in writing?-A. No, it was an understanding I had.
Q. A loose understanding, not put in writing?-A. Yes.
Q. Dp to this time a considerable portion of this $50,000 had been expended in August, 1901?-A. That $50,000 was to extend over and include the indebtedness on the road; I had to assume the indebtedness existing on the road when Clarke & Co. gave us their option.
So that, perhaps, I should correct the statement. The understanding was not subsequent, as I stated, but seems to have been collateral with the original agreement that Evans and Elkins should make these expenditures on the road, although it was not put in writing. Then, at page 368:
Q. You paid the expenses on the road after you had given the option to the New Brunswiok Coal and Railway Company?-A. Yes.
Q. From recollection can you say what the amount of those expenditures were?-A. The total expenditures up to the time the New Brunswick Coal and Railway Company took it over was somewhere about $77,000.
Then, at page 369:
A. The New Brunswick Coal and Railway Company took it over the 1st of August, 1902, I think.
And on the same page:
A. I was financed by myself personally, by Mr. Elkins personally, and by the two of us jointly and by moneys we received from the New Brunswick Coal and Railway Company, from time to time.
Tiien, at the following page, which appears here as 520, not 320, apparently a typewriting error:
Q. Are you able to give, us the moneys you actually received from the New Brunswiok Coal and Railway Company?-A. I can, using
the books.
Q. With the aid of this book, can you give us the moneys you actually received from the New Brunswick Coal and Railway Company? -A. Yes.
Q. And the dates at which they were received?-A. I take it for granted that the dates are the dates they were received.
Q. You can, from this book, tell us the moneys you got from the New Brunswick Coal and Railway Company?-A. Yes, up to that time.
Q. Call out the moneys you actually did receive. (Witness refers to book and gives the following figures):-

Q. Since that date, have you received anything since June, 1904 r^A. There was $.37750 and $5,000. I am not getting that out of the book.


Mr. MACDOUGALL.: Have you the dates for that?-A. No, I am just giving this out of memory.


Mr. POWELL.: That makes a total of $83,519.06. Take the first amount, $12,500, I see a statement in the recital in an order of council that $15,000 had been paid you at that time, what about that?-A. I only received that amount.
Q. Did the cheque drawn for $15,000 come to you, do you know?-A. No, I don't know whether it was cheque or in cash. But if it were a cheque it would be for that amount, $12,500.
Q. At any rate that is all you got?-A. Yes.
Q. Did you give a receipt for $15,000?-A. I don't know, sometimes a receipt was given and sometimes not. If I gave a receipt it was for $12,500.
Q. I see also there is an entry of an amount you had received, another $15,000, that is stated in an order in council, is that correct, second payment?-A. The second payment was $9,500.
Q. You find these books to be correct?-A. I do.
Q. The second payment of $15,000 would be due under the terms of the option, it was not paid to you at that time?-A. No.
The order in council stated that he had been paid $15,000.
Q. I see that by the records you are credited by Mr. Shadbolt, who was acting for the Royal Trust Company, acting as agent for Drexel & Company, with a payment of $55,800, I think?-A. The option was for $50,000. I borrowed $5,000 from them, I was in need of money and borrowed that from them.
Q. Do you remember that that $55,000 was paid by you to the Royal Trust Company for Clarke and Drexel?-A. Yes.
Q. And some interest?-A. Yes, I think it was $800.
Q. Paid in settlement of the option you held from Clarke and Company and Drexell and
Company?-A. Yes.
Q. You then received from them on that payment, from the Royal Trust Compnay, the stock that you had the option for, and the bonds you had the option for in connection with the Central Railway?-A. I presume they were turned over to the New Brunswick Coal and Railway Company.
Then, at page 574:
Q. How much cash did you get from the Coal and Railway Company in connection with the sale to them of the Central Railway Company?-A. $74,769.06 and $3,750 and $5,000.
Q. Altogether the cash received by you from

the Coal and Railway Company was $83,519.06? -A. Yes.
Q. In connection with the sale to the company of the Central Railway Company?-A. To the New Brunswick Coal and Railway Company, yes.
Q. You told me that, in addition to that, there was an amount that was paid in to Clarke and Company and Drexell and Company in satisfaction of your option of $55,-000?-A. Yes.
Q. That made a total of cash?-A. $139,319.06.
Q. That is correct?-A. Yes.
There is the statement of Mr. Evans that the total sum paid to him under the agreement with the Coal and Railway Company was $139,319.06, and that statement was never controverted by any witness who was examined before the commission, and indeed, it was known to Hon. Mr. Pugsley himself, as I will show by quoting from Mr. Pugsley's own evidence.
Q. In addition to that, did you either, as cash or in any other consideration receive from the company anything on account of the sale?-A. Yes.
Q. What are the two items and dates (refers to book) ?-A. June, 1904, $1,089.97.
Q. That was an amount incurred as a liability to the Intercolonial Railway when you left? -A. Yes.
Q. One amount is Intercolonial Railway, $1,089.97?-A. Yes.
Q. What is the other amount?-A. Vouchers, $1,570.85 in June, 1904.
Q. Explain this item, Intercolonial Railway? -A. It was a matter of indebtedness to the Intercolonial from the Central Railway, a matter of the Central Railway Company under the option due the Intercolonial Railway.
Q. That under the option you should have paid?-A. Yes.
Q. Now, then, this $1,570.85 is vouchers, explain that?-A. There would be sundry accounts.
Q. Incurred which had not been paid?-A. Yes.
Q. Which you, under the option, should have paid?-A. Yes.
Q. These two items you should have paid, amounting to $2,660.22?-A. Yes.
Q. So that, adding these two items

One of which was not paid for, Mr. Speaker.
-if the Coal and Railway Company has paid these two items, the total amount you have received in cash and otherwise from the company in connection with the sale of the Central Railway is $141,679.82?-A. Yes.
Q. Outside of that, did you receive, directly or indirectly, from the Coal and Railway Company, any money or other consideration in connection with the sale of the Central Railway?-A. No; I take it for granted that these figures are correct.
Q. Then, as I understand it, there is a balance of $38,028.12 in connection with the sale of the Central Railway to the New Brunswick Coal and Railway Company, which you have never received?-A. Yes.
Q. The last payment you received was in June, 1904?-A. Yes, according to the book.
At one o'clock the House took recess.
House resumed at three o'clock.


Oswald Smith Crocket: Mr. Speaker, at one o'clock I was quoting from the evidence of E. G. Evans in regard to the amount that was paid for the Central Railway from Norton to Chipman, and I desire to put on record one or two further extracts from his testimony. At page 593 he was asked this:
Q. You say you had negotiations with Mr. Pugsley and others. Did you ever ask for the balance of this sale of the Central Railway- $38,000?-You knew you were to get $180,000? -A. Yes.
Q. You know that amount was voted by the legislature of the province?-A. Yes.
Q. You understood that $180,000 was charged as having actually been paid to you and Mr. Elkins?-A. I don't know that.
Q. Notwithstanding all that you say, all you ever got was this $140,000, odd?-A. Yes.'
Q. All you ever got?-A. Yes.
Page 594:
According to the contract, $15,000 in two months, $15,000 again, $30,000 and $15,000, none of these were made on time, I could have cancelled the agreement if I had wished, under the agreement because the agreement was never carried out.
Q. You were worried and simply threw it up?-A. Yes.
Q. Threw it up, without being paid any more than $140,000?-A. Yes.
Q. Have you any idea who got the balance? -A. Not the slightest.
Q. You knew the province had paid it?
I wish to call the attention of the House to that evidence in view of the statement made by the Minister of Public Works in answer to a question which I put to him that the deductions from this amount were made by arrangement between Mr. Evans and Mr. Allen. The minister stated that distinctly. There is Mr. Evans' evidence. When he is asked:
Have you any idea who got the balance?
He says:
Not the slightest.
Q. Have you any idea who got the disposition between the $12,500 and $15,000?-A. No.
Q. No information?-A. No.
Q. No belief about it? (Objected, Mr. Car-veil.)-A. I can't say what I don't actually know.
Q. You have no information about the matter?-A. No.
Q. Neither you or Mr. Elkins got it, you are positive about that?-A. Yes, I am positive; I don't think Mr. Elkins did, for I would have known if he did.
At the bottom of the page the chairman asks:
Q. Can you, from the figures, give us just how much you did receive out of that $180.000? Was there an understanding with somebody as to what you did receive and that there was a balance, or does it still stand in that way?-A. I understand the matter is



closed. I would be perfectly willing to receive it.
Page 594:
A. The matter was discussed with two or three parties.
Q. Who were they?-A. I think Mr. Allen, Mr. Trueman and Dr. Pugsley was another.
The chairman.-You afterwards gave them to understand that the thing was closed, you did not expect any more?-A. Yes.
I think, Mr. Speaker, that that evidence is pretty conclusive upon the question as to the amount that was actually paid for the Central Railway. The evidence was not disputed by anybody. There was no pretense made by the Minister of Public Works, or by any witness who was examined before the commission last summer, that this statement was not based upon fact and no attempt was made to dispute the statement in any single particular. It must be, I submit, taken as indisputable that only that amount of money was paid to Mr. Evans for the option on the Central Railway between Chipman and Norton. Mr. Evans could not have been more emphatic or explicit than he is in his statement as set out in the testimony which I have now read. Further, in Mr. Evans'evidence, to show that these negotiations were carried on with the knowledge of the Minister of Public Works, we find, at page 597, the following:
Q. Do you remember with whom negotiations were had by you with respect to the abandonment?-A. No, I don't remember, my impression is, I think there were two or three, I think Mr. Allen was there and Dr. Pugsley, I think so.
There is Mr. Evans' statement that Dr. Pugsley was cognizant of this arangement. But I can establish from the evidence of Dr. Pugsley himself, at pages 712 and 713, that he was fully aware of the abandonment of that sum.
Q. Eventually, Evans was settled with, was he not?-A. Eventually, he was settled with, yes, and Mr. Elkins and they gave an order on the trust company.
Q. Mr. Evans said that he was not paid in full. There was a balance, about $38,000 was struck off from his account, at the settlement?
This is to the Minister of Public Works himself:
A. I can't tell vqu as to the correctness of the amount. I think there is some error, I would not suppose he was not settled with, because the agreement was that the company was to have a clear title to the road, that they did not do and never were in a position to do. Mr. Evans and Elkins were settled with and, I understood, to their satisfaction.
Q- *P1(i you participate in the settlement and negotiations? A. I can't recall that, very likely I was informed of them.
Further on:


Oswald Smith Crocket: And I have shown, Mr. Speaker, that these audits were not audits at all. Mr. Corbett, who was examined, stated that he had not sufficient data to make an audit, and he refused to assent to the statement that the statement which he had prepared was an audit, saying that it was simply a statement made on the basis of the information furnished to him.
One of these was F. S. Sharpe, who has since died, and after his death Mr. Corbett, another experienced accountant, completed the work. In that way the government satisfied themselves that everything was bona fide. For a further answer to this question I may say that when the members supporting the government authorized us to go to the limit of $250,000 for the purpose of improving this road made a condition that before any of that money was expended there should be a thorough audit. The government after a complete examination of the accounts advanced the money and has thus taken every possible means of ascertaining the whole truth in regard to this road. I have not the slightest hesitation in saying that no statement could be more false that that made by the ' Gleaner.'
So there were two separate occasions on which the Minister of Public Works, while Attorney General of the province of New Brunswick, made a statement which was false to the legislature of New Brunswick, and the evidence that I have adduced shows that at the time he made it he was aware of its falsity. That establishes the second statement in the indictment. The commissioners also say:
This statement was made with the full knowledge that some $39,000 of the $180,000 had not been paid and was not to be paid. It wa9 known besides that Mr. Sharpe had prepared, under instructions, a statement that the full amount of $180,000 had been paid, and such statement was allowed by the government to be put on file at Fredericton without correction.
Now, what is the record with regard to that? The statement to which the commissioners refer will be found on page 198 of the orders in council and documents in connection with the New Brunswick Coal and Railway Company. It is headed'Approximate Balance Sheet of the New Brunswick Coal and Railway Company as of 31st May, 1904,' and among the assets is the item: 'Central Railway Purchase, $180,000.'
I have already referred to the evidence showing that this statement was prepared by Mr. Sharpe after all the data and information had been furnished to him by the Minister of Public Works and his partner Mr. A. I. Trueman; and further, it appears from the evidence that it was the Minister of Public Works while Attorney General of New Brunswick who particularly instructed Mr. Sharpe to make that statement.
There is this further statement by the commission:


Oswald Smith Crocket: In an order in council dated July 12, 1904, prepared, we believe, by the Hon. Mr. Pugs-ley, it was declared that this $180,000 had been paid for the railway from Norton to Chipman.
That order in council is also in the records, and it will be found on page 82 of this volume of orders in council and documents. This is the passage that refers to the payment for the Central Railway:
An audit has been made by Mr. F. S. Sharpe, a chartered accountant, from which it appears that the cost of construction and rolling stock amounts to $368,056.33, and adding to this the amount paid for the line of 45 miles from Norton to Chipman of $180,000, and also $38,892.90, being the cost of improvements made to the Central Railway and charged to capital account.
There is the evidence to justify the third statement contained in that very serious 'ndictment, that an order in council, prepared, they believe, by the Hon. Mr. Pugs-ley, contained that false statement. Then, the commissioners sum up as follows:
These statements were made although Mr. Pugsley had participated in the negotiations with Mr. Evans bv which the amount, about $39,000, was abandoned, and we cannot conceive how such a fact could have been forgotten by Mr. Pugsley.
Now, I ask any hon. member of this House who is disposed to give this question any fair consideration if he has any doubt that the commission were amply justified in every detail of that statement. If that is the fact, then I ask the Prime Minister if a gentleman who has been found guilty, and who is guilty under this evidence, of such a serious offence is a fit and proper person to be in charge of the greatest spending department of the federal government. So much for that which I consider the most serious finding contained in the report.
I propose now to give some few samples from the evidence of how this money has disappeared; and the commission do not set out all the examples that niight have been set out from an examination of the evidence. They set out three or four, but there are at least half a dozen others just as glaring which they have not embodied in the report. I have already quoted the evidence of Mr. Evans as to the payment which he received on account of the first instalment on account of the purchase of the Central Railway. He was entitled to receive $15,000. An order in council had set that out. The evidence I have already quoted shows in the most positive manner that he received only $12,500 of that $15,000. That evidence will be found on pages 590, 591, and 594 of the evidence. So that on the very first payment under this agreement for the purchase of the Central Railway there was a switching of $2,500. Mr. Evans was asked who got that. He

said he had not the slightest idea; and yet the members of this House heard the Min ister of Public Works say last nieht that Mr. Evans arranged with Mr. Allen for the deduction of these amounts so that they could go for other purposes in connection with the railway.
The second instalment of $15,000 was due in February, 1902. I have also read from Mr. Evans' evidence showing that of this he received only $9,500. His attention was called, on page 572 of the evidence, to the statement in an order in council that he had received $15,000 before and also this $15,000; and notwithstanding that, he affirmed most positively that all he had received of the second $15,000 which was checked out of the funds of the Company for that purpose, was $9,500-a switching in that instance of $5,500 from, its legitimate course.
On pages 35 and 36 of the report, speaking of the difference between the aggregate of the discounts that had been made by the New Brunswick Coal and Railway Company at the People's Bank, and the amount that had been received by the James Barnes Construction Company, the commission say:
This difference is pretty well accounted for by three notes; first one for $1,250 discounted January 22, 1902, marked on account A, G, B, of the proceeds of which there was no trace, the second being the fifth note discounted hy the hank, on February 5, 1902, amounting to $25,000, marked on account Evans, and third by a note for $10,000 discounted on November 19, 1902, marked F, P, T. As to the latter, you could not trace what became of the proceeds, but in the case of the $25,000 note, discounted February .5, 1902, above mentioned, we found that the proceeds thereof were placed to the credit of the company, thus opening the only really checkable current account ever kept by the company with the Peoples' Bank.
At page 35:
This account was checked out in seven amounts and closed March 8, 1902. It shows to whom the cheques were made payable, but these cheques were handed to J. J. F. Winslow by the bank on January 19, 1901, and Mr. Winslow could not find them, so he stated. Four cheques amounting to $5,262.68 were made payable to Geo. W. Allen, and we could find no trace of what became of the money. Two cheques dated February 8, 1902, of $1,000 and $15,000, respectively, were drawn payable to E. G. Evans.
So that the House will observe that the $25,000 placed to the credit of the New Brunswick Coal and Railway Company at the Peoples' bank, is the only checkable account of all the transactions of that company. The $25,000 was obtained on account of Evans and presumably destined for the hands of Mr. Evans on account of the purchase of this railway. Yet, Mr. Evans states most positively that all he received was $9,500 out of the $25,000 so marked as his cheque. There were two cheques on that $25,000 after it had been placed to the credit of the company in the Peoples' bank. One svas for $4,000 and the other for $15,000, dated February 5, which were marked in the account in the People's Bank, one was for $4,000 and is the sum I have already referred to, off which there was sliced $5,500 in transit to Mr. Evans. Then the $4,000 seems to have gone astray in toto. So that there were two cheques for $19,000 in all which were presumably intended for Mr. Evans, but out of which he only got $9,500 or only fifty per cent.
Those are two instances which the commission have mentioned in their report, but there are others. There are the notes which were discounted by Mr. Barnes of the Barnes Construction Company and Mr. Pugsley. In the first place there is a note for $13,500, which was discounted at the Bank of New Brunswick on the 3rd of October, 1903. Those were the notes to which I suppose the Minister of Public Works referred when he boasted last night of his having financed a loan to the great benefit of the people of New Brunswick. The commission remarked that they cannot understand the necessity of either Mr. Barnes or Mr. Pugsley endorsing the notes, because the banks held as collateral bonds guaranteed by the province and which were ample security for the advances made. On that day there was a note discounted for $13,500 as will be found in the bank account at page 652 of the documents, and on the same day there is credited to Mr. Barnes only the sum of $10,225.04. The note for $13,500 was to pay on account of the work of the Barnes Construction Company. That company received only $10,225.04, leaving $3,274.76 which was switched in transit.
There is another note to which the commission make no reference. It was given on the 18th of November, 1903, for $13,000, discounted by Mr. Pugsley and Mr. Barnes in the Bank of New Brunswick. It is entered in the bank's account at page 652. Barnes' account is credited only $8,400 on that day or three days afterwards. $8,400 credited on a note discounted for $13,000, leaving a shortage of $4,600. There is another note for $14,000 and this is not mentioned in the report either. It was discounted by Mr. Pugsley and Barnes the 23rd of December, 1903, at the Bank of New Brunswick. It will be found in the bank's current account also, and of that sum Mr. Barnes appears to have received $10,781.40, or $3,218.60 was switched off before it reached Barnes. So that there were four notes endorsed by Pugsley and Barnes, presumably on account of the 15 miles section under the Barnes con-

tract. These four notes amounted to $52,336, and the lifts which were taken off them reached a sum of no less than $12,525.93; or nearly twenty-five per cent, which should have gone into the construction of that road, disappeared in transit after Mr. Pugsley had got the money from the bank. That is fully borne out by the evidence, and I defy the hon. member for Carleton (Mr. Carvell) or the hon. Minister of Public Works-if he would reconsider his decision and return to the House-to show that statement is not fully borne out by the evidence.
In addition we have upon that point the evidence of Mr. Barnes at page 646 and 647. My hon. friend the Minister of Public Works said last night that the commissioners would not put any questions about any of these matters, but his statement in that regard is, like all the others, directly contrary to the evidence and the fact. At page 646, Mr. Powell examined Mr. Barnes as follows:
On October 3, I see in your account you are charged with $10,225.01 in the Bank of Now Brunswiok and the same date there is a discount of $13,100, now the difference is about $3,300, what became of that difference? -A. I don't know.
And further:
On Otcober 20, $11,836, proceeds of Bank of New Brunswick also, on that date there is $11,800 odd dollars, got by discount, you were charged with $10,408.65, the difference would be about $1,400; do you know what became of that?-A. No.
Q. Who were on the note?-A. I can't say.
'I can't say,' though the records show that he and Mr. Pugsley were on it.
Q. On the 23rd December, $14,000 is got out of the Bank of New Brunswick, St. John, on the company account (1903); on that date you are charged with $10,781.40 only. To you know what became of the difference, $3,300? -A. No.
So, I think that any hon. gentleman who should attempt to reflect upon the commissioners for setting out these facts, in view of the evidence I have quoted, would be a very bold gentleman indeed. Now, it is but fair to say that the Minister of Public Works (Mr. Pugsley) himself was questioned when he was on the stand as to one of these notes. His evidence will be found on page 706.
Q. I find a note of about $13,000 or $14,000 discounted by you and Mr. Barnes in the Bank of New Brunswick or the British North America, out of which Mr. Barnes got $10,000. If this thing is so easy and properly kept, please tell me what you did with the balance between the $10,000 and the proceeds ? -A. Any balance to pay Mr. Barnes went to the secretary, M'r. Allen.
Q. Will you swear to that?-A. I am positive about that.


