The above would be in point. if it bounty was asked for the cultivation of cotton. or the uveet pointer. or the silk worm; for which neither our soil nor climate i6 suitable. and would not be at any ilnic sustaining—but not tenable when applied to our fisheries. For this fact.thnt we have an inexhaustible amount of fish on our shores. ot‘wliich nearly the only use that has been made, but been to enrich the Nova Scutians and Atticrlcnns; but 1‘. 1-2. Islanders have not received utiy benefit cout‘ paratirely to what they ought to have done. Wise legislation would materially assist in bringing about it remedy for this. But to follow out your own line of argument. let us suppose that the farmers of I’ . E. Island did not raise a suflicient quantity of potatoes for home consumption. and that a quantity had to be imported to supply tltedclicicucyinstead ol'cultivutiug them here where the soil and climate is most suitable to produce them to an almost fabulous quantity. and that instead ofimporting the potatoc. we could luive by proper management a large surplus to export. Sow under these circumstances. would it not be wise policy to grant a bounty for the rais- ing of potatoes just in order to develope the article as a source of wealth. and to continue the bounty till the business Ivccumc self nus- tuiuing. and no longer. Under these circum- stances will any one. have the liardibood to say that the country at large would not be benctittcd by the cultivation of the potato

Now sir. our fisheries are nearly prec in that po~iiiou. We have an abundance of material to work upon. umlcvelopctl.-—nml it is hiin time that we should s c the pruiits ot'our otvn natural resources in the fisheries with the “ Nova Sections and Yankees."

lint, muny entertain sci-ions doubts whether the lislicrics would be a paying but‘mogs m- tiot. us it has been often tried. and the result in most in. anccs has been a loss. New I do not hesitate to s: ' that the cause of failure is mostly attributable to the want of" knowledge of those who have engaged in it: for in most cases vessels not at idl suitable in model. rind without a proper otitfit. with crews on heard not acquainted with the business, have been sent on fishing voyages; ntid the result has been as it. could not be otherwise—a failure. Matty think any sort ofu vessel with goodsou- men on board will do to prosecute the fishing business. but this is altogether a mistake. Fishing is as much it iueclutuical art as u Carpenter or \‘v'utclinmker. There Is it tritin~ lug required before any titan can become a good fisherman, and until this is done—that is to learn the art of fishing—it cannot be carried on profitably.

This may seem an odd assertion. But if it can be shown tlnit experienced fishermen can make front Elli to £25 per month on otir fishing ground, while our men fishing along- side of them can hardly make us many sliil~ lings. I think it will be a strong proof to es- tnblisli what I have said as to the want of knowledge on the part of our fishermen.

I have already referred to_ the Nova Sections. many of whom come to our Ihoréx every year and take a‘full fur: iii front five to eight weeks; the time they take to catchtlicir full load chiefly depends oil the weather and not to the chance of finding the fishy/For. the fish are always on the ground fifim the middle of May till the bitter partnf October. I have known frequently. five men to take one hundred Quinlals in n wetk,—while at the saute time our vessels fishing alongside of them. wauhl not take orcrtm Qiit'utale. This much for the cod-fishing.

The success which attends the American vessels in so well known in fishing Mackcrnl. that I need scarcely refer to it only to any that our attempts to follow in their tracks have been miserable failures; all of whichis nt- tribtitablc to the causes I have already minted. that is our almost (and ignorance of the first principch of the business front beginning to end. I may say here tlnit the above remarks have altogether a reference to schooner fish- ing. IIIHII fishing is different in malty points. so much that a good boat fisherman may be of very little ncrvlce in a schooner. unilcerlitinly not at all qualified to take charge of a fishing voyage in n schooner. Now the claim oti government aid resin on the following:—
