1.-THE DEFALCATIoN AT THE METHOD


To The Ed{tor Of The Tribune
Sir: The expose which you and other edi-
tors O, city Journals have made in regard to the Method
lat Book Concern will, when thoroughly investigated
probably amount to this and nothing moro;
T. That certain persons, as the heads Of departments
Authorized In consequence OF the beef that they
were competent from experience and talent to purchase
tho material TO DO used in tLor departments for the
manufacture OF books. &c.
H. That those persons were approached by brokers'
merchants and manufacturers, with oilers 10 furnish
these goods OF the best quality and for the lowest market
price,. That or more Of these brokers, &C.
Informed the purchasers that In they decided to buy
Of them they would divide tho profits with them. Now
the question arises whether such an arrangement can be
called defalcaton," or swindo at the expense on
the Methodist Book Concern; whether have night, as
merchant manufacturer. broker, to agree to divide
my profits With person who secures for mo sale OF my
goods II IL can be shown that the articles bought aud
used paid for AT the price OF like goods IN

selling were willing In order make the sale, TO give