Oswald Smith Crocket: Q. Where is the record?-A. Mr. Allen had the record. I would not keep a record, why should I keep a record?
Though the Minister of Public Works states that he received that money, that he had it in his hands and that Mr. Barnes received only $10,000 of the proceeds, we find that he states that he sent the balance to the secretary of the company. I ask you if it is reasonable to suppose that any custodian of funds would send such an amount of money as that to anybody without being able to produce a letter either from himself to Mr. Allen or from Mr. Allen to himself, or a receipt or record of any kind bearing out his statement? He is asked for the record, and he says that Mr. Allen has the record. I read the evidence of Mr. Winslow, who succeeded Mr. Allen as secretary, showing that Mr. Allen had no books of account at all and that what data he had Mr. Winslow was familiar with, and there is not one entry in the account or one document that could be produced accounting for this difference between the amount Mr. Pugsley received on the discount of that note and the amount which Mr. Barnes received.
So, these are a few samples of the manner in which the money has disappeared. There are one or two others to which I wish to refer, and to quote a little evidence concerning them before I conclude my remarks. The name of Mr. Geo. McAvity is rather familiar in this chamber, as I think it is all over the country, and it will remain familiar, associated with that of the Minister of Public Works, so long as the government refuse to take any action to recover that $35,000 which he lifted out of the treasury here at Ottawa. Mr. McAvity became president of this company on July 1, 1904. There had been no president for about two years previous to that;. Mr. Ernest Hutchinson, who was the first president, got so disgusted with the manner in which things were going, that he refused to lend his name any longer to the company. But Mr. McAvity was called in as president in 1904. In the Legislature, the present Minister of Public Works (Mr. Pugsley) made a statement as to the great things that were to be expected by reason of Mr. McAvity having condescended to accept the trust and management of this great institution. At page 106 of the Debates of the Legislative Assembly the hon. gentleman is reported as saying:
As stated, the premier insisted upon a change of management. Not that Mr. Evans the then manager was not a competent man and thoroughly conversant with railway management, but the premier thought it would be wise to place affairs in the hands of an experienced and thoroughly competent business man, if such could be found, to take hold of the enterprise. Such a man was found in Mr. George McAvity, of the city

of St. John. I am accused by the opposition of being optimistic, of looking upon the rosy side of things, of having large ideas regarding the future of our province. I confess to that. X am glad that I am optimistic. I had far rather be an optimist than^ to stand like some members of the opposition with my eyes upon tiio ground, blocking tho wheels of progress. Of Mr. McAvity it need only be said that he is known throughout the length and breadth of this Dominion, and beyond its confines, as a progressive and successful business man, a member of a firm which has made an eminent success of its business and has built up one of the leading industries of the city of St. John.
I am inclined to think that members of this House will agree with the statement made by the minister that Mr. McAvity is known throughout the length and breadth of the Dominion, and that statement is truer to-day a great deal than it was when Mr. Pugsley made it on the floor of the New Brunswick Legislature in 1905.
But, bearing that statement in mind, let us see how the minister's optimism with respect to Mr. McAvity has been justified in the management of this road. At page 364 of the evidence, will be found Mr. McAvity's own statement as to the manner in which he executed this trust.
Q. When you became president in 1904 and continued at the head office, didn't you con-
Q. That $5,000 so far as this cash book appears from view?-A. That would be previous to my taking charge.	_	.
Q. That is carried forward in pencil, on page 7 it is reduced to $47,250, then on page 9 it is carried forward in ink $47,827.70

can you give any explanation of this, how W. P. would get $5,000?-A. I did not make the entry, I have not the slightest idea.
Q. Do you know who W. P. was?-A. I have not the slightest idea.
Money of which he was the custodian, $5,000, had gone into the hands of W. P. and he had not the slightest idea as to how it got there.
Q. Do you know who W. P. was?-A. I have not the slightest idea.	,
Q. Do you know anybody connected with the business to whom W. P. would refer?-A. I have not the slightest idea.	...
Q. Do you know a person with the initials W. P. prominently connected with the business of the company?-A. I know persons with those initials.
Q. You know a man connected with the financial affairs?-A. I cannot say why they were put there.
That, Mr. Speaker, was the evidence of Mr. Geo. McAvity, whom the Hon. Wm. Pugsley recommended so highly on the floors of the New Brunswick legislature as a man who was going to straighten out the affairs of this road. At page 360:
trol the finances?-A. I took the presidency in 1904, they were starting a new set of books, Mr. Sharpe was auditing the books, and a new set of books had to be opened up.
Q. Where is this set of books?-A. They never were opened to my knowledge.
That is the way Mr. McAvity started in to execute this important trust.
Q. From the time you became president to the present time, you have not a single book kept in your office or under your supervision except the book you now bring and which was made up from other books? A. But the books that were held at Norton, at the head office. This book is made up from one received, I had paid me and from data in my office.
Q. Not from a book you had yourself?-A. I had no books to keep.
Page 368:	.
Q. Do you know what books were opened?- A. Not of my personal knowledge.
This is the eminent business man who managed this road. Then at page 380
Q. I will call your attention here on page 5 * brought forward $52,250/ this was during vour regime?-A. That is since I took charge.
Q. I see in lead pencil ' less W. P. $5,000 - that is carried forward a total credit item on the 5th page. I see this in lead pencil ' less W. P. $5,000 ' ?-A. I never saw that before.
Although it subsequently appeared that Mr. McAvity had signed a cheque which was filled out in the handwriting of the Hon. Wm. Pugsley for that amount.
Q. As director, would you inquire into the business of the company?-A. No. In the position I was in I never gave any time or attention to it.
At page 361:	0
Q. There were no meetings of directors?-
A.	None that I attended.
Page 363. He says that Mr. Pugsley substantially controlled the whole business. Now for these services, I may say, Mr. McAvity charged $5,000 a year, and the evidence shows that $2,380 had been paid him as interest on some coupons from the month of January to the month of March, on the sum of $216,000. This amount, $2,380, he did not know anything about, and could not account for it. In this investigation he was asked about it, and had no explanation. But a few days afterwards his counsel, the memDer for Car-leton, appeared with a statement showing that it had been charged up by Mr. McAvity as salary. When he was questioned, he had no knowledge and could not account for the money; but when he came back upon the stand, after a consultation with his counsel, he is questioned with respect to the money and said that he had put it in his pocket on account of his salary. Now, there is another section in the Act of 1001 which I read this morning, with reference to the conditions upon which this guarantee should be endorsed. There is a specific section in the Act providing that

the salary of that officer, and the amount of wages paid for his services
shall bo subject to the approval of the Lieutenant Governor in Council, who may fix or alter the amount from time to time as long as the said guarantee of the province shall remain outstanding.
Notwithstanding that provision there was nobody who knew the salaries of any of the officers of this company. They seemed to be taking money exactly as they needed it, and as they desired it, and to be taking it in very large sums. On that head I wish to quote from the evidence of the Minister of Public Works himself. Page 742:
Q. What salary did Mr. Allen get?-A. I don't remember.
The ex officio director of this company representing the government in the interest of the people of the province, with that provision in the Act I have referred tj, that the salary should be fixed by the Lieutenant Governor in Council, states in his evidence that he was not even aware what salary was paid to the secretary u, the company, or that he did not remember.
Q. Do you know what salary Mr. Trueman got?-A. I do not remember.
Q. Did tho directors get any remuneration? -A. They got some remuneration.
Q. You all got some?-A. I do not believe I got much. Take the accounts, and I think I am out of pocket, I think outside the New Brunswick Real Estate, Loan and Trust Company you will find I am out of pocket personally.
Q. Had you any arrangement as to what you would get?-A. No.
Q. You did get something as director or manager ?
Now, mark that question. The member for Carleton said there was no evidence that Mr. Pugsley was manager of this company. He did not dispute it on the ground that he was manager. He says:
A. I do not think so. It was proposed to give me_ something, I think Mr. Sharpe submitted it for consideration. There were certain accounts had to go before Mr Tweedie as premier, for payment, and he refused to allow anything for me.
Q. He was not generous?-A. He was extremely careful, he was heartbreaking at rimes.
Now that is the evidence of the Minister Hublic Works in regard to his knowledge of the salaries that were paid the officers of this company. He could not give the commission any information of any kind on that point, notwithstanding that under the terms of that Act he and the Provincial Secretary were appointed a board to see that those terms were carried out.
Now, in reference to this proposal of Mr. Sharpe, the Minister of Public Works told Mr. CROCKET.
us in his evidence that this employee of the company, and a temporary employee, had proposed that $5,000 should be paid to him, Mr. Pugsley, as managing director. I quoted last night the statement of Mr. Sharpe, of the 31st May, 1904, in which the $5,000 was written down as salary and fees of the managing director. Is it any wonder that the commission, in their report state that had it not been that the Minister of Public Works swore to it they would have believed that that $5,000, with reference to which the only entry was a lead pencil entry of W. P., was salary, and not a loan which he, the Minister of Public Works, stated that he made to the company.
I do not propose to discuss further the question of the 'W.P. $5,000.' I just ask the members of this House to consider this tact. There was a loan company, the New Brunswick Real Estate Loan and Trust Company, incorporated for the purpose, if we are to attach any importance to their name, of loaning money amongst other things. That company, as I showed last night from the evidence of the Minister of Public Works, had no books of account. The only entry in reference to the matter was ' W.P. $5,000,' which was a lead pencil entry in the bank book of Mr. George Mc-Avity. Neither in the books of the New Brunswick Coal and Railway Company, nor in the books of the New Brunswick Real Estate Loan and Trust Company was there any entry of the amount of $5,000 or of the amount of the loans that the Minister of Public Works alleged that he had made to the company in the name of the New Brunswick Real Estate Loan and Trust Company. I ask if there is any jury in this land which could be expected to believe for one moment the statement which the Minister of Public Works submitted to that commission? Is it any wonder that the commission declined to give that statement credence? The Minister of Public Works, on the stand, produced these cheques; not one of them was marked or made payable to the New Brunswick Railway and Coal Company. They all bore the names of other parties who, no doubt, had some connection with the old Central Railway. There was Elkins on one cheque, Evans on another cheque, Trueman on another cheque, and, I think, the Canada Permanent Loan Company on another. I ask the members of this House if a loan company making a loan to any other company would make it in the way in which the Minister of Public Works has alleged that he made the loans of this amount_ of money? The thing is, I have no hesitation in saying, absolutely incredible, and I showed by reference to the evidence of the Minister of Public Works this morning that he admitted that out of

the proceeds of these bonds he had recouped himself for loans that he had made.
1 think the explanation will be found there of how he received the amount of these alleged loans to this company.
Now, in reference to the lack of books and the confusion in the business of this company, I am going to put upon record further extracts from the evidence of Mr. Barnes. There was one question with regard to four drafts which he had charged the company with having paid, amounting to $1,026.50, $3,600, $2,620 and $1,127. He was asked, at page 642 of the evidence, what that money was for, and he replied:
I don't remember. It was the company's place to keep these cash accounts.
Q. You don't know, you can't give us any explanation of a single dollar of that $8,000 advance?-A. No.
Q. You don't know who got them?-A. No. Again:
Q. Have you any cheques or drafts that were given by you or accepted by you in connection with this transaction?-A. I did not beep track of that.
Q. Have you any cheques or drafts in connection with this matter between you and the company?-A. I do not think it. The business was wiped out and that was the end of it.
Q. Did you destroy your drafts?-A. I did as a general thing.
Q. Your cheques?-A. I destroyed them.
Q. Have you heard any tell of your books since?-A. No.
Q. Have you no idea where they are?-A. No.
And he actually told the commission that he had never seen a document in reference to the settlement that the New Brunswick Coal and Eailway Company made with him on account of his construction contract. I say, if these witnesses were examined before any jury in this country there is not the slightest doubt but that they would render a unanimous verdict, declaring their refusal to believe witnesses who gave such evidence as that, and yet that is the class of testimony that this commission have had to deal with. The Minister of Public Works, speaking in the House last night, asked: ' Why did the commission not call so and so? They did not want any information; they did not want to give us a chance.' It was very amusing to me, and I have no doubt, to the majority of the members of this House to hear the Minister of Public Works criticise and actually attack Mr. Hazen and Mr. Flemming as attorney general and provincial secretary of the province of New Brunswick because they were now ex-officio directors of this company and they were not able to make up the interest account in connection with moneys that were handled by the Minister of Public Works himself while he was an ex officio director of the company.
There is another matter which was referred to in this report and to which the Minister of Public Works has made reference himself. That is the buying off of Mr. Wheaton who tendered for the construction of this fifteen-mile section. There were two tenders, as appears by the report and by the evidence sent in for this work. One was that of Mr. James Barnes, amounting to $117,000, and the other was from Mr. Wheaton, amounting to $109,000, or $8,000 less. These two tenders were referred to a committee of the railway company, consisting of Mr. Pugsley, Mr. Skinner and others. The contract, although Mr. Wheaton was the lower tenderer and was an experienced contractor, as the commission state, notwithstanding what the Minister of Public Works stated last night, Mr. Wheaton was bought off pending the decision of the executive of which Mr. Pugsley was a member. He was paid $5,000 to withdraw his tender so that the contract went to Mr. Barnes, or the Barnes Construction Company, for $117,000 for the construction of this fifteen-mile section. That did not include the rails or the engineering expenses and another item or two which Mr. Shannon, in his report, says would have amounted to $70,000.


Mr. HUGHES.: Nor the ties.


Oswald Smith Crocket: It included the ties, I think, but not the rails. The contract went to Mr. Barnes, and, let me say in reference to Mr. Barnes, that he was also a member of the New Brunswick legislature, a member of the Grit machine of the province of New Brunswick, as every member of this directorate was a member of the Liberal machine in that province and he had associated with him in the Barnes Construction *Company the Hon. F. P. Thompson and Mr. W. T. Whitehead and other prominent figures in the Liberal party of the province. They were his chief associates. The commission do not find that Mr. Barnes' associates were advised of the buying off of the lowest tenderer, but if hon. gentlemen will look at the evidence they will find that there is abundant evidence in Mr. Barnes' own statement to justify the finding that these gentlemen were advised of the buying off of the tender of Mr. Wheaton. The upshot was that the contract went to Mr. Barnes for $117,000. What occurred? Last night the Minister of Public Works said that the reason that the contract had been awarded to Mr. Barnes was that he had been such a succes-ful contractor and that Mr. Wheaton had been a failure. The evidence is just to the contrary and the result shows that the minister's statement in regard to Mr. Barnes was absolutely unfounded, because, certainly, if he had never made a failure before, he made a failure of this contract for

he was compelled to throw up the contract in the spring of 1903 and, do you know, that the company actually took that contract off his hands and entered into an arrangement with him for the construction of the road upon a percentage basis agreeing to give him the actual cost of construction plus 15 per cent and that is a way a lot of the grafting was done in connection with this business. I have no hesitation in expressing it as my opinion that the importation of Mr. Barnes into this and the awarding of the contract to Mr. Barnes under these circumstances was with that particular end in view. The Minister of Public Works has spoken about the cost of this fifteen mile section and the unfairness of the commission in allowing only $316,000. Why, Mr. Speaker, that $316,000 is $25,000 more than the Minister of Public Works himself figures in the statement which is on the files. Although the commission express the opinion that this was entirely too much to allow for the construction of that line, they do nevertheless allow the whole amount of $316,000. Mr. Shannon in his report points out that if the New Brunswick Coal and Railway Company had done its duty and held Mr. Barnes to his contract the road could have been built for less than $200,000. Mr. Barnes agreed to build his end of it for $117,000 and Mr. Shannon shows that the rails and the engineer's expenses and another item or two would not have amounted to more than $80,000 extra. Furthermore, Mr. Wetmore the provincial engineer was instructed by Provincial Secretary Tweedie to visit the locality and make an examination of the work, and a letter from Mr. Tweedie is on file in which he expresses the greatest dissatisfaction with the manner in which things have been goiilg on. I think it is in reference to this, that the commission used the expression that he had called into play a force which he could not control, and the force which he could not control was the force of the Minister of Public Works. In August, 1903, Mr. Wetmore made a complete report of the value of the work up to that time, and he valued it for the branches and all at $195,000, and that report was sent to Mr. Tweedie. Mr. Tweedie wired Mr. Wetmore for an estimate of what it would cost to complete the road and Mr. Wetmore made another report saying that $31,000 would have completed it. Therefore, on the report of the engineer of the government this road was worth only $226,000. Before the commission evidence was offered as to the cost of similar roads in New Brunswick, and while they have allowed the whole $316,000 it is clear from a perusal of the report that they allowed many thousands of dollars more than was honestly spent in the construction of the railway.
Before I conclude, Mr. Speaker, I feel Mr. CROCKET.
that I cannot, as a member of the New Brunswick Bar, allow to pass unchallenged the bitter, vindictive and malicious attack which the Minister of Public Works saw fit to make upon an honoured member of the Supreme Court Bench of New Brunswick. I say this, and no one knows it better than the Minister of Public Works, that we have never had upon the Supreme Court Bench of our province-and we have had many eminent judges there-a judge who occupied a higher place in the esteem of the people of the province than does the Hon. Mr. Justice Landry. Not only is Mr. Justice Landry respected and honoured by the people of his own race-and let me say that he is recognized as the most distinguished man the Acadian race has given to the province of New Brunswick-not only is he honoured by the people of his own race and his own creed, But he is honoured by the whole citizenship of New Brunswick irrespective of race and irrespective of creed. And, Sir, it will require far more than the denunciation of the Minister of Public Works to detract from the high reputation which Mr. Justice Landry enjoys, not only in New Brunswick, but throughout this whole Dominion. If there is one quality more than another for which Mr. Justice Landry is distinguished it is his absolute fairness, honesty, and integrity. I repeat that no one knows that better than the Minister of Public Works. I was very much surprised, as a member of this House and as a member of the Bar of New Brunswick, that a gentleman occupying the high position of a minister of the Crown, should make such an unwarranted and malicious attack upon that distinguished citizen of our province. As a member of this parliament and as a member of the Bar, I resent in the strongest possible terms the conduct of the Minister of Public Works in seeking to besmirch the good name of that honoured man. I challenge the Minister of Public Works to point to one single act with which Mr. Justice Landry can be connected either in his public career or his judicial career which does him other than the greatest credit. Mr. Justice Landry was a member of the provincial government of New Brunswick in the days when we had no New Brunswick Coal & Railway frauds. In the regime of that government of which Mr. Justice Landry was a member there was never a single scandal of any discription that could be charged against the administration, and in that government Mr. Justice Landry was the minister of the spending department. I have the feeling that no one will regret more than the Minister of Public Works himself the attack which he was so unwise and so indiscreet as to make in this House last evening upon that honourable and distinguished member of the New

