[NOTES FROM THE CAPITAL. THE FISHERY AWARD,

MR. DBRECKEN’S SPEECH.

| Mr. Brrcken moved for an Address to His Excellency the Governor General, fer icopies of all papers and correspondence he- itween the Government of Prince Edward |island and the Dominion Gevernment, from the 24th of March, 1879, to the pre- isent date, relative to the claims of Prince | Edward Island to a portion of the Fishery |Award. He said: Lam aware that a dele- ication froin the Government of Prince Ed- ward Taland waited upon the Dominion Cabinet, during recess, on the subject of the Fishery Award. 1 wish, at the com: mencement, to draw the attention of the House to the positien that Prince Edward island occupies, in relation to this very im- portant question. To give this House some idea of the value of the fisheries around the ceast of the Province that 1 come from, I may state that the evidence taken before the Commission at Halifax proved—and it was admitted by Mr. Foster, the United States’ agent and one of the leading coun sel before that Commission, and I here quote his very words-——‘* That the thres- mile limit of the bend of Prince Edward Island, and down by Margeree, were the two points to which almost ali the evidence of inshore fishing in this case related.” The mackerel constitute sixty per cent. of the whele catch taken by the United States’ fishermen in British waters; their great value must have contributed considerably in arriving at the amount of the award in favor of Great Britain. I believe that from two-thirds to three-fourths of the mackerel

around the coast of Prince Edward Island.

I may further state that the two prircipal sources ef wealth now left to us are agri

culture and fisheries. The Treaty of Wash- ington was signed in May, 1871. On the same day Mr. Fish, Secretary of State for the United States, addressed to the British Minister at Washington a despatch, in which, by direction of the President, he proposed ‘*that as the Treaty could not come into effect until after the legislation contemplated for its ratification should have taken place, it seemed to him (Mr. Fish) to be in accordance with the interests of the Government of Great Britain and the United States, and in the furtherance of the object and spirit of the Treaty, that the citizens of the United States should have the enjoyment of the Treaty to fish within the three-mile -limit.” Earl Kim- berley, in his despatch of 17th June, 1871, to the Lieutenant Governor of Prince Ed- ward Island, strengly urges upen the Gey- ernment of that Province that, for reasons stated in his despatch of the same date to Lord Lisgar, the application made by Mr.

Secretary Fish should be acceded to by Prinee Edward Island. The people of that Province have always lecked upon the fish- eries as of very great value; they then be- lieved that the principal market for their agricultural produce and fish was to be found in the United States. The adyan- tage of the American market was sensibly felt and appreciated during the continuance of the Reciprocity Treaty. The fisheries ef the Island are, perhaps, for their extent, the most productive and valu- able in America, and are very much frequented by American fishermen. We have always loeked upon these fisheries as of such value in the eyes of the Americans that they would, in case of negotiations, have gone far to bring about another Reci- procity Treaty, or, at any rate, such trade concessions as would admit the produce of our farmers and fishermen, duty free, into the United States markets. The inhabi- tants of our Island were very unwilling to yield up such a rich mine of wealth without receiving a just and substantial equivalent therefor. But the Government of the Island, while feeling that a co.amerciat arrangement with the United States would have been more acceptable than a money compensation, and finding that the British Commissioners at Washington failed te in- duce the American Government to change its policy, the people of the Island being loyal and much attached te the institutions ot their Mether Country, in deference ie the strongly expressed wish of Her Majes

ty’s Government, recommended that the application made through Secretary Fish should be granted, so that American fish

ermen might be allowed, during the year 1871, the provisional use of the privileges they would be entitled to enjoy after the ratification of the Treaty. Our people were glad that the prospect of an amicable settle- ment of disputes, which then, unhappily, existed between England and the United States, should be arrived at. They yielded, asi have already said, to the request of Earl Kimberley. Secretary of State for the Colonies, and expressed their willingness te accept any reasonable money compensa- tion in addition to the privileges secured by Tresty, but, at the same time, stated that nothing of the kind had been guaran- teed tothem. The Custom ofiicers of the Island were, in July, 1871, instructed to diseonti for the season of that year, arther orders, the observance of

an

esnght by American fishermen were taken :

