Another objeaioii (lite ilonottrable Member Was,
it ego rxpence to• which the holders. of Exche•
4 . ils would be ptit for letters of attorney, but
to this he Mould anfwer,. fuch an expence was not
caiwolfory,but one which every prudent man, who
would be at the trouble of transferring flock in the
bib,' way, might avoid: No man would accept
the bargain if it was not his intereft ; and no man
was preffed to accept it who thought it more his
adrantage to decline. The Right Hon. Gentleman
then went into a variety of calculations, hatements,
and recapitulations, in fimport of his original pro-
pofition, to prove that the Hon. Member, in many
c•f the arguments on which he principally relied,
had fallen into palpable error.
Mr. DFNT raid a few words in explanation,
Which brought up Mr. Addington in a fhort reply.
Mr. TIERNEY role to exprefs his mole complete
and cordial agent to the whole of the propofition
fo clearly laid down, and fo ably defended by the
Right Honourable the Chancellor of the Exche-
quer. He law the outlines of the propofition firft
in the newt-papers, and was fo clearly convinced
on the fubjed, that he had heard no argument
from the Honourable Gentleman who oppofed it,
to change his opinion in the flighteft degree.—
with refpeet to Loans in general, there was
one point on which his Honourable Friend, and
the Right Honourable Gentleman. feemed pretty
much agreed, but upon which his own opinion
was by no means decided, namely, that competi-,
tion was in all cafes good. There might be inftan- '
ces where the Minitter could negotiate a much
better bargain for the public by private contract,
than by competition ; more efpecially that fort of
competition to the exiftence of which among cer-
tain monied friends of his, the Hon. Member he
believed was no stranger. He meant thole forts
of COirpetitions between the Loan Bidders, which
fo far from being real, was a mere mockery, and
in reality but a combination to keep down the
tenni of tote Loan. But in this cafe competition
eras impoffible ; there was no room big enough to
contain the number of individuals who were the
Holders of Exchequer Bills, for the purpofe of dif-
cuffing their interests, and they were truly at liberty
to adopt or rejed the offer of the Minifter. Upon'
Use whole, from the reafoning of the Honourable
Member, it was utterly impoffible for the Minifter
to avoid cenfure; for the Honourable Member on
the one hand arraigned him for not treating the
Bill-holders with' the kind of advantages they
ou . tto enjoy, and on the other with not making
ear
his 'n fufficiently advantageous for the Public.
For fucr a fpecies of fharp attack, he owned he was
at a lots to account, coming as it did from a gen-
tleman difavowing all opporttion, and difclaiming
all hohility. But for his part the bargain altoge-
ther had his molt decided approbation, and the
Motion his cordial fupport.
The qneftion being then put, was agreed to,
When the Chairman left the Chair, and was or-
dered to report to-morrow.
Ordered that the Committee of Ways and Means
do fit again on Wednefday.—Houfe Adjourned.