Brunswick judiciary. I do not think that Mr. Justice Landry requires any defence from me. In the documents that I have read to-day and the citations that I have made from the evidence is to be found a vindication of Mr. Justice Landry if vindication were needed. I challenge any member of this House to show wherein the evidence given before that commission does not bear out to the fullest extent every finding made. Not only that, Mr. Speaker, but if this commission has erred at all it has erred on the side of leniency.
I have already pointed - out three or four instances in which the name of the Minister of Public Works should have been set forth in the report and where it was omitted, I suppose, out of consideration for the high office he occupies. But if, as the Minister of Public Works said, the commission was actuated only by a reckless desire to destroy him, is it likely that they would have refrained from mentioning his name in reference to some of these transactions where his name is mentioned in the most discreditable manner in the evidence which wras adduced before the commission.
Now, Mr. Speaker, as to the character of this commission, perhaps some members of this House who are not familiar with the public men and with the judges of New Brunswick may take some stock in the statements of the Minister of Public Works, but I can assure them that these the commission, to prove this. The editor pie who live in the maritime provinces. I could quote from an editorial of the St. John ' Globe ' of April 12 last, which refers to these violent attacks made upon the commission to prove this. The editor of the ' Globe, ' is one of the most consistent Liberals in the Dominion, who is one of the most honourable Liberals in the Dominion, and who though possibly he may not be, an intense admirer of the Minister of Public Works, has certainly up to this time enjoyed a good standing in the Liberal party. I could point to this editorial in the St. John 'Globe' to show that it resented these attacks and stated that the commissioners are men of the highest character, as everybody in New Brunswick knows. And, Sir, it will require more than such an attack as was made upon that commission last night to disturb the effect of the findings in that report. I apologize for detaining the House at such great length, but in view of the position which the Minister of Public Works took with regard to the evidence I thought it was necessary. He started out by stating that these findings were not borne out by the evidence and he expressed regret in his own speech and in some of the interruptions during the speech of the hon.
member for West Elgin that the matter was to be confined to a discussion of the report, because what he wanted was the evidence. The Minister of Public Works acknowledged that he had two volumes of the evidence of the witnesses, and there are only two volumes. Yet did he allude to the evidence from the beginning to the end of his five hours' speech yesterday? Not to one syllable, and why? Because he knew that the evidence condemned him more strongly than the report. He made a great talk in the newspapers about the necessity of having the evidence; he admitted yesterday that he had it; but he declined to use it, for the reason I have stated. Now the House has the evidence, and I think I have established by quotations from it that there was not one shadow of justification for the position the Minister of Public Works took in his speech yesterday.
A word or two in reference to a statement that was made by the hon. member for Carleton and also by the Minister of Public Works while the hon. member for West Elgin was speaking yesterday; that was, that they had not had an opportunity of giving evidence, and that the commission had attempted to cut them off. Does my hon. friend from Carleton say that he did not appear as counsel for the New Brunswick Coal and Railway Company? Does he say that Mr M. G. Teed did not appear as counsel with him? Does he say that Mr. A. P. Barnhill did not also appear as counsel for the ex-commissioners, Messrs. McAvity and King? I ask the hon. member for Carleton to contrast the conduct of this commission with the conduct of the Insurance Commission which was appointed by this government some years ago, the chief purpose of which I have always thought was to get a crack at the member for North Toronto (Mr. Foster). An attempt was made to shatter the reputation of the hon. member for North Toronto by the operation of that Insurance Commission. There were charges made of every description. Mr. Foster appeared before that commission, and he was refused again and again the privilege of putting questions through the mouth of his own counsel. And yet a party which issued instructions for the conduct of a commission on such lines as that has the temerity to criticise the conduct of the commission appointed by the New Brunswick government under which the fullest possible opportunity was offered to every counsel who desired to appear on behalf of anybody who had any conceivable interest in the inquiry. I cannot give a better idea of the fairness of Mr. Justice Landry than to quote from pages 61 and 62 of the report of the evidence:

St. John, July 8, 1908.
Commissioners met, pursuant to notice, in the Admiralty Court Room, at 10 a.m., to hear evidence.
The Chairman. This is, virtually the first session of the commission for the particular purpose of taking evidence. It is true, that we met at Fredericton and sat there a short time, but, employed most of the time on the examination of legislation concerning the railway, and in examining certain documents. We called some witnesses, but, inasmuch as this is a public investigation, and as everybody who is interested should have every right to be present, personally, or by counsel, we would like it understood that what we did at Fredericton in the matter of taking evidence is open to the inspection of anybody. The evidence is typewritten, and the witness may be recalled for the purpose of cross-examination or for other purposes.	[DOT]


Mr.  M. G.@: Teed, K.C., who was present, said: A few moments ago I received a telegram from Mr. F. B. Carvell, at Ottawa, stating that he had been retained to appear for the New Brunswick Coal and Railway Company in this investigation, and he wished me to appear to-day and ask for an adjournment. We all know he had his parliamentary duties to attend to, but I am not otherwise aware of the reasons he has for assisting the adjournment. But I should think it would be very important that the company should be represented. I hope your honour may make such an adjournment and allow the hearing to go over until after prorogation of parliament, which, I understand, will be the end of next week.
Mr. Powell. I do not see how this application can bo complied with. It cannot be for the reason of the absence of counsel. There are numerous counsel in the city of St. John who could be engaged. I certainly would oppose a postponement. It does not look like a bona fide application. If there was any real necessity for an adjournment I would consent.
The Chairman. I think we can hardly accede to this request just now, at any rate. I appreciate the interest which this company would have in the proceedings, and perhaps the necessity of their being present-certainly we would be assisted if they were present, but this invstigation is likely to take some little time, and I think it is impossble for us to commence by adjournments to accommodate everybody. If we so commenced we would not know where we would land. Mr. Carvell is employed at Ottawa, and he cannot leave until after adjournment of parliament, the date of which is doubtful. If we were to commence by acceding to all the requests that were made for adjourning, I do not know when we would be liable to close. I think we would meet so as to have the evidence transcribed, and it would be open to these people to have witnesses recalled at any time for the purpose of examination or anything else.
Mr. Teed. Inasmuch as this is the first application on behalf of the New Brunswick Coal and Railway Company-while I can understand the force of much Your Honour says -I think in this case they might consider ? prejudiced if not represented.
The Chairman. There is a great deal in what has been said by Mr. Powell that counsel could be obtained. I have had a similar ap-Mr. CROCKET.
plication from the Minister of Public Works, asking an adjournment that he might be present, himself. That letter was written some time ago, and I replied to it, and in his answer he does not insist on an adjournment. If counsel could state a definite time at which he could be present, we would endeavour to accede to his wishes, but, we could hardly adjourn unless there was some fixed date at which we could be assured that the meetings would be held.
After that Judge Landry wrote to the Minister of Public Works as to the importance of his being examined as a witness, and request after request was made by the Minister of Public Works for an adjournment, and his convenience was consulted absolutely. At that very sitting of the commission Mr. Teed appeared as counsel for the company. At the next sitting, in the following week, the hon. member for Carleton appeared as counsel for the company and Mr. A. P. Barnhill appeared as counsel for the ex-commissioners, and on the 20th of August, three months before the Minister of Public Works was examined, he himself appeared as counsel and I happened to be at a session of the commission in which he was conducting an examination of witnesses. In view of this record, it seems to me to have been very bold on the part of the Minister of Public Works to hazard any criticism of the commission in reference to their treatment of the parties and' the privileges of counsel. But could any sane or sensible man be expected to take any stock whatever in the argument that was put up by the Minister of Public Works last night, that he, the managing director of this railway company, who had the responsibility of the company upon him more than any other man, who was familiar with its transactions from beginning to end, who negotiated practically every loan with the banks-that he, having attended the sessions of this commission, having followed,
I assume, as every other citizen did, in the press of New Brunswick, the evidence that was given, would go on the stand in the month of December and not be able to clear up those matters with reference to which there was any doubt. Would anybody believe for one moment that a gentleman of the ability of the Minister of Public Works and of his ingenuity would come forward to give evidence and then simply, because he was not asked a certain question, fail to give any information which would tend to clear up the tangled affairs of the company. But, as a matter of fact, he was asked, as I pointed out by the evidence, what became of the proceeds of the notes which were discounted on the guarantee of these bonds and which he handled, and his evidence speaks for itself. He had no record, no receipts, everything had been handed over to two men, both of whom had

gone to their majority, and he could give the commission no information or enlighten ment. Then he criticised the Attorney General of New Brunswick and the provincial secretary because forsooth they have not been able to supply the evidence which the Minister of Public Works failed to give us regarding his own manipulation of the funds of the company. In view of this evidence, the statement of the Minister of Public Works made yesterday cannot have much weight in the minds of impartial men.
Mr. O'. TURGEON (Gloucester). I have no intention, Mr. Speaker, of following the hon. gentleman who has just addressed the House through the many tortuous windings of the lengthy speech he has made. -When my hon. friend from West Elgin (Mr. (brothers) brought in a resolution yesterday to the effect that the Minister of Public Works (Mr. Pugsley) should be asked to resign or bo dismissed, he appealed to the very tender regard which the English people have always had for the character of their public men, and he hoped that the high record they had shown in that respect would not be departed from in this instance in Canadian public life. With that sentiment, I am in perfect harmony with my hon. friend and so is every true Canadian who has the honour at heart of the men to whose guidance are entrusted the destinies of this great nation. But because we are jealous of the character of our public men is no reason why we should fall into the opposite extreme and create bad impressions, not only among our own people, but in countries outside of Canada, regarding the conditions of Canadian public life. The time has come, it seems to me, when we ought to cry halt in our endeavour to achieve political success by suspecting scandals where they do not exist. Changes of government have taken place before this session. We have had recently a change of government in New Brunswick. A few years ago we had a change of government in Ontario, when the party which had held the reins of power for many years was compelled to give place to its opponent. Inquiries of all kinds have been made, commissions appointed and changes have also taken place in other provinces, but are we to expect that whenever there is a change of government, its successors must appoint commissions to find out evils in the administrations of its predecessors, and have those reports brought before the federal Parliament, as in this case, which aire foreign to our jurisdiction. My hon. friend from Elgin, to add to the solemnity of his language, made several times the declaration that he was standing for the report of a judicial commission. Well, for my part, every time I took up the report of
this judicial commission, I found it impossible, according to my own conscience and my own intelligence to reconcile my judgment with every assertion made in that report.
Fearing, perhaps, that if the name of Judge Landry did not appear at the head of that commission, there would be less respect for its findings, my hon. friend from York county made a reference to the standing of Judge Landry before the bar and the people of New Brunswick and the people of the Acadian race whose interests he has advocated so ably on so many different occasions. Well, no man in this House could have a greater respect for Judge Landry than the member for Gloucester who is now addressing you. One of my proudest recollections is to have had the good fortune, in the starting years of my public life, to have had the honour of collaborating with him in his endeavour to bring the Acadian race, by means of education to the level of the other races.
Meanwhile my respect for Judge Landry, the respect in which he is held in the province of New Brunswick and which he specially enjoys as a judge of the Supreme Court of that province, does not grant him the gift of infallibility, and his judgment with that of the other commissioners, of whom my hon. friend has spoken so highly is not necessarily to be accepted without question. When I study this report of the commission, I find myself at times unable to find'in it any evidences of the judicial attitude. I am not a lawyer or, as the saying is, the son of a lawyer-I am only the father of a lawyer;-but I appeal to every man of legal training and legal ability in this House to say if he can find in this report the judicial tone which the hon. member for west Elgin (Mr. Crothers) has endeavoured to make the House believe it had and because of which, apparently, he sought to invest it with infallibility. When I look at this document, I fail to recognize the wisdom, the lucid explanation of legal matters characteristic of my old friend Judge Landry and shown by him on many a previous occasion. I fail to see the evidences of careful thought in this Teport. I wholly fail to appreciate the conclusions resting upon assumptions which, at times, can hardly be said to be sound. I find in some of the conclusions of this report rather the characteristics of a political harangue by a stump speaker, regardless of the responsibility of his utterances. There are only a couple of points to which I wish to call attention, and which particularly struck me from the first. These points I cannot explain to myself; I believe they are enough to cast suspicion on the judicial findings of this report based upon evidence which is not at our command to-day, we are here called upon to pass judgment upon the

political life of one of the biggest men, to use the expression of my hon. friend from York (Mr. Crocket), whom the province of New Brunswick has ever produced. We are called upon to eliminate from public life a man who has been at the head of affairs in his own province, and who in this parliament has taken a foremost place and since he has been amongst us has commanded the sympathy and admiration of every hon. member. And why should we be called upon to discuss this report? The legislature to which it belongs has not seen fit to discuss it. This report was placed upon the table of the House of Assembly of the province of New Brunswick, and for thirty days thereafter that House was in session, and no action was taken, or attempted to be taken, upon the report. What is the reason that the present leader -the temporary leader I may say-of that House did not see fit to call the attention of the legislature to this report and ask the legislature to review it? But we, the great parliament of Canada, are called upon to discuss a question beyond our sphere and foreign to our duty while the legislature of New Brunswick for whose benefit this report is made, has left the discussion of it over for another year at least.
One of the first points to which I wish to call the attention of this parliament is to be found in the second paragraph of the conclusion of the report. It may be said again that I am appealing to that figure which is called a typographical error. In saying that $430,000 and $500,000 are misprints here for $43,000 and $50,000. But leave out the possibility of a typographical error, and I ask you again, if these commissioners were really alive to the responsibilities of their actions and findings, could it be possible for such an error to be allowed to pass?
On the face of it the motive of the promoters as stated was to develop the coal mines of Queens county. Responsible and respectable men from various parts of the province were obtained to lend their names as directors; and from the fact that $430,000 of the total $500,000 authorized capital was to be distributed as founders' shares, we conclude that the interested parties had visions of ultimate large profits, with absolute certainty of no personal loss.
If this was a typographical error, if the commissioners had in view merely the sum of $43,000, then there was no reason for 'visions of ultimate large profits with absolute certainty of no personal loss,' and therefore these words should not have been used in this report. Another point to which I wish to call attention is the great difference in the conditions of railway building as they exist now and existed twenty or thirty years ago. It strikes me that if I were called upon to require an estimate for the construction of a railroad Mr. TURGEON.
I would apply to engineers with experience in railroad construction; I would not be simply guided by the estimates which may have been given by engineers twenty or thirty years before the date of the construction of this 15-mile section, and conclude that because a few miles of railroad may have been built in the early days in New Brunswick for $10,000 a mile or less, to-day you can build in other sections of the province a railway for a somewhat similar amount or double the amount. We must remember that conditions of railway building have changed completely, in the cost of labour, in the cost of materials, and in every other way. There can be no possible comparison between the cost of railway building in the two periods. Thirty years ago you could get labour for the asking. I knew men in those days working on railroads in my own county for 75 and 80 cents a day, and they were paid out of the stores of the contractors whatever price the contractors chose to ask for their goods. In those days railway ties could be bought for a few cents apiece. I have the testimony of my hon. friend from Kent county who, in his early years, sold railway ties for 15, 13 and 12 cents apiece. Now I ask vou, Mr. Speaker, how much has the present Minister of Public Works or his predecessor had to pay for railway ties? Why, Sir, the prosperity of Canada has advanced the value of every possible commodity. I am safe in saying that in Kent county to-day it costs 200 per cent more to construct a railway than it did in the former period. It is also to be remembered that modern railways are much more solidly built, they are built for the purpose of transporting coal and heavy freight, whereas in former days they were built for the transportation of a few boxes of fish and a few passengers. And because this railroad has cost 100 per cent more than our friends think it should have cost, they say there has been a misappropriation of $242,000 upon that section. I say, Mr. Speaker, that such a conclusion lends itself to doubt and suspicion on the part of every honest man who wishes to come to a correct conclusion. These two points are sufficient, I think, to answer the contentions of our hon. friend opposite. It is not my intention to follow in detail the long speech of the hon. member for York, N.B. (Mr. Crocket). It was not my purpose in rising to defend the hon. the Minister of Public Works. That hon. gentleman has proved on many occasions that he is quite able to defend himself; he has proved it twice already during the present session; he proved abundantly last night that he needs no one to come to his defence when he is attacked, that he is w'ell able to stand against the calumnies of his political op-

ponents. I may say that since this debate was begun yesterday I have had some conversation with hon. members, both of this House and of the Senate, and they are by no means in sympathy with the motion of censure. I am confident that this motion does not meet with the approval of every Conservative in the Dominion of Canada, nor even of every Conservative member in this House. I am sure that the Minister of Public Works yesterday satisfied every member in this House who desires to form an impartial judgment, that as ex-officio director of this company he knew everything that wras being done; and if at one time when he had to take over this road it was found that the company had got into financial difficulties, I say it is no new thing in our province of New Brunswick. We have found in the past that when our public men were endeavouring to develop the great resources of our country they did not meet with the encouragement they were entitled to. Today we are doing everything possible to develop the west, knowing that its development will mean the progress of the east. I think that when our public men enter into schemes for the development of our province of New Brunswick, and of the Dominion of Canada, they are deserving of more encouragement than they receive That has been a trouble that has existed in the past. I hope that after all, when this matter has been thoroughly sifted, when the judgment of this parliament and of the country has been pronounced, it will be that these men who were acting in the interest of the province are deserving of more encouragement than they had received. Hon. gentlemen opposite contend that $20,000 a mile should have been sufficient to build that railway. What did we find in the legislature of New Brunswick when that very report was laid upon the table of the legislature of the local legislature?
Only two weeks ago, and since that report has been placed upon the table of the House, Premier Hazen, the leader of the government, has undertaken to give the guarantee of the province of New Brunswick for a railway with the same objects as this one	had,	that	is for the	development of an iron mine, for a railway which	traverses	the county	ofGloucester from Nipisiquit river to Bathurst, and which will assist in the development of the iron ore deposits there. He does not estimate the cost of the railway construction in New Brunswick at $5,000 or $10,000 but he gives a guarantee of $15,000 a	mile	and	this when	heknows' that	the	very	same company
are also applying to this government for a subsidy of $6,400 a mile. The fact that he is willing to give the guarantee of
his province to the extent of $15,000 a mile is an admission that railway construction in New Brunswick cannot be carried on for $8,000 or $11,000 or even for $20,000 a mile. Therefore, his action, patriotic as it may be, in giving this guarantee, which I approve of, and I have advised his supporters to second his efforts in this matter, is a contradiction of the finding of this commission as to the cost of railway construction in New Brunswick. In conclusion, I wish again to say that, whatever the vote upon the opposition side of the House may be, we, on this side of the House, feel convinced of the moral innocence of my hon. friend the Minister of Public Works. He has devoted a lifetime to the public affairs of the province of New Brunswick and in every sphere into which his activities have entered he has won a high place in _ the affection and esteem of patriotic Canadians in all parts of the Dominion who have observed his public conduct. To-day every Liberal in the province of New Brunswick, every unbiased man, to whatever party he may belong, feels, as my right hon. friend the Prime Minister said a few days ago that he felt, proud of the Minister of Public Works. Every friend of ours in the province of New Brunswick is satisfied that the Minister of Public Works has faithfully discharged the trust which was reposed in him when he was called to the federal arena to give his important services, not only to the great Liberal party to which he belongs, but to the Dominion at large. I shall consider it my duty to vote against the resolution and I feel that in doing so I shall have the confidence and support -of all of my constituents in the county of Gloucester. I feel also that I shall have the sympathy and support of the great Acadian race in the province of New Brunswick, of which the hon. member for York has spoken, which has shown its appreciation of the development of the resources of this country under a Liberal government for the last thirteen years and which has no ground to alter its views with regard to any public man because of anything contained in the report of this
commission.

Amendment (Mr. Crothers) negatived.
Motion (Mr. Fielding) agreed to, and the House went into Committee of Supply.
Immigration-salaries of agents and employees in Canada, Great Britain, and foreign countries, $200,000.


Mr. FOSTER.: Will the Minister of the Interior give us an explanation of this decrease of $100,000 as compared with the previous year? I notice that the Minister of the Interior is not ready. I am inclined to think the Minister of Finance will not make much progress between now and six o'clock and may be we might go now and come back five minutes earlier and by that time we may have the Minister of Public Works with us.


Mr. FIELDING.: I did not know that my hon. friend (Mr. Foster) was so anxious to have the Minister of Public Works here.


George Eulas Foster: Oh yes, I am.


William Stevens Fielding: I think perhaps that owing to the absence of some of the officials it would be convenient to call it six o'clock, and as the Minister of the Interior cannot be present then we will resume with the estimates of the Agricultural Department unless something unexpected occurs.


Mr. URIAH WILSON.: Could the Minister of the Interior say when we will go on with his estimates?


William Stevens Fielding: Perhaps later on in the evening.


Mr. TURGEON.: 


George Eulas Foster: Time would be saved if we knew the day before what estimates would be taken up.


William Stevens Fielding: The expectation was that the debate would continue until the evening and the officials are not present.


George Eulas Foster: Is there any reason why the debate did not continue?


William Stevens Fielding: Yes, I understand that several hon. gentlemen opposite who intended to speak were so absolutely knocked out by the hon. member for Gloucester (Mr. Turgeon) that they abandoned their case.


George Eulas Foster: I am very glad we have official intimation that the answer of the government to the attack of my hon. friend from York (Mr. Crocket) is to be found in the speech of the hon, member for Gloucester.
At six o'clock, Committee took recess.
After Recess.
Committee resumed at eight o'clock.
For the development of the live stock industry, $52,000.


Hon. SYDNEY FISHER (Minister of Agriculture).: This is the usual item for the live stock division of my department. The reduction of $13,000 is due to the fact that a considerable number of employees in the city of Ottawa, having been brought into the inside service, have been transferred to civil government. Otherwise the item is the same as that of last year.


Mr. GEORGE TAYLOR.: I think I must, on behalf of the agricultural constituencies, protest against the Minister of Agriculture waiting until a week or ten days of the end of the session before bringing down his estimates. I do not think it is fair to the farmers. We should be in a position to spend several days in criticising this department and getting information. If we are to get through by the 19th, as it is intended to try to do, we cannot do more than ask for a little information on one or two items. I trust that the minister will next session see that his estimates shall be the first taken up, so that those representing agricultural constituencies will have a chance of getting as much information as possible.