}

lfishermen. Subsequently the Treaty of | Washington, so far as it affected the Island, was ratified by Acts 35 and 36 Victoria,Cap, 3, passed in June, 1872, which provided for the admission of ish and fish oil, the pro- ducts of the fisheries of. the United States, iduty free, inte Prince Edward Island. From that date, the Americans have se- cured the right to fish within the three inilo limit for the term of the Treaty. In making the coneession asked for by Mr. Wish, the Celenists, who were engaged in lishing, and were exporters to the United States, sustained a less, Since the abro- gation of the Reciprocity Treaty, the duty on Colonial caught mackerel was $2 per barrel. I may here state that the mackerel fighing is the only one that Americans take an interest in around our coasts. When Mr. Fish asked for Americans to he allow- ed to fish within the three mile limit, be- tween the signing and ratification of the Treaty, the American Government prom- ised to recommend to Congress that the duty on fish and fish oil, should he remitted from July, 1871. After the con- cession asked for had been made and the Americans had received the very profitable advantage ef fishing in commen with our fishermen within the three-mile limit, and when the remittance of the duty promised was asked for, the President of the United States declined to recommend to Congress to make such refund, stating that the pro- pess! made threngh Mr. Fish contemplated the united action ef allthe British Celon- les, and that if would net be practicable to separate them, er carry into effect for one what the President was willing to recom: mend forall the Colonies. ‘This refund of duties has never been made,-although the American jishermen have reaped the profit f the bargain. Prince

from their side of Edward ‘Island entered Confederaiion in 1875. Had the Commission which eat at Halifax been appeinted and erganized within a reasonable time. we would have occupied the same pesition as Newfound. land, and would have been entitled to receive our share of the Award upon the same basis, as a million of dollars have been apportioned to that Province. When we ylelded to the request of Earl Kimberley we entertained the reasonable expectation that we would have been dealt with as New- foundland has been, and I submit most strongly that the accidental delay which postponed the Fishery Comumission at Hali- fax to the year 1878, ought net te preju- dice the claims ef Prince Edward Island so evidently based upon the principles of justice. Had that award been made befere we entered Confederation, no one would deny our right to be considered in the same way as Newfoundland has been. I believe that the Right. Hon, the Leader of the Gevernment has a warm side for Prince Edward Isiand (Sir John McDonald, hear hear), and that he will not overlook our claim on account of a technical objection, thai, since we have entered Confederation, the fisheries have been a Dominion right. They are practically and substantially a territorial and Provincial interest. What, I would ask, has the prospereus and wealthy Province of Ontario, the great North-West Territories, about whose illi mitable and undefined boundaries we have heard so much these last few days, what have they in common with the fisheries of the Maritime Provinces! The destruction of the fishing indnstry in no way effeets them, and here, | may state, that the ex- travagantly destructive manner by which American fishermen follow that occupa- tion in British waters, through the use ef nets and seines, has very much injured and

depressed fishing as an _ eccupation in the Miaritime Provinces, and is

fasi rendering it a profitless occupation for eur own fishermen. I have said that we have a strong, equitable claim for ashare of the Fishery Award, and one strong point I urge is that. we are an Island. During five win'ier months we are cut off from al! trade communications with eur more favored provinees of the mainland, and completely depvived ef participating in the advantages of those great and costly works such as railways, lucks and canals which are so necessary for developing the resources of this Dominien ef ours. We, Islanders, do not allude te this subject in a narrow or sectional feeling. We believe the great outlay for these costly works is absolutely necessary, aud we cherish the hope, in common with other parts ef the Dominion, tliat they will tend to build up this country, At the same time, the Government must not ferget that while we bear our share of the cost, we directly receive mo equivalent. And even, during the summer months, when communication is epen, the adyan- tages te us, forming as we do, part of the rselvege oi the Dominion, are nuise percepti- bly felt as in_more centrally situated Pro- vices. On that ground, I strongly urge upon the Cabinet led bymy right hon friend, that we have strong claims to have the applica- tion that I new make favorably entertained. There is one other subject to which I wish to allnde : Last Session a new trade policy was inaugurated, knewn as the National Pelicy. [I have been a supporter of that policy, and have, as yet seen no reason to change my epinion. I believe it was necessary to build up the industries of the country generally, and that already good results are beginning to show themselves. In my humbie opinion, it will be well that this policy should have a fair trial, and, under the control of our able Finance Minister, we have reasonable grounds for expecting a revival of trade and employ- ment of the people. But, while this is all true with respect to the mainland and those