Sydney Arthur Fisher: I may say that I tried to get on with my estimates in the early part of the session, but hon. gentlemen opposite wanted to put them off, and did not allow me to proceed. Then, other work was taken up by other ministers, and I had not a chance to go on with my estimates. I can assure my hon. friend that I will give him all the information that is
asked from me. In fact, he is one of those who on some occasions have stopped me giving information. I have been rather accused of deluging the House with information, and I am ready to do it again. I can assure my hon. friend that he need not hesitate to ask questions. If I have the information, I will give it; if I have not got it, I will get it as soon as possible.


George Taylor: I can only say that if we allowed the hon. minister to take the time he usually takes in giving information, we would not prorogue on the 19th, which the Prime Minister is very anxious that we should try to do, and which we on this side have agreed to try to do, and we always live up to our agreements.


Mr. J. D. REID.: I understand that there was about $75,000 expended last year on developing the live stock industry?


Sydney Arthur Fisher: About $65,000, less $4,000 or $5,000 that was unexpended.


Mr. LAKE.: Is the whole of this reduction due to transferring the employees to another vote?


Sydney Arthur Fisher: Yes.


Richard Stuart Lake: I see that the total vote for the Department of Agriculture is reduced by about $380,000. Does that mean the same thing?


Sydney Arthur Fisher: Practically, yes.


Richard Stuart Lake: I think it would be a pity if the votes were cut down. There should rather be a greater expenditure on this particular service.


Sydney Arthur Fisher: We expect to have to pay a very much less amount for compensation for the slaughter of animals, which as far as I can remember at the moment is the only direct reduction. I am asking just as much generally for agricultural work, and in some instances a little more than last year, as the work extends.


Mr. BLAIN.: Will the minister explain how the money was expended last year?


Sydney Arthur Fisher: I have here a general detail of the expenditure. For British Columbia we allotted about $3,000, which was made up as follows: For farmers' institutes and stock judging, $500; for annual fair, including stallion show and auction sale of thoroughbred stock, $650; for expert judges at fairs, $300; for development of the sheep industry, $600; and for a general representative of the department in the province, $1,000; making $3,000 for British Columbia. In Alberta, a total of $2,668, the items are practically the same as those in British Columbia, but a little larger. In Saskatchewan, $2,668, in Manitoba the same kind of thing. In Ontario a lesser amount, only $1,200.


Richard Blain: How is that?


Sydney Arthur Fisher: Because its provincial government does so much on these lines that there is no demand for us to do that kind of work. The work is done and the farmers are receiving the benefit and we are able to economize in that province. In Quebec about $2,500. That is partly to help the live stock association. It is unfortunate perhaps that there are in Quebec associations which are not affiliated to the General Dominion Association. Still they are doing good work in their own province; and if they were not kept up, there would be a very serious damage to a very important industry in that province. I am obliged to give them assistance to the extent of $600. We have also taken upon ourselves to do a good deal more in the way of institute work in the province of Quebec among the French Canadian farmers because the provincial government does not do as much and here is a great demand for assistance and addresses. We are therefore spending a larger amount there than in the other provinces, where a great deal of that kind of work is done by the provincial authorities, and the language being different makes the cost a little more. In New Brunswick, $1,000; in Nova Scotia, $1,100. We give to the Maritime Special Breeders' Association, which holds a winter fair in Amherst, New Brunswick, assistance to the extent of a little over $2,500. Then we have a special work for the encouragement of what is called a record of performance among dairy stock. This was inaugurated two years ago by my department to encourage the breeders of thoroughbred dairy cows to test their animals and establish a record of performance. That is a very useful work. The stock breeders have taken advantage of it very greatly and we have been obliged to increase the expenditure. To-day we have three men, whose whole time is taken up by it. It is a work which requires a government official so as to insure absolute confidence in the test. We began with only one man but we had so many demands for the test that we had to add another. A third has to be added and I think shortly more still. This shows that the people are taking an interest in the work and that it is effective. We also publish reports of the live stock branch and have some general expenses for travelling and office expenses, and we also deal in this branch with what are called national live stock records. A few years ago there were thoroughbred records of the different kinds of animals in the different provinces, and my department undertook, after discussions with the different breeders of thoroughbred live stock, to establish national records. To-day we have national records, recognized, not only all Mr. FISHER.
over Canada but outside of Canada, as absolutely trustworthy and these certificates are received in foreign countries with confidence. That costs about $10,000 a year. We also do a little in the way of developing and encouraging the sale of thoroughbred stock from one province to another. In the old days the only good market, if not the only market, for the thoroughbred breeders in Ontario was in the United States. There was a great demand for thoroughbred stock in the west and the east when my department undertook to bring together the purchasers and sellers and give them facilities for the transfer of stock. That takes $1,500 or $1,600. We have besides a general representative in Manitoba and the west, whose salary and office expenses come to about $1,600. I wish that time would allow me to give a more complete description of the work, because I am rather proud of it, and I think it is doing good for our farmers and live stock breeders.


Richard Stuart Lake: Has anything been done with regard to the removal of the cattle embargo in England this last year?


Sydney Arthur Fisher: No.


Richard Stuart Lake: Has the minister taken anything into consideration in connection with a project mooted in the west for the shipment of chilled meat rather than shipping it in live condition?


Sydney Arthur Fisher: Within the last few days I have had representations made me by some gentlemen from Manitoba, who propose a very large scheme indeed and ask government assistance. The scheme, as submitted to me, was so large, I had' to tell them frankly it could not be considered. They have modified it materially and propose a smaller scheme, which is still a very large one. At this stage of the session, it will be impossible for "me to pass the necessary legislation, but I will carefully examine into the matter, and if between now and next fall a more economical scheme can be worked out, I shall be very glad to Tecommend assistance. I believe that the establishment of a dead meat export trade from Canada would be very valuable to our Canadian stock producers. There are, however, difficulties in the way which so far no one has been able to overcome. Whether this scheme will overcome these .difficulties or not, remains to be seen.


Richard Stuart Lake: This is of the greatest importance to every raiser of live stock in Canada, and I am glad to hear the minister declare that he will take it into his consideration. He should certainly try and evolve some scheme which will enable us to put our meat to the very best advantage on the markets of the old world. I am sorry to hear that nothing was done to

have the embargo on our live stock removed. It seems to me we ought to be taking steps all the time to have it removed or have some alternative scheme adopted such as this dead meat scheme, so that our stock raisers may get something far nearer the value of their stock than they are now getting.


Mr. STAPLES.: Has the Minister of Agriculture had any communication from the live stock association of Manitoba asking for assistance to ship their- stock to the exhibition at Seattle during the coming summer? I have had a letter from the association which I presume the minister has received also and therefore shall not read it. We have not bothered the minister much during the session, but those interested in agriculture think that this great industry is not getting the consideration it ought, and I regret very much that the hon. minister held up his estimates as usual to this late hour. I believe the minister (Mr. Fisher), from the way he looks at me at this moment is in a better humour than he was just before six o'clock when he took his hat and hurriedly left the building. I am glad that he has come back and that he appears to foe in as philosophical a state of mind as he does to-night. I hope he will use his influence to get for the agriculturists of this country a due proportion of the appropriations for the development of their great industry. On a previous occasion this session, I accused the minister of sitting back quietly and allowing other ministers to dip their hands into the treasury and get large appropriations for their departments, while the Department of Agriculture was allowed to suffer. I have pointed out to him, and I would do the same to-night, that nearly all the money that is paid into the treasury comes from the farmers of this country, and yet they are not getting the consideration they are entitled to. I hope the minister will see his way to granting to the agricultural associations of Manitoba the small request they make for an appropriation of $7,500 to enable them to take their stock to this great exhibition which is to take place in the near future. It would be a great boon not only to the prairie provinces but to the whole of Canada. No doubt, the minister will answer that these appropriations must be made from the federal standpoint and that Manitoba stands in the same position as other provinces in relation to such claims as this. But I think he will appreciate the fact that, owing to the agricultural situation of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta, they have not been able to take advantage of the appropriations made to them on previous occasions to assist exhibitors to the same degree as other provinces lying close to where these exhibitions have
184i
been held. I hope the minister is in good humour to-night and will give us the consideration we deserve.


Sydney Arthur Fisher: My hon. friend (Mr. Staples) seems to think that I was not in a good humour this afternoon. I was in a very good humour; I was out at the Experimental Farm where I like to be. I left the House under the impression that hon. members were going to continue the debate for some time; I was told, in fact, that it might continue until two or three o'clock in the morning. When I came back, I was surprised, and, I confess, pleased, to find that the question was closed, and that something else might be taken up. I am consequently in a very good humour because this debate is closed and we are able to go on with the proper work of the session, instead of it being interrupted in the way it has been. The hon. gentleman advises me to get larger appropriations for the benefit of the farmers. I know that hon. gentlemen opposite often suggest individual increases of expenditure; but, unfortunately, the sum total has to be considered, and the same hon. gentlemen object very much to the increase there. But individual items cannot be increased without increasing the sum total. Therefore, I have to Tegard the treasury of the country and the criticisms which are levelled at the government as a whole and try to keep the sum total down as low as I can. If I am successful in doing that, my hon. friends must not criticise me' too hard for my success in economy. At the same time, I think I have shown that I do not hesitate to ask for money for agricultural expenditure when necessary, and when I can see my way clear to spend it foT the real advantage of the farmers. The increase in the agricultural expenditure, which is so great, is the evidence of what I have done. The hon. member asked me with regard to communication from the live stock men of Manitoba regarding live stock exhibits at Seattle. I shall have to answer the hon. gentleman much as I did the secretary of the association. It has been known for a long time that Canada was going to exhibit at Seattle-the announcement was made long ago. All preparations for this exhibit were made four or five months ago. Money was put into the estimates for this exhibition, and the money was allotted to the different parts of the work in connection with it. It is only within the last few weeks that the Manitoba farmers have waked up, apparently, and the request has been forwarded to me by the secretary of the association. As I have said, all the money voted for the exhibition has been allotted, and there is none available for the exhibit of live stock. I must say, however, that I do not consider that a matter to cause us very deep regret.

Why? For two reasons: In the first place, the quarantine arrangements on the United States border are such that the sending of live stock to the exhibition at Seattle would be almost impossible. I do not think any live stock owners in Canada would care to undergo the restrictons which the quarantine regulations of the United States impose on them in sending their live stock to Seattle. Hon. gentlemen may say that these quarantine regulations may be suspended or some modification of them may be reached. Well, I have information that the authorities of that exhibition have been trying to secure a suspension of the regulations or some modification of them, and have failed.


William D. Staples: Did the hon. gentleman (Mr. Fisher) as Minister of Agriculture, endeavour to have them set aside?


Sydney Arthur Fisher: No, I did not, for I think it has been shown in times past that that has been done by the exhibition authorities. We have never meddled in the matter. And I might say that of late years the representations which I have made to the department at Washington to modify their quarantine regulations have not been very successful, and the quarantine regulations against animals from Canada going across the border have been made more and more severe of late years. Another thing: that exhibition is an exhibition for the Pacific slope. They have practically very little if any market on that Pacific slope for Canadian live stock. And I venture to think that the majority of the breeders of Canada, whether in the west or in the east, would not consider it worth their while-and if they did make the attempt it would not be very profitable-to exhibit at Seattle. Again, to allow an exhibit at Seattle and give that assistance which the hon. gentleman hints at for the province of Manitoba, would mean that that assistance would have to be given to the other provinces as well.


William D. Staples: I understand it is asked for the three provinces.


Sydney Arthur Fisher: If I were to give assistance in this resDect to farmers of the west,
I would have to give similar assistance to farmers in the east. Looking back on what has been done in years gone by for this work, I could not undertake to give the assistance asked for without getting at least $20,000 to make me sure to be able to meet all demands, and I think it would be run up to $25,000 or more. That is equal to about one-third of the expenditure anticipated at the Seattle exhibition, and I could not, with justification, honestly and conscientiously ask parliament to grant me the appropriation for that purpose, because I do not think the results Mr. FISHER.
would be commensurate with the expenditure.
Mr. STAPLES, The hon. minister (Mr. Fisher) seems to have given this subject consideration, not only at present, but at former times, and appears to have come to the conclusion that the agricultural association which has written this letter has not considered all the points before writing. I do not know personally whether they have or not. But my knowledge of the farmers who are identified with this association is that they are very careful to consider all these points before they will make a request the nature of which is indicated in this letter. However, since the minister has told us that he does not see his way clear to make this small grant, 1 suppose the farmers will have to be content to go without the advantage they would have, had they been able to get their stock to that exhibition. While I am on my feet I want to ask the minister if he has given any further consideration to the request that has been made by Mr. J. R. Ryan of Montreal with reference to disseminating through the Dominion certain thoroughbred stock, stallions for breeding purposes. The minister knows that we had Mr. Ryan up here after the convention a short time' ago, and the minister said he would take a little time to consider the request which was made by Mr. Ryan's company. I would like to know what conclusion he has come to. As I listened to Mr. Ryan I thought he had a proposition from which, if the government saw fit to give it a little support, the breeders throughout the country especially would reap some benefit.


Sydney Arthur Fisher: My hon. friend I think was present when I received Mr. Ryan and some of his friends regarding that matter of breeding. The proposition was one which sounded very attractive, and I can understand how attractive it would appear to many farmers throughout the country who would keep the stallions and take the fees which would be paid for their service. I was not at all surprised that a large number of petitions in favour of the proposition were signed by people all over the country._ But I myself looked upon the proposition with a little suspicion because of its very attractiveness and apparent lack of reason why a group of gentlemen should make such an offer. However, I received the deputation along with several gentlemen of the House, and we had a little discussion on it. As a result, I asked Mr. Ryan to make me a definite proposition. .The proposition which he submitted at that time was one for an assistance of $50,000 to be paid to the National Bureau cf Breeding, in consideration of their dis-

tributing 100 thoroughbred stallions in Canada, in other words, at the rate of $500 a horse, they to provide the animals and look after them. I asked Mr. Ryan why he needed that assistance. He had stated to us that he got the horses for little or nothing, and he did not want consideration for the price of the horses. I asked him, therefore, to submit to me a scheme in detail, and he did submit a scheme on a smaller scale, asking for $25,000 a year subsidy for this particular association, in consideration of providing 50 thoroughbred stallions to be distributed over the country, and to be put into the hands of the farmers who would receive the fees, and they would charge $10 a service for the horses. I asked why they needed this $25,000 from the government. He submitted .to me a scheme of their expenses. When I came to examine that scheme I found it on so large a scale that I thought I could understand the proposition. I knew perfectly well that through the officers of my department and through the machinery which I had, all the work Mr. Ryan and his friends were proposing to do for $25,000 a year, could be done for about one-third or less by the department. I was not prepared therefore to pay that liberal subsidy for this purpose.
But I found other difficulties. This was a scheme for the purpose of spreading English thoroughbred blood in the country. Now, no man in Canada is more appreciative of the value of English thoroughbred blood among the horses of Canada than myself. I think it would be a very good thing indeed to get a considerable infusion of that blood into the horseflesh of the country, and I would do a good deal to accomplish that. At the same time I cannot help remembering, as a minister, that if the country subsidizes thoroughbred stallions we are creating a keen competition to the owners of other stallions in Canada, that the owners of hackneys, the standard breed horses and others of the lighter kind, would be injured by such subsidizing of the English thoroughbred stock; and if they felt so injured, they would be perfectly justified, and I might expect they would ask me to do just as much on behalf of the other breeds. I realized that such an arrangement as this for the propagation of English thoroughbred stock in Canada would necessarily and legitimately lead to the calling for a similar expenditure on behalf of the hackney horses, and on behalf of the standard bred horses, and perhaps some other breeds, and I could not see my way to recommend to parliament an expenditure of this character. Some people may say that it would not interfere with the other horses. But it stands to reason that if to-day, in
a particular neighbourhood, there is a pure bred hackney stallion and no other pure bred stallion, and you subsidize a pure bred English stallion, he would certainly take away some of the custom of the hackney stallions, and the hackney breeders would be justified in saying that the country's money was being used to hurt them; and if that money was paid out for the one class of stock it ought to be paid out for the others, and I would not be able to answer their objection. Under these circumstances I could not see my way to accepting the proposition that was made, and I wrote to Mr. Ryan saying that I could not entertain his proposition.


Mr. BARR.: I would like to ask the minister if he has taken any steps to provide accommodation for the housing of cattle when they reach Liverpool. Cattlemen and shippers complain that they experience great difficulty in that respect when they reach Liverpool. They frequently cannot find accommodatioh for their cattle during the time that they are effecting a sale. A great many of them think that the gov-ernmen should take steps to remove that difficulty. I am sorry to see that this estimate is reduced this year by $15,000.


Sydney Arthur Fisher: I have explained that this is not a reduction, that this amount represents the salaries which have been transferred to civil government in Ottawa, and that the expenditure is the same.


John Barr: I am glad to know that it it not a reduction. Still, the expenditure is very small and we do not find that the whole reduction has been very large.
Mr. RlSHER. No.


John Barr: The whole reduction of
$585,000 is not due to the change with regard to the salaries?


Sydney Arthur Fisher: The reduction of $380,000 is on account of exhibitions.
' Mr. BARR. I think there should be no reduction as far as agriculture is concerned. We find that the Minister of Militia and Defence (Sir Frederick Borden) is able to obtain some $7,000,000, while the Department of Agriculture is only obtaining less than a million, and if you take away archives, patent records, census and statistics, which are certainly not for the benefit of agriculturists any more than any other class in Canada, you take away about half of the appropriation. Under these circumstances I quite agree with the last speaker that the agriculturists are not receiving justice at the hands of this government. I believe that the vote should be increased, notwithstanding the condition of the money market. I think that almost any other branch of the government could better af-

ford to suffer than the Department of Agriculture. There is certainly a reduction that I am glad to know is not as bad as it looks.


Sydney Arthur Fisher: My hon. friend made a suggestion with regard to the receipt of Canadian cattle at Liverpool. I do not think he quite understands the situation. When Canadian cattle land at Liverpool they are obliged to go into government lairages, where the imperial government provides the accommodation and where the cattle are slaughtered. I have never heard that there was any want of accommodation for cattle arriving in any part of England. We have no control over these lairages. The imperial authorities maintain them entirely and Canadian cattle must go into them. In regard to the comparison of expenditure between the Department of Agriculture and other departments, I must not say anything in defence of my colleagues, but I do not think that the Department of Agriculture*!.? suffering.


John Barr: I suppose the minister has done all he could to relieve the situation which requires that cattle shall be slaughtered upon arriving in England?


Sydney Arthur Fisher: Yes.


Richard Blain: I will take this opportunity to direct the minister's attention to the hog raising industry in Canada, which, I think, would properly come under this item. My hon. friend is the master of the agriculture interests of Canada


Sydney Arthur Fisher: The servant.


Richard Blain: Well, we do not always think that he is the servant. Sometimes he is the master. I had the opportunity of presenting some very important figures to the House during a former discussion this session as to the condition of the hog raising industry. My hon. friend had before him a deputation of the Swinebreeders' Association of Canada complaining of the condition of the hog trade and pointing out that while there was a large importation of hogs into Canada a very small amount of hog products were exported to the United States. They also brought the condition of the tariff to his attention. The tariff rate on hogs coming into Canada is two cents a pound, while the United States tariff rate is five cents a pound. Last year we inported over $1,000,000 worth more than we exported and it seems to me that this would be a legitimate question for my hon. friend to turn his attention to. When the Swinebreeders' Assocation, representing the farmers of this country, point out that the condition of the hog industry is such that it requires special protection this government should devote some attention to it. It may be that it would require ' Mr. BARR.
a sum to be placed in the estimates to make a complete examination into the condition of the trade in Canada. Perhaps my hon. friend could take some portion of this money and devote to it. We have some converts on the subject and if my hon. friend will not listen to myself or to any hon. gentleman on this side of the House he may listen to some of his own friends. This session we have the hon. member for Wentworth (Mrj. 'Sealey) and the hon. member for South Oxford (Mr. Schell) as converts to the idea of affording protection to the swine industry of Canada. The hon. member for Wentworth, in the early part of the session, placed a resolution on the Order Paper calling upon this government to increase the duty on hog products. My hon. friend, of course, withdrew it, but he ventured to suggest to the government that it was the duty of the government to comply with the request of the Swinebreeders' Association and he was endorsed by the hon. member who represents South Oxford, also a supporter of the government. My hon. friend is asking the committee to vote a considerable sum of money for the improvement of the stock industry in Canada. While my hon. friend is a supporter of a government that is supposed to be giving some protection to the industries of the country, I hope he will not forget the farmers. My hon. friend has an opportunity now to do something for the farmers by complying with the request of the Swinebreeders' Association and it seems to me that it would be an opportune time to place, a sum in the estimates, or see that some portion of this money is used to make a thorough investigation of the hog industry so that the government will know whether it is in the best interests of Canada that a higher protection should be placed upon hog products. My hon. friend had a special opportunity during last year. We had a great presidential election in the United States in which the tariff question occupied a foremost nlace. My hon. friend has treated this House in days gone by to statements of what he was able to do with the United States government. This ought to be an opportune time for the Minister of Agriculture to use his influence with the United States government, and if he is not able to persuade his own government to increase the duty on pork to four cents a pound perhaps he may be able to persuade the United States government to decrease their duty on pork so that the farmers of Canada might have an equal opportunity with the farmers of the United States to share in the growth of this industry. I suppose the minister will have to tell the committee that he has naid no attention to the revision of the tariff in the United States. When he was in opposition he told us that it would only take a moment

to open the United States market to the farmers of Canada, but probably he has not lately been reading ancient history. My hon. friend shakes his head at that, but I would impress upon him that it will not do for this government to profess that they are the friends of the farmers when they turn deaf ears to deputations of farmers who come to them, and when they refuse the demands of their own supporters in this House that the farmers be given equal justice under the tariff. If my hon. friend does not prove his _own statement that he is the greatest friend of the farmers, then the farmers must turn a deaf ear to the hon. gentleman when he comes to Halton and other places and tells them of all he has been doing for them. Let the Minister of Agriculture tell us now whether he intends to do anything for the farmers in connection with the hog raising industry, and whether he will expend some of this vote in finding out whether the Swinebreeders' Association were right when they told the government that the Canadian market is being flooded with pork from the United States. These gentlemen did not ask that the duty on pork should be five cents a pound as it is in the United States, our own tariff being two cents, but they made the humble request that the Canadian duty shall be four cents. I am surprised that the Minister of Agriculture has nothing in the estimates for the purpose of helping this industry and that he has no comforting assurance to give now to the farmers of Canada.


George Taylor: I wish to point out-!


Sydney Arthur Fisher: Will the hon. gentleman allow me to answer the hon. member for Peel?


George Taylor: No, I want to take your part and to convince the hon. member for Peel that the Minister of Agriculture has done something for the hog raising industry.


William Stevens Fielding: Anything about blouses? [DOT]


George Taylor: Now, if the hon. gentleman from Peel will look at the Auditor General's Report page D-43 he will find that the Minister of Agriculture has done something for the hog industry. He expended last year $44,656 on the development of the live stock industry and out of that vote he paid a gentleman named C. Beaudry at Ottawa $13.50 for 18 hours work in drawing plans for piggeries. It will be seen that the Minister of Agriculture is making a start in assisting the hog industry. He paid $13.50 for plans for piggeries and the rest of it he paid out to his friends for their time and travelling expenses in parading up and down the country. Here are some of the items we find here:	F. Charlan, travelling expenses,
February 27 to March 13, 1908, $50.75.
A.	T. Charron, expenses attending meetings $106.85. George W. Clemons, expenses, $156.33. E. B. Elderkin, Amherst, travelling expenses, $346.83 and services 335 days at $3 a day, and so it goes on, and he gives $13.50 to his friend for drawing plans for piggeries. That is what the minister is doing for the benefit of the swine breeders of Canada.


William D. Staples: Now that the hon. member (Mr. Geo. Taylor) has pointed out what the Minister of Agriculture has done in the way of providing plans for piggeries, and seeing that the Minister of Public Works has just returned to the government probably the Minister of Agriculture will put in a vote for the construction of some of these institutions.


Sydney Arthur Fisher: My hon. friend from Leeds (Mr. Taylor) reads an item or two from the Auditor General's Report and he ignores all the others, but I do not take him very seriously. The work of the live stock division of the department in the country at large has been so beneficial that I can leave it in the hands of the farmers much better than I can in the hands of the man who makes the agricultural implements for the farmer and who is well protected therefor. My hon. friend from Peel alludes to a deputation of swine breeders who came to Ottawa, and I may tell him that I sympathize very much with those who are engaged in that industry. There is no doubt that the industry has been suffering of late years. Representations were made as to a proposed remedy and my hon. friend (Mr. Blain) alludes to it as higher protection. I will tell my hon. friend frankly and freely that I do not consider higher protection a panacea for all the evils in the world.


Richard Blain: The deputation that waited on the minister, after consultation with the farmers of Ontario, decided upon the remedy-and I take it they know what is best for their own industry-and the remedy they suggested was an increased duty on pork so as to make it about equal to the United States tariff.


Sydney Arthur Fisher: That may be and these gentlemen like most people in Canada and elsewhere look at the question from their own standpoint.


John Barr: Quite right.


Sydney Arthur Fisher: My hon. friend says 'quite right.' He seems to be of the opinion that it is well if possible to raise prejudices between the different classes and the people who are engaged in the different industries in the country. To me that is

not the proper statesmanship to apply to the solution of difficult questions. I think that if a remedy can he found for any particular industry which will not hurt any body else, it is much better than to adopt a remedy which does hurt other people. My hon. friend (Mr. Blain) says that higher protection would be the panacea, but I tell him frankly that I do not agree with him.


Richard Blain: Then my hon. friend differs from the farmers.


Sydney Arthur Fisher: I do sometimes. There are farmers and farmers; there are some farmers who think one thing and there are some farmers who think another thing, and I thank God that in Canada all the farmers as a class do not set their interests against the interests of other people in the community, but believe that the industrial classes and the consuming classes as well as the farmers have to be considerd in dealing with such questions. I am glad that I belong to the class that thinks that way and acts that way in the public interests. My hon. friend seems to think that is the only remedy-higher protection. It matters not whom it hits or how much it hits the rest of the community. That I do not consider to be true national policy or true statesmanship. I think it is well that any class in the community should be helped and that in helping that class we should at the same time help the rest of the community. The farmers of Canada have generally condemned the policy of exclusive protection for a few people at election after election. My hon. friend knows well that when this government brought down their tariff, the essence of which is not protection, he and his friends allowed it to be passed without daring to put themselves on record by challenging a vote of the House on a single item. Did my hon. friend and his friend two weeks ago, when the Finance Minister brought down his tariff, move for any changes in it ? No. They allowed it to he passed unanimously by this House, and it has gone out not only to this country but to the world that the Fielding tariff is the best tariff Canada has ever had, and I venture to think that in the future as in the past the electors of Canada, especially the farmers, will support the government which brought that tariff down and put it on the statute book of this country. My hon. friend talks about the swine-breeders. I am ready to help the swine-breeders, very ready. They are an intelligent people; they have been doing good things not only for the swine-breeders of Canada, but for the people of Canada at large. It has been only since the first tariff of Mr. Fielding was brought down in 1896 that the j bacon industry of Canada has grown J Mr. FISHER.
to any appreciable extent; and it is through the information that has been spread abroad through the country to a large extent that the swine-breeders of Canada have been able to produce in the last ten years over $100,000,000 of swine products for export. I am ready to go further and continue that policy of education and information, which helps not only the people concerned, but everybody in the country. I do not wish to raise the price of the pork which the labouring classes of this oountry have to buy. I wish to help the farmers of the country to produce the pork so that they can sell it at present prices and make a splendid profit on those prices.


Richard Blain: Will my hon. friend permit a question?


Sydney Arthur Fisher: No. I wish to continue my argument unbroken, and my hon. friend can argue against me when I am done. I believe that the best profits in every industry are made by cheapening the cost of production rather than by raising the cost of the article. When you raise the cost of the article, you hurt the consumer of the article, though you may possibly for the moment increase the profits of the producer, but when you lower the cost of production, you give the producer his profits without raising the cost to the consumer, and therefore the consumer is not hurt. In this particular industry of swine breeding and pork production our greatest rivals are the Danes and the Irish. They have beaten us in the English market in tire sale of pork products. Now, instead of raising the prices of pork products to the people of Canada, who have to buy them, I want to find out how the Danes and the Irish succeed in beating our people in the British market, and for that purpose I have asked and have obtained permission from my colleagues to bring down a vote in the supplementary estimates for the purpose of sending a special commission of farmers interested in the swine breeding industry of Canada, to Ireland and Denmark to investigate the methods of production in those countries. My hon. friend seems to think that I am not taking care of the interests of the swine breeders in Canada because we do not bring down a higher tariff. I believe I am doing what is better-better for the swine breeders themselves, and certainly better for the whole consuming public of Canada; and I believe it is better than my hon. friend's sole panacea for all the commercial troubles of the country-higher and higher protection. My hon. friend alluded to the United States elections. I watched those elections with interest, because anything that goes on in the United States is of interest to us in Canada, and also because conditions in the United States are similar to conditions in

this country. If my hon. friend had watched those elections closely, he would have seen that the tariff was one of the most important issues, and he would have seen lately that President Taft declared that he was elected in November last to revise the tariff downwards and not upwards, not to increase protection, l?ut to decrease protection. If there is any lesson to be learned from the success of the Republican party in the last elections, it is that even that party, rabid and extreme protectionists as they are, were obliged to promise the electors that they would reduce their tariff and not increase it. If this is the case, the idea that my hon. friend brings forward, that we must remedy all our evils in this country by raising our tariff higher and higher on everything, is not following the example of the United States, but is something quite different; and I believe that what I am prepared to do for the swine breeders of Canada is more in their interest, more in the interest of consumers. and better altogether for the country. I am prepared to do that. I have not ignored their demands. One of their demands was that a commission should be sent to Denmark and Ireland, and I am glad to be able to say to the House and the country that the government are going to bring down an estimate for that purpose, and I trust that hon. gentlemen opposite, who are so solicitous at the moment for the interests of the swine breeders, will assist us in passing that item unanimously.


David Henderson: It is rather surprising to me that under an item in the estimates we should branch off on a discussion of the tariff; but as the Minister of Agriculture has set us such a good example, perhaps we had better deal with that question for a while. The hon. gentleman's policy, I admit, is a policy of importation, as against the old Ipolicy of production, which existed prior to his coming into office. The tariff of the Liberal-Conservative government was framed to produce all we could in Canada, but the hon. gentleman seems to think that the proper poliey is to promote importation. Now, I am not going to advocate any increased protection. I do not need to do so, because the hon. Minister of Agriculture and his associates have done that for me. I do not know that we have ever had a higher protectionist government in power in Canada since 1878 than we have to-day. I had occasion a short time ago to enumerate a number of articles-and I gave only a very few, though I might have gone on by the half hour enumerating article after article-on which they raised the tariff away and beyond what the Conservative party ever thought of. What induced the hon. gentleman to agree two years ago that a woman's shoe should be raised from 25 to 30 per cent, and how can he say he
is a free trader or a low tariff man? Why does he tax the women on their shoes? Is it because he himself has no women to look after? Even if he has not, he ought to have some regard for those who have. He ought to have some regard for those who have wives and daughters. But he says: ' Let the women pay the duty; a tariff for revenue only is what I want.' All he thinks of is the money. On ladies' furs, cloaks, muffs and tippets he has increased the duty from 25 to 30 per cent, and then he tells us he is a low tariff man; but if raising the tariff makes him a low tariff man, the hon. gentleman must be in a class by himself. Even the porridge we get for breakfast had to be increased in duty in order to satisfy his low tariff proclivities; and now he wants to make us believe that if we have a higher tariff on pork products, that will increase the price to the consumer, and he says he is looking after the consumer. Let me tell him that if we can increase the raising of hogs and their products in this country, we will do more to cheapen the market for the consumer than anything else we can do. But so long as you permit hog products to come in and invade our market in such a way that our producers are driven out of business, our consumers will have to pay high prices for these products. I have a statement here prepared by officers of the hon. minister's own government-men who speak with authority. Do they say that food products are cheaper to-day than they were under the Conservative regime? Quite the reverse. Let me give a few illustrations. Fresh meat and bacon, they say, have increased 45 to 50 per cent the last ten years; bacon has advanced 45 per cent; beef, 50 per cent; veal, 57 per cent; mutton, 55 per cent. Does this show the hon. gentleman has done anything for the consumer? Has he done anything for the producer? We are not producing the quantity of hogs and bacon that we did many years ago. By promoting a policy of importation, the hon. gentleman, instead of causing a large number of hogs to be raised and a larger quantity of bacon to be supplied, has reduced the production. But what does he care so long as he gets a revenue? Promote importation, kill off the industries of the country if you can, never mind the farmer. The hon. gentleman was kind enough to come to my county during the last election and make a strong appeal to the electors to reject me, who, though not a farmer myself, have always advocated the interests of the farmers, who has always stood by them in advocating protection of their fruits and their grains and in urging the adoption of a farmers' policy all along the line. The hon. minister went all the way to a town in the heart of my

county to address a mass meeting. About 400 were present, 200 of whom were Conservatives who went out of curiosity to see what kind of a man that was who would advise them to take a man from Toronto who knew nothing about farming and elect him as their representative instead of one who for 20 odd years had advocated their interests. Not only did he do that, but he went to South Ontario and opposed the late representative of that county, a representative live stock man, and urged the people to turn him down and put in a man who had no claim to represent them in parliament. 1 am not finding fault with the hon. minister for having done that, but if he has no sympathy with the farmers, why does he not say so? He went to East Elgin and endeavoured to defeat a gen, tleman who was aiding the farmers by buying their products as largely as any man in this country. His policy is importation. Get your hog products, bacon and hams and pork from the United States, if you do not import these things, we will get no revenue. That is his policy. What he is looking after is customs revenue, and he has no care for the farmers. We do not want class legislation, he says, which will help one class and hurt another. Well, I undertake to say that legislation which will help the farmer will help the business man. The more you reduce the amount of pork produced in this country the higher the price. That is fully born out by this statement prepared by officers of the government.


Sydney Arthur Fisher: What is that?


David Henderson: It is a statement prepared by the civil servants, officers of this government. It is thoroughly authentic. The hon. minister based his Civil Service Bill on it. I think the minister had better just make up his mind that the farmers have some rights and that it is not for him to cry them down on every occasion and say that they come to him as a class and want something for themselves which will hurt others. I do not think that this will hurt others. Let him give a little consideration to the swine breeders.
I do not know what their requests are. I am not going to tell him what he should do, but I think something should be done. He complained in Halton that I had advocated a higher tariff on hog products. Well, what do you think the people said? They said, 'He is the man we want, we will stick to him ' and they elected me by a larger majority than ever. The minister had better take warning. The farmers know what they want and are not going to be turned away by any such representation.
I am convinced that a tariff which would Mr. HENDERSON.
give _ a little better encouragement to the hog industry would be a very good thing. But that- question is not before us now, and I am not here to advocate it to-night. I would be glad, however, to .see that done. My impression is that it would increase the production of hogs and their products, and if you could increase that- production by 25 per cent that would reduce the price to the consumer; and instead of having bacons and hams increase 45 to 50 per cent over what they sold at ten years ago, the consumer would get them at a lower price. If the farmer could sell twice as much hog products, he would make more. Now he is not carrying on the business to. the same extent simnly because he does not find it remunerative.
Now, the minister has my ideas on that question. But I do not think he has any reasons to cast reflections upon the farmers and to say they want class legislation. They are a class and a large class, and they have just as good a right to have their class considered as any other in the community. I think anything that will help the farmers will help every other class, the manufacturers, business men, private individuals and even the gentlemen who prepared this* document, for I believe it will be the means of increasing the supplies in the market and so lowering the price,-it will be better for all classes. In considering the live stock industry along these lines, the minister will be doing more for the farmers and all other classes.


Sydney Arthur Fisher: When I visited the county of Halton, I did my hon. friend (Mr. Henderson) the credit of saying he was one of the most convinced, consistent and outspoken protectionists in Canada.


David Henderson: I notice that the hon. minister did that, and that he misrepresented me. He did not tell the truth about me. I am not referring to what he says now, but here is what I charge him with : he declared that I had made the statement in the House that I would put a Chinese wall about this country. If the hon. gentleman had been fair, he would have stated, what I think he knew, that that remark was made with reference to agricultural nroducts, and agricultural products alone, but he gave the impression in that mass meeting that that was the kind of protection that I demanded for everything, that I was an all-round protectionist along that line. I hope, if he goes to the county of Halton again, he will say that he made a mistake, for I never made use of such an expression. 'Hansard' reveals the fact that I was speaking of agricultural products. I am a moderate protectionist, and not as high a protectionist as the hon. minister in many things. I do

not believe that it is essential or necessary. I would be satisfied with a lower tariff in many cases in which he has increased the tariff. I think it would be better to move along the line of reducing the duty on certain things, and, if the effect of high duties is to enhance the price, to secure these articles to the people at a lower rate. I make this statement because I want to put myself right. I thank the hon. gentleman for the explanation which I hope he is going to give of what he said in the county of Halton.


Sydney Arthur Fisher: I have no doubt that I said in the county of Halton what the hon. gentleman (Mr. Henderson) quotes me as saying, because I confess that I understand now for the first time that he limited his expression.


David Henderson: ' Hansard ' will show.


Sydney Arthur Fisher: I accept the hon. member's statement. He is one of those who do not attempt any subterfuge, do not deny what they have said; he has the courage of his convictions and stands by those convictions. If I expressed myself as he says I did, it is only because I thought I was stating his opinion. I regret if I have misrepresented him. He has spoken of the effect of the tariff and increased cost of certain articles, pork products, beef, meats, &c. I will point out to him that we have not raised the duty on one of these articles since we came into office.


David Henderson: No, you are encouraging importations.


Sydney Arthur Fisher: The proposition of the hon. member for Peel (Mr. Blain) is that we should raise the duty on pork products so as to raise the price.


Richard Blain: Let the hon. minister speak ' for himself.


Sydney Arthur Fisher: That is a part of it, but only a part of it. We contend we do not require to raise the duties to raise the price; the price has gone up because of other causes. The hon. member for Peel said that a deputation came and asked me to raise the duties. They also asked me to send representatives to Denmark to inquire into the swine industry. I propose to do that, I think it will do the swine industry more good than the other and will not raise antagonism between that industry and others. As to questions of tariff, and introducing it into this discussion in Supply, I plead not guilty, because the hon. member certainly brought it in and I only had to reply to what he said. I believe our course is the right one and that the results will be better than if we had followed the course he proposes.


Richard Blain: I did not suppose for a moment, when I ventured to direct the attention of my hon. friend the Minister of Agriculture (Mr. Fisher) to the condition of the hog industry that he would altogether lose his head in this discussion. He has branched out into the whole tariff question in Canada, as he is quite willing to do sometimes; and, if the time of this House is being taken up, at this late date of the session, with a discussion of this kind, the hon. gentleman must be held responsible for it. I was clearly within my right when I undertook, on an agricultural item to direct attention to one specific industry, and if my hon. friend had dwelt upon this for half an hour as he has, dealing with the whole tariff question, it is a matter for himself and the House to consider and one for which I am not responsible, and no man within the sound of my voice would venture to hold me responsible for the course the discussion has taken. I am sure the farmers would have been very pleased if the minister had been as frank with the deputation that came to see him and his government as he has been with this committee. He says that the farmers want special legislation for themselves. He had not the courage, when the farmers' deputation met him a few weeks ago, to tell them, as he did this committee, that he was opposed to an increase of the duty on pork. Will he venture to say that he'did? He has views and opinions on this question, he says. But he would allow the farmers to come down, as he did a few weeks ago, and meet him and his government with their specific request, a request which has been read in this House by one or two of his own supporters, a request for an increase in the duty on pork coming into Canada. They pointed out to him and his government that the duty on pork coming into Canada was two cents per lb. while the duty on pork going into the United States was five cents per lb. The farmers pointed out that this was unfair to their interest as between 85,000,000 of people on one side and 7,000,000 on the other. And the deputation, without going into a general discussion of the tariff, asked one specific thing, and that was that the government should increase the duty on pork from two cents per lb. to four cents per lb. And my hon. friend had not the courage to stand up before the deputation and tell them that he was opposed to their request. I will allow him to interrupt me, if he wishes to do so; I will not be so discourteous to the hon. minister as he was to me in the discussion. I am prepared to say he was afraid of the farmers; he did not have the courage to tell them squarely that he was opposed to it, but sent them home with the thought that possibly they might get the reform they asked for. It will be my business to tell the farmers that the hon.

minister says that the farmers are asking for class legislation, specific legislation in their own interest. And why should they not have protection If we are to have a tariff why should not the farmers have some benefit from it? I may say to my hon. friend that the member for Wentworth read a portion of a resolution from the Swine Breeders' Association and this is a part of it:
While we hesitate to trouble your depart* ment in the matter, we are prompted to do so by the alarming circumstances that there is fifty per cent less hogs produced to-day than there was six months ago, entirely as a result of low prices and the unfair competition, whereas if properly encouraged the resources are quite capable of producing double the quantity of six months ago.
That was the specific statement of these farmers. I may say that the farmers of this country have a right to some consideration. The members of the government, including the hon. gentleman himself, have been playing fast and loose upon this very tariff question. He goes up into the county of Halton and misquotes my hon. friend who represents that county (Mr. Henderson), and tells the farmers that my hon. friend who represents the county is in favour of a Chinese wall upon everything. My hon. friend corrects him now, and he accepts the statement. The minister could have found my hon. friend's statement in the 'Hansard' before he went up to Halton county, if he had wished; but he wanted to misrepresent him I suppose.


Mr. DEPUTY SPEAKER.: The hon. gentleman must recall those words.


Richard Blain: I will keep within the rules.


Gilbert Howard McIntyre: I have ruled that the hon. gentleman must not state that another member of this House desired to misrepresent an hon. gentleman, and these words must be withdrawn.


Richard Blain: I bow to the ruling of the Chair, without any lecturing.


Gilbert Howard McIntyre: Order. The hon. gentleman must not comment on a ruling of the Chair in that manner.


Richard Blain: I say that the minister went up into the county of Halton and misrepresented my hon. friend.


Gilbert Howard McIntyre: I think it is undesirable that that expression should be used; I think the hon. gentleman should use a form of expression less open to objection.


Richard Blain: I bow of course to the ruling of the Chair. My hon. friend from Halton made a statement here that the Minister of Agriculture went up into his county and Mr. BLAIN.
told the electors that my hon. friend was in favour of a Chinese wall, meaning that he wished to prohibit everything coming into the country. That is not my statement. My hon. friend from Halton has made that statement in the presence of the Minister of Agriculture. The Minister of Agriculture accepts my hon. friend's statement. It is not mine, I am not discussing it. That is the condition. Now then for myself, Mr. Chairman, I say that the Minister of Agriculture is misleading the farmers of this country, or making an effort to mislead them.


Gilbert Howard McIntyre: Order. To
say that an hon. gentleman is endeavouring to mislead the people is to attribute to him something that I think is not within parliamentary usage. It may be possible to say that the words of the hon. gentleman have misled; but to state that an hon. member endeavours to mislead, is I think not within parliamentary rules.


Richard Blain: I say, Mr. Chairman, that the minister is not frank with the farmers of this country when he allowed a deputation to come before him with a specific request, he is not frank enough to say to them that he is opposed to their request. But he takes the opportunity, in this general discussion, to make the statement that he is not willing to increase the tariff on pork. Now, the minister has stated that I was not ready to divide the House upon the question of the tariff, or rather that I was quite willing, as a representative of the people, from time to time to point out the faults of this government when they did not measure up to the requirements and wishes of the farmers. I am here to say that the minister is well aware that at every session of parliament since I have been a member of it, I have directed the attention of the government to the condition of the farmers. I had the honour of moving more than one resolution calling upon the government to increase the tariff upon the products of market gardens, and my hon. friend and his leader and every member of the government recorded their vote against that motion. They said to the farmers of this country, not only in speech but in vote, that they were opposed to increasing the tariff upon farm products, upon pork, and upon other things wherein the farmers requested a change of tariff. I admit that this is perhaps not an opportune time to bring this matter up. But I am glad I have brought it up, because we have a frank statement from the minister tonight that he is opposed to my request, and the farmers will understand his position and the position of the government. This verv session of parliament I presented, on the floor of this House, the condition of the hog raising industry before the revision of the tariff. If I had left it until after the

revision of the tariff, the minister would have said: 'You should have directed the attention of the government to this matter before the budget was brought down.' We took good care to direct the attention of the minister to this question before the tariff was brought down, and the government had an opportunity to make that correction. The minister, therefore, cannot say to hon. gentlemen on this side of the House that we have not directed the attention of the government to this condition of things. I have no hesitation in saying that the farmers of this country believe that it would be in their interest to get even-handed protection as long as we have a protective tariff. If the time comes when we are able to have a lower tariff the farmers will be prepared to submit, but they are not prepared to submit that the manufacturers of this country and other interests shall have a high protection when they get along -with a reasonable protection upon the articles they produce. To all their arguments the Minister of Agriculture turns a deaf ear, and then goes out upon the hustings and says: 'This government ought to receive the support of the farmers because we are very much interested in their success.' I must congratulate the Minister I suppose if he is in any better humour now, because he has told the House that he is going to expend a sum of money in trying to open up a market, or rather looking into the hog industry in other parts of the world. I suppose he would say this was in the interest of the farmer. Anything that will make the hog raising industry more profitable to the farmer I am in favour of. But I have no hesitation in saying that I am opposed to a tariff that ailows, and did allow last year during six months alone, one million dollars worth of American pork to come into this country under our low tariff, while we have been able to send so little to the United States under the five cent tariff they impose against the Canadian hog products. I tl'ink it is the duty of the Minister of Agriculture to look into this matter, and to see to it that while he is taking care of the manufacturers and others, he pays some attention to the interests of the farmers. I believe that the farmers know their business, and when they come to this government and state that the tariff should be increased from two to four cents a pound, I am one of those who believe that the farmers know what they want, and I am very glad to hear the minister state frankly that he is opposed to the request of the farmers.


William Stevens Fielding: It seems to me that there is some difference of opinion in regard to the political economy in my hon. friend from Halton (Mr. Henderson). I confess that I had thought that he was quite a high grade protectionist, but he rather intimates to-night that that is not so. I must
say that what we heard from him to-night is more in the direction of the old free trade idea than we expected to find from that side of the House. But, it is really sad to find this difference of opinion among hon. gentlemen who hitherto have been proud to represent themselves as protectionists. If there is any difference of opinion regarding the hon. member for Halton I am sure there can be no difference of opinion as to the high grade protectionist views of the hon. member for Peel (Mr. Blain).


Richard Blain: On farm products.


William Stevens Fielding: Whatever may be said regarding the views of others, he is a high protectionist. On farm products? Does my hon. friend mean to say that he is going to be a free trader on every thing else and a high protectionist on farm products? That would prove that the farmers were seeking some exceptional legislation and on their behalf I deny that such is the case. I say that the farmers do not want any consideration that will not be given equally to all other branches of industry. I want to take exception to the right of my hon. friend to stand on that side of the House and, in a lordly manner, speak in the name of his party and tell us what we should do on the tariff question. I want to point out to my hon. friend that he has been repudiated by a high authority in the Conservative party.


Richard Blain: I wish to say that when I speak in this House I speak for myself.


William Stevens Fielding: Oh.


Richard Blain: My hon. friend will not find me speaking for my party. It is to be expected that with a party as progressive as ours we will have gentlemen hold

ing different views.


William Stevens Fielding: Quite so; but I rather think that my hon. friends on the other side of the House have a policy on this tariff question which has had varied names but which was last known by the almost forgotten expression of 'adequate protection.' We had a tariff discussion this session. My hon. friend spoke in that debate. I do not remember that he spoke for himself alone. I do not remember that he said : ' I know the men sitting around me do not believe in my views and I stand here alone.' I do not think my hon. friend presented such an idea as that. I think that when he takes the ground he is taking that the government should do what he wants them to do, he tries to convey the impression that that is what his political party want the government to do. If he only means that it is his individual opinion, I say that opinion is entitled to great respect, but I do not think my hon. friend has usually conveyed the impression that

he occupied a position of splendid isolation on that question. I find that after my hon. friend made his tariff speech not many days ago a very excellent journal devoted some attention to it.


Richard Blain: I did not see that.


William Stevens Fielding: Then my hon. friend will be very glad that I. am reading it. I hope that I shall be able to lend to the Thyme of the poet the music of my voice.
We suppose

	

Says this Conservative journal:
-that any particular line of industry for which increased protection is demanded is entitled to have its special claims presented, no matter how doubtful a case anybody may beforehand fancy it to have; but when at this era a proclamation is heard such as Mr. Biain of Peel uttered, that there should be a tariff high enough to keep out of Canada every dollar's worth of goods that we can produce, one is prompted to express some amazement. Mr. Biain is a Conservative. If the party were to father his views, we fancy that it would injure itself seriously, indeed probably remain out of power indefinitely in Canada. We doubt if there was ever a time when a country in which such a doctrine was or could be very sensible; and the present time, when in the home and citadel of high protection, namely, tho United States, there is a popular revolt which is forcing the protectionist and ruling party to scale down the tariff, would, we imagine, be . a peculiarly inopportune time for the Conservative party in Canada to allow itself to go further than it has in the direction of high tariff.
I would not feel justified in delaying the committee to read the whole article, but if any hon. gentleman wishes to read what this important Conservative journal says upon this subject, I shall be glad to send him over the paper.


Mr. J. A. CURRIE.: What is the name of the paper?


William Stevens Fielding: I will give my hon. friend the name of the paper in a moment.
Canada could produce (i.e., manufacture) numberless things, to attempt to produce which would be folly. If this country were to adopt such a dictum as Mr. Biaim's, that we should keep out every dollar's worth of goods that we can produce, we would keep out great quantities of manufactures which could certainly be produced in Canada, but only at such a comparatively high cost that if our people were compelled to pay the proportionate retail prices, the expense of private living here would be desperately increased. We imagine that the people of Canada would refuse to have this sort of thing fastened upon them to any greater degree than at present. At any rate, whatever might be argued as to the possibility of such a doctrine being tolerated in eastern Canada, there is no chance of the new western Canada putting up with it; and. so from merely a party point of view, if the Conservative party hopes for any gain in the prairie provinces-where it needs to Mr. FIELDING
gain if it is to succeed-the less said about high protectionism the better. Canada has a tariff more than high enough to contribute efficiently towards national solidarity, a tariff high enough to give ample protection to every Canadian industry which has a fair excuse for existence; a tariff apparently well calculated to produce as large a revenue as our governments need to be entrusted with. We fancy, then, that it is a good tariff to let alone, except to cut down where undue business combines are shown to be sheltered by it.
That is the declaration of a Conservative journal in this Dominion of Canada. That is the declaration of the Ottawa 'Evening Journal.' Will some one say that it is a mere individual opinion? The Ottawa 'Evening Journal' is published by a gentleman who was a candidate for the Conservative party in the city of Ottawa and the night before that article was published he was chosen to be president of the Conservative association of Ottawa. So, they bid farewell to adequate protection.


David Henderson: I confess I was more than surprised to hear the Finance Minister stating that he had understood in the past that I was one of those high protectionists. Apparently he thought I belonged to his class. Can he not recall that year after year, time after time, I have declared myself against the high protection of the Minister of Finance; at any rate, against the high taxation methods- what I think the minister means by high protection.


William Stevens Fielding: I read the article; I did not mean anything.


David Henderson: Has he never heard me denounce the government for putting over $2,000,000 a year on the poor man's luxury his tobacco, while they required the duty on wine? Has he never heard me denounce the high duty that he has placed upon the sugar which goes into the consumption of every familv? The policy of the Conservative party was free raw sugar and only at the last moment, for revenue purposes, was the ex-Minister of Finance compelled to put half a cent a pound on sugar which, no doubt, would have been removed, in accordance with the policy of the Conservative party as soon as the revenue righted itself -During the present session the Minister of Finance has heard me denounce again and again the increased duties put on articles of ordinary consumption and of absolute necessity. He talks about the west


William Stevens Fielding: I simply read the article.


David Henderson: Then you are responsible for all it says.


William Stevens Fielding: Oh no.


David Henderson: The hon. gentlemen threw in a little comment.


William Stevens Fielding: Very little.


David Henderson: Just enough to try and make the people of the west believe that the Conservative policy was not in their favour. But he did not tell the people of the west that, knowing that if they went out to shoot a bear or a fox or a chicken, the Liberal party actually increased the duty on guns from 20 per cent to 30 per cent.


Mr. TALBOT.: What about gophers?


David Henderson: My hon. friend may have lived on gophers, but ordinary white men do not eat them. However, I do not think they shopt gophers, I understand they catch them with snares. But anyway I am only joking and I do not intend to say anything offensive to the hon. gentleman. My argument is that so long as the government get revenue out of the tariff they don't care who is hurt. They tell the western man that he may buy his guns in England and get the benefit of the preference, but the fact is that guns are imported largely from the United States and not from England, and they pay 30 per cent. I see the Minister of Customs is smiling when I mention the preferential tariff. He thinks the preference brings money into the treasury; well, it puts the money into the British manufacturers' pockets and the Canadian pays the bill. Let me show my friends in the west the effect of this tariff for revenue only, and I will give a few examples. The Minister of Finance says we have almost forgotten the words 'adequate protection,' .but the fact is that we do not need to advocate adequate protection now because the government has given us something more than adequate. I have often heard them ask what was the meaning of 'adequate protection,' but a reference to the dictionary would tell them. I never had any doubt but that it meant a tariff that would give the. Canadian producer and the manufacturer a fair share of the markets of this country for his products.


Mr. M. CLARK.: Will the hon. gentleman accept the definition of 'adequate protection' that was given to him by his own leader?


David Henderson: I do not know what that definition was, but I have the greatest respect for any opinion given by my leader.


Michael Clark: Will the hon. gentleman allow me to tell him that in the debates of 1902 in this House, Mr. Borden defined it as a tariff against the United States at least as high as the tariff of that country against us.


William D. Staples: I challenge the hon. gentleman (Mr. Clarke) to read that from 'Hansard'.


George Taylor: Mr. Borden never made that statement.


David Henderson: I do not recall that the leader of the nnposition made that statement in 1902, and the leader of the opposition is a very careful man who does not make statements that he has not well studied out. At all events what was good in 1902 in the tariff might not be very good to-day.


Mr. ARMSTRONG.: Mr. Borden never said it.


David Henderson: Five years ago 25 per cent was sufficient protection on a woman's shoe, but two years ago the Minister of Agriculture raised it to 30 per cent ihe tariff changes according to conditions i do not remember that Mr. Borden ever made the statement attributed to him, and no doubt to-morrow my hon. friend from Red Deer will bring 'Hansard' to me to verify it if he can, but anyhow it is not worth quarrelling over. I have my own idea of what 'adequate' means, and my hon. friend from Red Deer, who is a scholar, has also a conception of its meaning. The Minister of Finance has a better conception of it than any of us, because he is a scholar and he has studied all these things, but I never understood adequate protection to mean anything else than a tariff that would give a reasonably fair share of the markets of this country to the Canadian producer and allow him a reasonable profit on the money he has invested. I do not know if my hon. friend from Red Deer is satisfied with that definition, but at all events that is my understanding of it. We do not ask for anything more than adequate protection, although the Minister of Agriculture is willing to give a woman's shoe more than adequate protection. The Minister of Finance is willing to raise the duty on the sportsman's gun from 20 per cent to 30 per cent although 20 per cent was adequate. The government was also anxious to make the ladies of the western country who need fur jackets and fur mitts and fur coats in that cold climate, pay more than adequate protection on these articles. My difficulty with the Minister of Finance is


William Stevens Fielding: You and I have no difficulty.


David Henderson: Well, perhaps we have not. I am a moderate, reasonable protectionist, and the Minister of Finance has no difficulty I am sure in being the same. If there is any quarrel over the word 'protectionist,' I would ask the Minister of Customs to reduce the duty on bis-

cuits from 274 per cent down. I am not saying he has anything more than adequate protection to-day, but I believe 274 per cent is adequate protection, and if it were more than adequate I have confidence enough in the Minister of Customs to believe that he would reduce the duty.


Mr. PATERSON.: Hear, hear.


David Henderson: Nobody is asking him to increase that duty. We have been told by gentlemen opposite to-night that we have never challenged the tariff. How could we challenge it?


William Stevens Fielding: Hear, hear.


David Henderson: 
David Henderson: I need not go on with the list, I think I have given sufficient to show how this tariff encourages importation instead of encouraging production. Under the Conservative policy of promoting production on the farm and in the factory, people got articles at a reasonable price, but under this new policy of promoting importation in order to get revenue, you see the prices we have to pay. Possibly we get goods at a lower rate of duty; but what signifies that if we have to pay thirty or forty or fifty per cent more on the cost of the goods? I do not regard it as of moment that we are able to fill the treasury with money to build municipal bridges or wharfs where there is no water, or to do a great many other things that are not called for in the country, if you are taking it out of the pockets of the people by compelling them to pay a higher price for what they consume. Now, I think I have made the Minister of Finance thoroughly to understand my position on the tariff. I am a moderate protectionist. I do not believe in raising the tariff simply to get revenue. Readjustment is what we want. If I had my way, I would put the duty on agricultural implements down to 10 per cent. I would say to the men who are manufacturing reapers and mowers: 'If you do not put the price down ten per cent below what it was last year. I will bring down the duty.' If they will not reduce the price, I say reduce the duty. But if they will reduce the price, I am not so unpatriotic as to say that these things should not be made in Canada. The government should use the tariff as a power to regulate the prices of manufactured articles. My hon. friend, the Finance Minister, has told us that the people of the Northwest want a low tariff. Why then does he not lower the duty on agricultural implements to 10 per cent? The hon. member for South Grey (Mr. Miller) told us the other day that the government had reduced the duty on ploughs and some other agricultural implements to 174 per cent. I am sure that was a surprise to the Finance Minister as it was to me. I hope the hon. member for South Grey did not intend that speech to go to the Northwest. The only two articles on which the duties were reduced to 174 per cent were mowers and binders. If the minister wants to do something for the west-and I do not believe that the people there are free traders, I do not believe that even my hon. friend from Red Deer (Mr. Clark) would want absolutely no duties at all, I believe the people there are willing to pay their fair share to the revenues of the country-but there are certain lines on which they want the duties reduced. Take agricultural implements, I will say put the duty on these heavy implements that cost a lot of money

and which the farmers must have, down to a lower figure. I think the manufacturer can stand it, especially on the larger implements such as binders and mowers, because they are large exporters and do not rely on the home trade. They have an enormous foreign trade, and if their home trade were wiped out they could live on their foreign trade.


Onésiphore Ernest Talbot: What about buggies and carriages?


David Henderson: The duty on these is just where the hon. gentleman contended it should be.


Onésiphore Ernest Talbot: Adequate protection.


David Henderson: That is where his own government put it. If he has any fault to find with it he must tell the Finance Minister or the Minister of Customs that he made a mistake. I do not think he will because I believe his own vote supported the government in placing the duty exactly where it is.


William Paterson: If you will bear with a usually silent member, as you have with the hon. gentleman who has just spoken, I will not take up much time. My hon. friend has mentioned one article which, better than anything else, will explain the dfference between the two poltical parties, so far as the tariff is concerned. He says that the Conservative government put raw sugar on the free list. That is true. We have made it dutiable, and there is the difference. But the people of this country do not use raw sugar. They use refined sugar. My hon. friends opposite put a duty of 80 cents on refined sugar, which the people had to pay, and not one cent of which went into the treasury because the raw sugar came in free. It all went to the refiners. The late government got no revenue from their duty, but the consumer was taxed 80 cents on every 100 pounds he used. What did we do? We put a tax on the raw sugar and have thereby put millions into the treasury. Have we raised the price to the consumer? Certainly not, because the people do not use raw sugar. My hon. friend laughs.


David Henderson: I am laughing at the idea that a duty on raw sugar did not increase the price.


William Paterson: Under my hon. friends there was no duty on raw sugar, but the people paid on the refined sugar which they did use, 80 cents per 100 pounds. Under our policy we put a duty on the Taw sugar, which has brought millions into the treasury, and the people do not pay any more on the sugar they consume. Under the policy of the party opposite the people paid on the sugar they used a tax of 80 cents per 100 pounds but the refiner got it all. Sugar is not


REVISED
[Stage Direction]
higher now because we give the refiner only 36 cents protection against 80 given by hon. gentlemen opposite. That is the way our tariff is arranged. When the hon. gentleman alludes to biscuits, they are just the same as scores of other articles in the tariff. The duties are lower to-day than they were then. In all the changes made, out of the hundreds and hundreds of articles in the Trade and Navigation Returns-they run up to fifteen hundred or sixteen hundred different articles-in all you will not find that half a score under the general tariff are higher than under their tariff ,and the $60,000,000 or $80,000,000 of British goods come in at a reduction of 33& per cent. As we dealt with sugar, so we did with other manufactured goods. We lowered the duties in many cases, but that did not injure the manufacturers because we reduced the tariff on their raw material. One word with reference to my hon. friend the Minister of Agriculture's allusion to the Chinese wall speech of the hon. member for Halton. I am sure be will accept the explanation of the hon. gentleman. I can only tell my hon. friend from Halton (Mr. Henderson) that if I had been there and were making a speech, I would in all good faith have said what the Minister of Agriculture did. I understood the hon. gentleman to say that he would put a Chinese wall around the country or words to that effect, and would shut out everything we could produce. I understood the hon. member for Peel (Mr. Blain) to say also that he would shut out anything we could produce or make in the country.
John Allister Currie: Can the hon. gentleman tell the House the difference between ordinary raw sugar and the brown which is manufactured by the refiners in Montreal?


William Paterson: The sugars which are admitted free are sugars that are under No. 16, Dutch standard.


John Allister Currie: The custom of the trade now is to use xhe granulated sugar. But at the time the hon. gentleman's government came into power the bulk of the sugar used was the ordinary brown sugar, and it was right for the Conservative, party to admit it free.


William Paterson: My hon. friend has only established this, that under the national policy the people had to use unwashed sugar.


John Allister Currie: My hon. friend is fond of his little joke.


William Paterson: That is not a joke, it is the fact.


John Allister Currie: He thinks that he is the only man in this House who knows anything about the tariff. Let me point out to him that the competition of the beet root sugar from Germany, which is a white


EDITION
[Stage Direction]
granulated sugar, compelled our refiners to make white granulated sugar out of the raw cane sugar, and everybody to-day buys the white granulated sugar and not a pound of the brown sugar. The brown sugar that comes from the West Indies is raw and which was admitted free in those days is just as good_as the raw sugar of commerce that you buy from the manufacturers in Montreal.
William Paterson: But it paid 80 cents per 100 pounds on coming in.


John Allister Currie: It does now.


William Paterson: It did then. Oh, you can't tell me anything about sugar.


John Allister Currie: Just a moment while I am on my feet; I do not wish tc delay the estimates. I think we had better come back to a few of these agricultural items. Hon. members opposite are continually making believe that there is a difference between the manufacturer and the farmer. To my mind, the farmer is the largest manufacturer in the country. He employs more labour than any body,else, he pays more for his tools and uses more tools than other producers do, and he works harder than the man of any other class. If there is any one who should be protected, to my mind it is the farmer, for he produces fully 65 per cent of the products of this country. Now, I call the attention of Iron, gentlemen to a few figures -and I will permit the Minister of Finance (Mr. Fielding) and the Minister of Agriculture also (Mr. Fisher) to sleep on the rtems that I have to bring forward. I took occasion to go through the Trade and Commerce returns to ascertain the amount of goods imported into this country that mrght be raised and should be raised on the farms of this country. In the first place, I find- that of farm animals we imported $1 649,574 worth.	Of breadstuffs,
our imports amounted to $16,524,968-and we proclaim ourselves a great country fof the production of breadstuffs, and the government takes credit for being good to the people of the Northwest whose chief product is breadstuffs. Of green fruits our imports were $5,312,798.	The green-fruit
growers claim that they are not protected but are under unfair competition from the growers in the United States who can get into the market here earlier in the season than we can. In gloves and mitts, which our mothers and grandmothers used to make years ago, _we imported $2,987,556. Of axle grease which used to be a common article manufactured in this country-we imported last year $878,268 worth. Hides are a product of the animals grown on the farms of Canada, and one would think that we could produce our own hides. But on the contrary, we find that we imported last year $4,908,871 worth of hides. And Mr. J. A. CURRIE.
still we pride ourselves in being a great cattle-growing country, and speak of ourselves as doing everything to protect the farming interest of our country. Of honey our imports last year amounted to $35,405. Hops-something our farmers grow in Kent county and all through the western part of the Ontario peninsula-used to be exported from this country. Last year, we imported $235,923 worth. Turn again to the leathers and manufactures thereof; one would think that when we import the hides we would surely make the leather, but we find that we imported of these goods $3,780,303 worth. Milk, that surely is the product of this country yet we find that last year we imported $199,624 worth. Then we come to plants and trees - we have nurseries of our own, and yet we bring in $276,683 worth. Our imports of provisions, such as butter, cheese and articles of that description amount to no less than $4,655,980. ^ And still we are told the farmer is not in need of protection. Of seeds and roots-and these articles surely should be produced in this country-we imported $4,. 559,454 worth. And now I come to the item of sugar. Hon. gentlemen opposite have claimed that they have endeavoured to stimulate the sugar industry, and surely all must agree that the sugar industry should be successful in this country. One or two factories have been successful, but owing to some cause, whether the lack of proper protection or not, a large number of these factories have gone out of business. The result is that instead of producing our own sugar, as is done in Germany and France under virtually similar conditions of climate and soil, we imported last year $12,433,111 worth. Then we c-ome to tobacco. The hon. Minister of Agriculture (Mr. Fisher) has an item in his estimates for the encouragment of the growth of tobacco in this country. The tobacco industry is certainly a growing industry and the to-baeco growers of Canada have shown clearly that they can produce as good tobacco as can be produced anywhere in the world. In spite of that, instead of protecting the tobacco industry of western Ontario, we imported last year $4,356,820 worth of tobacco.


William Stevens Fielding: Does the hon. gentle man (Mr. J. A. Currie) wish a higher duty on tobacco?


John Allister Currie: I think that some method should be adopted to encourage the growing of tobacco in this country. I feel satisfied that, if the tobacco industry of this country is properly encouraged, within a very few years, instead of merely producing our own supply of tobacco, we shall become an exporting country. If the hon. minister (Mr. Fielding) will turn up the returns of this country back in the forties

and fifties, he will find that in those days Canada exported tobacco. But he will not go back that far. The next item I have here is that of green vegetables, representing an industry in whose success my hon. friend from Centre York (Mr. Wallace) has shown a deep interest. Last year, we imported $1,117,253 worth of green vegetables. The last item is an article that we on this side are all agreed should be produced in this country-woollens. Last year, our im ports of woollens amounted to no less than $23,145,029. Certainly, a very large proportion of these goods should be produced in this country. Now, how much is represented altogether by these imports of goods that might be produced on Canadian farms? Last year, the Northwest produced wheat to the value of perhaps $80 000,000. Yet we find that articles imported into this country in direct competition with the product of out farms represented a value of no less than $87,157,628.
Now, the hon. minister (Mr. Fielding), I suppose, has such a fine, keen, acute mind that he would try to put questions to. me to show that I must be either a protectionist or a free trader or nothing. I can tell the hon. minister that I find that his party is in practically the same shape as they were in 1878, when Alexander Mackenzie was defeated. At that time, their policy was one of tariff for revenue only, which is the policy they claim to have now. The question of tariff for revenue only was never fought out on the platform in this country except in 1878, and then it was swamped so badly that it is only of recent years we have heard anything more about it. The hon. minister knows that Sir John Macdonald pointed out that the policy of tariff for revenue only was one which put upon the farmer and the artisan the greatest amount of taxation. Sir John Macdonald introduced his national policy in opposition to the policy of Alexander Mackenzie. It was not a policy of high protection, but of adjustment of the taxation so as to increase the industries suited to the country, while taking a minimum of taxes out of the pockets of the people. I would recommend the hon. member for Bed Deer (Mr. Michael Clark) to read the speeches in the campaign of 1878. He will find there a great distinction between free trade and tariff for revenue only, and a great distinction also between the national policy and the policy of high protection. I do not think any Conservative can stand up and defend the policy of high protection. We are said to be high protectionists. I have always understood that protection, as advocated by Sir John Macdonald and ,the Conservative party to be in the truest sense a national policy for this country. Now, what is it that causes trouble to the
farmers with regard to the sale of their products? The market was all right when they had good times in the United States, and they could find a high market for their products. But hon. gentlemen know that within the last two or three years there have been hard times in the United States, and the farmers there have had difficulty in selling their products, and the result is that their .surplus is shipped into this country at a lower price than our farmers were getting, and our farmers must take a lower price. I think the discussion perhaps has gone a little further afield than it .should. But so far as I am concerned,
I believe that the welfare of this country lies in a proper system of protection for the articles the farmers produce.


Gilbert Howard McIntyre: The discussion has been very broad. I have no desire to stop it if the committee really desires to engage in a discussion of tariff issues; but I think I should remind the committee that the item is that for the development of the live stock industry.


Michael Clark: I am perfectly sure, Mr. Chairman, that you as well as the committee will have no reason to complain of the length of any observations I address to the House, because I have from the beginning of this discussion had exactly the view you have expressed, that our opinions upon the tariff would have been better expressed in the budget debate. I did take what I hoped was a pardonable liberty in asking my hon. friend from Halton (Mr. Henderson) if I might introduce him to his leader's definition of adequate protection in the debates of 1902. With his usual courtesy he granted me leave to give his leader's definition. I have the definition which I gave here, and I think the House will corroborate what I noted down immediately, and it is substantially what I said:	' A
tariff against the United States at least as high as that of the United States against us.' Now the hon. member for Halton is not only very courteous, but he is a somewhat wily old member of this House, and he had far too much sense to contradict me, because he knew I was perfectly correct. He had this advantage over the member for Macdonald (Mr. Staples), that he had a better memory of what his leader had said; so he did not expose himself in the way that the member for Macdonald did. Some other members gave the member for Macdonald their moral support by asserting- referring to the leader of the opposition- ' He never said it.' I have in my hands now the ' Hansard ' of 1902, and I will read from the speech of the leader of the opposition what he said in that debate, as found on page 1334 in volume 1;
One would expect that if we intend to maintain and build up our own products and manu-

factures against such powerful and tremendous competition as that which we must anticipate from the United States, we would fix our tariff of customs against that country on a scale at least as high as is that of their tariff against us.


William D. Staples: The hon. gentleman asked my hon. friend from Halton (Mr. Henderson) if he would accept the defini-ition of adequate protection as given by his leader, and my hon. friend from Halton answered that he would, and I said that the leader of the opposition never did make any such definition of adequate protection. I say still that he never made any such definition, and I challenge the hon. gentleman to read from ' Hansard ' the context in that speech, and he cannot find that the leader of the opposition defined adequate protection in the terms he has used.


Michael Clark: If I am not wearying the patience of the House, I will take up the point as it has been raised by my hon. friend from Macdonald. The speech from which I am quoting


George Taylor: I rise to a point of order. This discussion has no reference at all to the item before the Chair. I think we ought to adhere to the item under discussion. We have wandered far away from the item, and I ask that we now come back to it.


Gilbert Howard McIntyre: The point of order raised by the hon. member for Leeds (Mr. Taylor) is certainly well taken. The discussion for the last hour has been almost entirely out of order. I have not felt called upon to insist on the rule, because it appeared to be the desire of the committee to discuss the tariff generally. But now that the point of order has been raised, I must rule that the committee come back to the discussion of the item for the development of the live stock industry.


Joseph Elijah Armstrong: I think my hon. friend from Peel (Mr. Blain) was within his right when he sought to show the Minister of Agriculture the necessity of making some improvement in the hog industry, in view of the manner in which it is languishing at present. I feel it is my duty to call upon the Minister of Agriculture to take immediate steps to improve the position of that industry. If lie will examine the agricultural press he will find that he is being severely condemned for the manner in which that industry is languishing. In turning up the trade and navigation returns I find that last year 11,770,000 pounds of lard, valued at $1,000,000, came into this country. Of bacon, ham, shoulders and sides, 7, 304,000 pounds, valued at $851,000, came in from the United States. Of pork, barreled in brine, 9,204,000 pounds, valued at $713,000, came in. Surely my hon. friend


Michael Clark: from Peel was within his rights in calling the attention of the Minister of Agriculture to the position of the swine industry. In view of the fact that in the neighbourhood of 30,000,000 pounds of swine products are annually coming into this country, surely my hon. friend was within his rights in calling the attention of the Minister of Agriculture to the fact that the swine indus try was not increasing, but that it was an industry that was in need of a radical change. The Minister of Agriculture tells us that he is going to send a few farmers over to Denmark to see if they can bring back some new ideas. If these men return within the next few months it will take years for the swine industry to get back to anything like the position it held some years ago. Let him look at the pork manufactories in Canada and see the small amount of pork that is being exported and he cannot help but come to the conclusion that his department is responsible for the position of the swine industry to-day. When you take into consideration the very large imports of that product from the United States and other countries you cannot help but come to the conclusion that the minister has been neglecting that industry. He may look at the butter industry and the man who is at the head of the dairy department in the country may tell the people just as much as he likes that we are producing just about the same quantity as we ever did, he can say that it is because of the increase of population, or he can offer other excuses along these lines, but the fact remains that instead of these products having largely increased as they have in other countries, the increase has been very much less. Let the minister go to New Zealand and see the wonderful de-velopements in production and increase in exports that have taken place there. Let him go to the Argentine Republic and see what they are doing in the live stock industry there. If he compares the exports of these countries with our exports he cannot help but feel humiliated, as every Canadian does in this agricultural country, at the lack of advancement in the development of this live stock industry. I do not wish to take up the time of the House-


Some hon. MEMBERS: Hear, hear.


Joseph Elijah Armstrong: The hon. member for Assiniboia (Mr. Knowles) says ' hear, hear.1 If the hon. member for Assiniboia would take a little more interest in the development of the farm industry of our great west than he does in this House, instead of yelling ' hear, hear,' when he knows full well that the Minister of Agriculture has been neglecting his duty in regard to these important subjects, he would be doing something for the general benefit of the people of his province.


Mr. KNOWLES.: Mr. Speaker, I rise to a question of privilege. I have listened painfully to the hon. gentleman (Mr. Armstrong) many times in this House, and I have never thought that the Minister of Agriculture has neglected any of his duties.
Mr. DEPUTY, SPEAKER. There is no question of privilege in the remarks which the hon. gentleman has made.


Joseph Elijah Armstrong: The hon. gentleman is naturally interested in his constituency, and after the remarks we have listened to I do not know that I will attempt to make any reply. When I call attention to the fact that we are making these large importations of the products of the farm, I cannot help but feel that something should be done, and done immediately, whereby our farm products could be increased and whereby the swine industry, the butter industry and the live stock industry could be developed along more extensive lines than at the present time. I feel that if the minister would take into consideration not only the question of developing the swine, the butter and the live stock industries of this country, but the question of securing the best possible markets for the products of the farm, he would be doing a greater measure of justice to the farmers of this country than he is doing at the present time.


Mr. ELSON.: I desire just to say a few words in reference to the question of the development of our live stock industry When I take up the trade figures issued by the Department of Trade and Commerce it seems to me as if the money expended for the development of the live stock industry during the last couple of years has not produced results such as we could desire. We see that the export of live cattle in the year 1906 was about $2,000,000 greater than in the year 1908, showing that we are falling back to a very great extent in the development of our cattle industry. While the numbei of cattle exported was 25,000 less, the number of horses was several hundred less and the value very much reduced. The export of sheep was just about the same. In the products of the hog-ham and bacon-we have fallen back about a million dollars. It appears to me that the money which has been expended in the past couple of years has not had the desired effect in developing our live stock industry. How does the Minister of Agriculture account for this great falling off in our exportation of live stock? It is true that our population is a little greater than it was two years ago and no doubt consumes more, but still the increase in the production of stock and animal products should be greater than the increase of population. Parliament has voted a con siderable amount every year for the develop ment of the live stock industry. We are
willing to vote for that purpose, provided we can obtain good results, a still larger sum. But, when we see that the results are not satisfactory and that our country is going backward in regard to its live stock industry, it seems to me that something should be done to improve this condition. I would ask the minister how he explains the falling off in the exportation of live stock?


Sydney Arthur Fisher: Unfortunately we have not complete statistics year by year of home consumption or of the number of animals in the country. I have no doubt whatever that the falling off in the export of horses is due to the increased demand in this country to supply the needs of the new settlers in the Northwest. I do not understand the exact reason for the falling off in the export of cattle, but the decrease in the export of dairy products in the last few seasons would doubtless be due to the diminished production of milk on account of the drought; the decreased production of Canadian butter not keeping pace with the relatively increased consumption at home. The dry season has also affected the hog industry very seriously. It is largely dependent upon the dairy industry, and when dairying is short the cost of producing pork and its products increases. The price of grain and feed stuffs during the last few years has been exceptiohally high, with the result that our farmers have been discouraged in rearing hogs. Although the price of pork has been rather high, and very high lately, th_e farmers say that the margin of profit between the cost of production and the price to them was not sufficient to encourage them to increase production. It is for the purpose of finding out whether there are methods of production in Denmark and Ireland which are more economical than our own that I propose to send this commission to these countries. If we can get any hints which will help our industry it will he well worth the expenditure. I would prefer to send farmers who themselves are engaged in the industry rather than officers of my department, whose reports might be criticised and might perhaps not be considered so acceptable.


Peter Elson: The falling off in the export of butter is really astonishing. In 1907 about $7,000,000 worth of butter was exported and in 1908 only $1,000,000 worth, showing a falling off of $6,000,000 in one year. The inference might possibly be that the farmers were making cheese instead of butter, but there is a falling off in the export of cheese to the extent of $2,000,000 worth. All along the line of the live stock and dairying industry there seems to have been an immense falling off during the past year.


Mr. HERRON.: I was sorry to hear the statement made by the Minister of Agriculture with regard to the Alaska-Yukon-Seattle exposition. It would seem strange if the stock raisers of the west do not themselves know what is for their own interest in that respect. I have the very strongest requests from the executive officers of the association representing the three western provinces asking for some small assistance to enable them to exhibit their live stock at Seattle. But the minister positively Refused to entertain that request. I should have thought that these gentlemen must have taken into consideration the difficulty regarding the quarantine and that they believed this difficulty could be overcome. The western breeders have invested very large sums of money to improve the breed of horses and cattle; and as we do a considerable trade with that part of the United States the Seattle exhibition would be a grand opportunity to show what western Canadian farmers have succeeded in accomplishing. About $8,000 is all that these gentlemen ask; it is a small sum for such a worthy object, and I have had numerous letters and 'telegrams from them asking me to urge the minister to give this aid.


Sydney Arthur Fisher: The returns which have reached me have come from Mr. Bell of Winnipeg, representing as I understand the Western Farmers' Association. The hon. gentleman is more fortunate than I am with regard to receiving letters and telegrams of that kind.


Richard Stuart Lake: I have received copies of resolutions from the farmers' associations in Saskatchewan, which I understood had been sent to the Minister of Agriculture.


Sydney Arthur Fisher: I think the only communication I have received was from Manitoba.


Mr. J. D. TAYLOR.: I would remind the minister that a number of British Columbia breeders exhibited at the Portland exhibition a few years ago and did very well indeed. Are the quarantine conditions more onerous now than they were then?


Sydney Arthur Fisher: Yes.


James Davis Taylor: I would recall the attention of the minister to an application from a resident in my district, Mr. Page of Matsqui which engaged the attention of this House on a former occasion. I understood the Minister of Agriculture to say then that Mr. Page had a claim; perhaps not a legal claim, but sufficient of a claim to warrant the government in giving consideration to it, and .this led Mr. Page to hope that at some time or other he might get compensation from the government. The facts of the case are:	Mr. Page was a


Peter Elson: breeder of horses and he sent quite a large consignment to the United States, feeling that the regulations then in force permitted him to have them entered free of duty as they were imported to be sold for breeding purposes. The customs officers of the United States told him his interpretation of their law was wrong, and, as he had irregularly imported these horses into the United States they were seized and confiscated and sold, resulting in the loss to Mr. Page of the entire shipment. Mr. Page then made a claim to the Department of Agriculture, stating that his exportation was under the terms agreed upon between the two countries and as understood by the Canadian department, and being led into error by accepting the Canadian interpretation of the American regulations his claim comes before the department as a matter of compassion, or perhaps I should say of common justice. I undrstood the minister to say on the occasion I have referred to that he was disposed to do something for Mr. Page. Does the hon. gentleman consider that incident entirely closed, or is it possible that something may yet be done?


Sydney Arthur Fisher: I have considered the incident entirely closed for some years. The question is not a question of any action on the part of this government. The action was taken by the American authorities, and we have no control over their interpretation of their own law. The actual fact was this: Under the American regulations horses imported for breeding purposes are free of duty. This gentleman brought horses into the United States to sell, and the American authorities interpreted the regulations to mean that that was not bringing them in for breeding purposes. This government have nothing whatever to do with the action of the American authorities, and I never understood that Mr. Page expected or asked for compensation from this government. I think he asked that we should deal with the American, authorities, and we did so. We represented' to the Secretary of State at Washington that it was a case of hardship, and asked that it should be reconsidered. It was reconsidered and discussed at headquarters at Washington, and I think it was the Attorney General of the United States who declared that the interpretation put upon the American regulations by the officers at the frontier, was a legal and proper interpretation. I do not see how we could possibly have done anything more than we did, and I cannot understand how Mr. Page or any body else could claim that the government of Canada could be held responsible for such an action.


James Davis Taylor: My recollection is that the hon. minister said something

which led Mr. Page to believe that this government would do something for him. I have had a letter from him asking me to mention the matter again.


Sydney Arthur Fisher: I cannot remember any words of mine that could be so interpreted.


Richard Blain: Has the hon. minister before him the request in writing that was made by the Swinebreeders' Association?


Sydney Arthur Fisher: No, I haven't it here.


Richard Blain: Did my hon. friend say that it referred to anything except the unfair competition found in the Canadian market?


Sydney Arthur Fisher: I cannot say that the writing did, but the deputation that came to me made a request for this commission. My hon. friend accused me a few minutes ago of lack of courage in not telling the 6winebreeders what I have told the House to-night. My hon. friend ought to know that the government always refuses to say to any deputation what they are going to do with regard to tariff matters.


Richard Blain: Do I understand that another deputation waited on the hon. gentleman, but that it had no reference to the tariff?


Sydney Arthur Fisher: Certain swine breeders approached my hon. friend the Minister of Finance and mv hon. friend the Minister of Customs, as well as myself, in regard to the tariff. Then a deputation of swine-breeders came to me in my office and asked for this commission. I am inclined to think that they were largely the same men. I can remember some of them-Mr. Breth-our, Mr. Featherstone and Mr. Flatt-and there were several members of parliament with them.


George Taylor: Are these the men to be sent over?


Sydney Arthur Fisher: No. They said they did not wish swine-breeders to be sent; they preferred that swine feeders should be sent.


Joseph Elijah Armstrong: Is there not some way in which the minister could make better progress than by sending over a commission? It appears to me that it is not a bad suggestion in itself, but it will be many months before this commission will be able to make a report, and a still longer time before the people will be educated up to their ideas. Could not the minister take some more aggressive course to remedy this state of affairs?


Sydney Arthur Fisher: We have always acted on the line of educating the farmers, impressing upon them what has been found by experiment to be the best method of fattening hogs. That, of course, does not affect the price of the hog or the cost of the feed. All we can do is to explain the relative values of different feeds, and leave them to find the best feed, and feed it in the cheapest way possible. We propose to continue that work of education, and I hope it will have some effect. In the past it has had a very great effect. But largely because feed has been scarce and high lately, the profits on hog feeding have not been as great as they were a few years ago. During the last two years the price of hogs sold on the Canadian market has been usually high. It is always the case in the fall of the year that the price of hogs goes down; but I may say that the average price during the last two years has been higher than it was in the two yeaTS before.


Mr. SEXSMITH.: One reason to mv mind why the farmers are going out of the raising of hogs is the very unstable condition of the market. The minister knows well that it is very irregular. At one time of the year there is a price that will perhaps make the raising of hogs profitable. The fall of the year, when the bulk of the hogs are marketed, and when the farmer expects to receive his profit, is the time when the price is very low. There is a general impression in the part of the country that I come from that the packers have an organization, and at a time of the year when they are about to put in their supplies for home consumption, they put the price down. I would like to ask the minister if he does not think that if the Canadian farmer had the home market for himself, it would help to regulate the price to a considerable extent. I am not going to advocate high protection, but I do believe in fair trade; and if my neighbours charge us five cents a pound to get an article into their country, I think we would be justified, to a certain extent anyway, in protecting our own industries. How'ever, wre have not time to discuss that question now, but I cannot agree with the minister that such a policy would raise the price to the consumer. He said he was very pleased to belong to the agricultural class. I agree with him, as I am a farmer myself. He also said that the farmers were very charitable and did not ask for a tariff which would raise the prices to the masses. I quite agree that they are' charitable or they would not have supported this government so long in return for. so little; but the farmers in the riding I represent believe in protecting their own market to the extent, or very nearly so, asked by the Swine Breeders' Association. Does the hon. minister not think it would be well to look into the matter from the packers' standpoint so as to ascertain, whether the general belief be true that they combine to unduly press the prices down, especially in September and October?


Sydney Arthur Fisher: I did have an investigation made into the comparative prices _ of the live hog at the station to the packing houses and the wholesale price of the finished products in the shape of bacons and hams and the retail price tqjhe consumer. What I had done was to compare the prices in these different articles in Chicago, Buffalo, Toronto, Montreal and Liverpool over a period covering six months. We took the prices as we found them reported in the Trade journals every week, beginning in September or October, 1907 and during the six months following. The result showed that if we took the price paid for the live hog at the station and made reasonable allowance for the cost of manufacture, transport, &c., .the price received for Canadian bacon on the Liverpool market, wholesale, delivered there, was not an undue profit over the price paid the farmer. But if you take the price paid by the Canadian consumer in Montreal or Toronto for the'finished bacon over the counter, it was much laTger on that portion of the hog sold in Canada than on the portion sold in England. In other words, the retail price in Canada showed a profit much larger than the retail price in England. As far as our investigation went, the figures would indicate that the increase lay between the departure of the pork from the factory and its sale by the retailer, but just how it was distributed we had no means of finding out. My impression, from that investigation, is that if to-day the packers are making very large profits, they are doing that on the retail sale in the Canadian market and not on their sale in the English market. The price paid to the Canadian farmer at the station for the live hog seemed to be as high as the packer could pay and make a fair profit on his business when he sold at the prices in the English market. That investigation took place a year ago, and I have not had time to have it repeated, but I will see that it is repeated this coming season and find out more information for the benefit of the farmers and the trade.


Mr. OWEN.: Is the hon. minister aware that thousands of cattle are slaughtered in this country every year, affected with tuberculosis and sold to the people? I have had several complaints recently.


Sydney Arthur Fisher: I am not aware that thousands of cattle affected with tuberculosis have been sold in the country. In the meat establishments, which are under the control of my department since the Meat and Canned Food Act has been passed, here are no carcasses affected with tuberculosis which are allowed to pass through and enter into consumption. There is a small percentage of the cattle slaughtered in those establishments found Mr. SEXSMITH.
affected with tuberculosis, but I would be sorry to admit for a moment, in the general way my hon. friend uses the term, that there are thousands of cattle slaughtered in Canada which are thus affected.
To encourage the production and use of superior seeds of farm crops and for the enforcement of the Seed Control Act, $49,000.


George Taylor: There is a reduction here of $19,000.


Sydney Arthur Fisher: That is due to the transfer of the salaries to the civil government.


Richard Stuart Lake: Is the hon. minister distributing seed at present?


Sydney Arthur Fisher: The only distribution is in small packages by post from the Experimental farm.


John Albert Sexsmith: How is it proposed to expend the money?


Sydney Arthur Fisher: There are salaries to officers outside of Ottawa amounting to $7,500. There is a very considerable amount of travel of the staffs, which costs about $8,000. The printing and stationery take $6,000. The book called ' The Farm Weeds of Canada ' will call for an expenditure from this year's appropriation of $6,000. Part of the expense of the new edition has already been paid out of this year's vote. We also-propose to issue a publication on grasses, clovers and forage crops, which is expected to cost $6,000. Supplies for the laboratory will cost $1,250, and supplies for the Calgary laboratory $750. The expense of enforcing the Seed Control Act, apart from the salaries of officers, is $2,000. Then, we assist in conducting seed fairs and field competitions in the growth of seed grain, and assist the associations. This costs $12,000. There is a special grant to the Canadian Seed Growers' Association and Provincial Seed Exhibition of $5,500.


John Albert Sexsmith: You have lecturers going about?


Sydney Arthur Fisher: Yes, that is included in the salaries. They also assist in enforcing the Seed Control Act.


Mr. LALOR.: Are the farmers still permitted to sell seed grain without inspection? I know from inquiry among some of the men dealing in seeds that they doubt veTy much whether this Act can be made very successful so long as the farmers are permitted to sell to their neighbours seed grain that is not inspected. x\s I understand it, the inspection reaches only the dealers, but one of the great sources of trouble in the distribution of foul seed is the farmers selling seed grain to one another.


Sydney Arthur Fisher: The Seed Control Act has a provision under which a farmer growing seed can sell it to his neighbours. That

was discussed when the Seed Control Act was passed, and there has been no amendment to that section; the law remains as it has been for some years. My hon. friend (Mr. Lalor) was here, I think, when the Act was passed, and knows the reasons why the provision was put in. I need not dwell upon them now.
To encourage the production and sale of Canadian tobacco, $5,000.


Sydney Arthur Fisher: I was glad to hear an hon. member say that we ought to encourage the tobacco growing industry of this country. He will approve a vote for that purpose. I have been doing a little work in this way for some time back, and this year hope to do still more. What I did before was not under a special vote, but under the general encouragement of markets and agricultural products of 'the country. But this year, expecting to do more, I am asking for a special vote. The work we have been doing has been to give instruction to the tobacco growers and to carry on experiments especially in the curing of the tobacco. I think there is no doubt that Canada can produce a very large quantity of tobacco. The soil is suitable, and the climate seems _ to be suitable. But the curing and handling by the farmers has been deficient. We are trying to help them in this matter. In the coming season I propose, partly through this vote-but there will have to be a vote for special buildings-to establish three experimental stations, one in Essex county, Ontario, one in Montcalm, and one in Rou-ville, in Quebec, these latter two very small ones not costing as much as the single one in Essex, to carry on experiments in the way of growing tobacco and some new kinds, and especially in the curing of the tobacco in accordance with the experiments we have been conducting, and also with the experiments in handling that have been carried on in the United States.


Mr. BURRELL.: Is there to be any expenditure for the encouragement of tobacco growing in British Columbia?


Sydney Arthur Fisher: I was not proposing to establish an experimental station in British Columbia this year. My tobacco expert has not been able yet to study the conditions in British Columbia and work out what is the right thing to do, but I propose to have him go there and study the situation, and if we can do anything in the way of experimental work there we shall be glad to undertake it.


Joseph Elijah Armstrong: I am glad the minister has decided to establish an experimental station in the western peninsula. I know the need of it there, and I hope he will give it his energetic attention.


Richard Blain: How does the minister make his statement correspond with the state-186
ment in opposition to the manufacture of cigarettes in this country?


Sydney Arthur Fisher: If they would use no tobacco in Canada but export it all, I should be glad. I do not use it myself, and should like to see others follow my example. But if they are going to use tobacco, I would like to see them use good tobacco.
Contributions towards maintenance of and expenses of representation at International Institute of Agriculture, $10,000.


Sydney Arthur Fisher: I suppose I should give an explantion of this.


George Taylor: A short one.


Sydney Arthur Fisher: I will try to be short. I have this to say to my hon. friend, however -I sympathize with his desire to put these items through as quickly as possible, but he must not expect that his friends are to be allowed to say just what they wish' and we to say nothing. This International Institute of Agriculture was finally established in Rome last year, the initiative having been taken in 1905, when the representatives of the great powers in Europe and America practically joined and decided to establish it. It seemed to me-and on investigating I am confirmed in the opinion -that this is an institute which may be productive of the greatest good in the agricultural world. It is an organization of an international character foT the purpose of collecting statistics and other information and distributing it. It is practically a clearing house of agricultural information. And, although we in Canada sometimes plume ourselves on the advanced state of our agriculture, and -our experimental progress in all agricultural subjects-I confess that I pride myself on that as a Canadian -there is no doubt that we can learn from other countries, and we can learn very much from the older countries of Europe and Asia, as well as from the newer countries of America. This institute is for the purpose of collecting information from all these countries and placing it at the disposal of the members. On the invitation of the authorities, we agreed to adhere, first in a modest wav in what is called the fourth class. But when I came to examine the matter, I found that that was hardly commensurate with what I believed to be the importance of Canada as an agricultural country and the importance of our agricultural interest, and so asked that Canada be raised to the second class, where we have to pay a somewhat larger contribution toward the expenses of the institute. Another thing we have to do is to have an officer or representative of the country in the management of the institute. I was fortunate enough, last fall, when I went to represent this government, to be able to secure the services of a gen-

tleman from Montreal, Mr. Arthur Boyer, well known in the public life of Quebec, a gentleman who has lived in the city, but is familiar also with the agricultural conditions and the country life of Canada. He was also familiar with the French language, and a gentleman of high character and great intelligence. So well were we represented at the meeting in Rome last November, that the Hon. Mr. Boyer was chosen one of a small executive committee of five to manage the affairs of the institute. We have also to prepare and send to the institute agricultural and statistical information from our own country in order that it may be tabulated along with such information from other countries and I am asking for $10,000 for the purpose of doing this work.


John Albert Sexsmith: How is that information to be made available to the farmers?


Sydney Arthur Fisher: The Department of Agriculture will get the information and distribute it. The information, however, will probably be of a character rather suitable for students and the scientific farmer, than the ordinary farmer. But we hope to be able to distribute to the farmers abstracts of the statistics. A farmer who wants this information can send to the department and get it. This institute at Rome will secure information from all countries in the world with regard to any new process that it may be desirable to introduce, or any new discovery that may be made of importance to agriculture generally.
Steamers to replace 'Argus' and 'Challenger, $40,000.


Sydney Arthur Fisher: These are vessels required for the quarantine service and have been so long in use that they are now almost unsafe, and our engineers report that they must be replaced.


Mr. CROSBY.: What has the 'Challenger' been doing?


Sydney Arthur Fisher: The 'Challenger' is one of the boats at the Grosse Isle station in Quebec, the 'Argus' is stationed at Halifax.


Adam Brown Crosby: What does the hon. gentleman expect it will cost to put a boat on the quarantine station at Halifax to replace the 'Argus'? I understood the minister to say that that boat was about to be condemned. As a matter of fact that boat has not been in use for over a year.


Sydney Arthur Fisher: She has been under repairs.


Adam Brown Crosby: I think she has been out of commission altogether for over a year.


Sydney Arthur Fisher: She has been somewhat rut of repair, and not working.


Adam Brown Crosby: For how manv months?


Sydney Arthur Fisher: 


Sydney Arthur Fisher: Perhaps six months.


Mr CROSBY.: The crew of that boat has been doing nothing all that time. If the minister intends to put a boat on that service that will be equal to the requirements at Halifax, I do not think that he can possibly do it with $10,000.


Sydney Arthur Fisher: If I find I cannot do it with this vote I will have to ask for more m a supplementary vote.


George Taylor: Last year the hon. gentleman had $30,000, and this year he is asking for $40,000.
.iMr- FISHER. We were not able to use the $30,000 and it lapsed.


Adam Brown Crosby: 
Mr FISHER.: Before the end of the last fiscal year we advertised for a boat to be purchased. A large number of boats were presented to the commission appointed to examine them, and the commission condemned them all. They were of all prices, ot all sizes and of all shapes, and none were satisfactory to the commission. The commission was composed of an officer from the quarantine staff, one from the Marine Department and one from the Public Works Department, all experts. Not having been able to buy a boat, plans and specifications are now in course of preparation for the purpose of getting a boat built, I think before long or before next fall we will succeed in having a boat.


George Taylor: Surely the statement that the hon. member for Halifax makes that the minister has kept a crew under pay a whole year doing nothing and no boat on which to employ them is not correct?


Sydney Arthur Fisher: The crew have other work at the station which they have been doing.


Adam Brown Crosby: I would rather have the crew kept idle for a year than have a boat put upon this service that is not suitable.
I am glad to hear that the minister has made efforts in the direction he has indicated. If the hon. gentleman finds it impossible to get a boat already constructed, and I imagine that he will find it difficult to do that, it would be really better to build a boat for that service, and I hope that this will be done as speedily as possible.


Sydney Arthur Fisher: I would like to carry all but the experimental farm item.


George Taylor: Reserving that item for a general discussion on any other item?
5885 MAY 6, 1909 5886


Sydney Arthur Fisher: Certainly, any question any hon. gentleman wishes to ask on any other item may be asked upon that. Mr. LAKE. Any other item that has not already been carried or discussed? Mr. FISHER. On any other of the items, except those which we have discussed, any hon. gentleman may ask any question when the experimental farm item comes up. Mr. GEO. TAYLOR. Item 42 stands. Mr. FISHER. Yes. Mr. ARMSTRONG. Then I understand that it will be quite in order to discuss any of these subjects?' Mr. FISHER. Any one of these items which have been carried just now. Mr. BLAIN. I suppose it will be understood that any item which any hon. gentleman wishes to bring up and discuss will be discussed on this item which is allowed to stand? Mr. FISHER. Not the ones which have been passed and discussed. - Some resolutions reported. ROYAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY. Mr. McCRANEY moved that Bill (No. 177) respecting the Royal Victoria Insurance Company and to change its name to the Royal Life Insurance Company of Canada be read the first time. Mr. LENNOX. This is a Bill in reference to which quite a number of gentlemen in this House have instructions. It is a matter that there is a very great deal of feeling about. I have already brought, this to t*he attention of my hon. friend the Minister of Finance, and I do not think it ought to pass to-night. I think it ought to stand over. It is a matter of very great importance. It is an effort to change the name of the Royal Victoria Insurance Company to the Royal Life Insurance Company Mr. FIELDING. I think the almost invariable practice with a Bill coming from the Senate is to place it upon the Order Paper for the first reading; otherwise, it cannot get into the possession of the House. It does not commit any body to anything. I have no knowledge of the Bill but I do not think that we should refuse to give it its first reading. Mr. LENNOX. If it will come up again. Mr. FIELDING. It will be put on the Order Paper and be reached with Private * Bills in due course. Mr. LENNOX. What is the object of the Bill?	Mr. McCRANEY. I have no personal knowledge of the Bill. I am moving it in a formal way to get it on the Order Paper. Motion agreed to, and Bill read the first time. FIRST READING. Bill (No. 178) for the relief of John Wake.-Mr. McCraney. SECOND READINGS. Mr. McCRANEY moved that Bill (No. 166) respecting the Central Railway Company of Canada, Bill (No. 171) respecting the Quebec and New Brunswick Railway Company and Bill (No. 176) to incorporate the St. Maurice and Eastern Railway Company be placed upon the Order Paper for second reading at the next sitting of the House. Mr. GEO. TAYLOR. May I ask the hon. gentleman who introduces this motion to explain about the Quebec and New Brunswick Railway Company. Is that the railway that we were discussing here to-day? Mr. McCRANEY. I have no personal knowledge of the company. Motion agreed to. MANITOBA AND NORTHWESTERN RAILWAY COMPANY. Mr. FIELDING. We have received a message from the Senate calling our attention to the fact that an error was made in a Bill which has been transmitted to this House. They have asked that the clerk of the Senate may be permitted to make a correction in the Bill rather than the Bill itself should be recalled. I understand that there is a precedent for that course. I therefore beg to move: That leave be given to the Clerk of the benate to make amendments to the Bill INo 81) an Act respecting the Manitoba and Northwestern Railway Company of Canada, as desired in their message of this day, and that a message be sent to the Senate to acquaint their honours therewith. Mr. GEO. TAYLOR. Are they in the habit of making typographical errors in the Senate as well? Mr. FIELDING. Some one stated yesterday that that sort of thing is in the air. I may say that the message requests this House to permit the clerk of the Senate to correct a clerical error in the amendment made by the Senate to Bill (No. 81) by substituting the words 'section 9' for the words 'clause 8,' .and also to substitute the word 'are' for the word 'is.' Mr. GEO. TAYLOR. These are clerical errors, not typographical. Mr. FIELDING. Yes. .


FIRST READING.
[Stage Direction]
Bill (No. 175) respecting the Canadian Patriotic Fund.-Sir Frederick Borden.
Mr. FIELDING moved the adjournment of the House.
George Taylor: What business will be taken up to-morrow?


William Stevens Fielding: At the morning sitting it is intended to take up a number of Bills on the Order Paper.


Richard Stuart Lake: The Immigration Bill?


William Stevens Fielding: The Prime Minister requested me to speak of Bills generally. I cannot say as to the Bills that may be controversial. At the afternoon sitting the House will be moved into Committee of
Supply, so that the hon. member for Maison-neuve (Mr. Verville) may have an opportunity to bring some labour matters before the attention of the House, as to which he made a request to the government some days ago. In the evening session, as already understood, private Bills will be taken up for the whole evening.


George Taylor: I thought the motion of the hon. member for Victoria and Haliburton (Mr. Hughes) had the right of way.


William Stevens Fielding: I think my hon. friend (Mr. Hughes) is content to let the Empire slumber for a few days longer. '
