The Commer- m'ul Wgonc of the ablcst and most iiliiuential mercantile organs pnblishcd in the city of Boston hopes that the costly blunder will soon be re ealcd. and sug- gests that the present is a end time to imitate ttho negotiation. n course ot an article commenting on this subject the journal designated says :—

We should be glad to kllow whether anything is going on between the diplov matists, at Washington. to the end of res- tcrill reciprocal trade with Canada and the If aritfmo Provinces. This is n ques- tion vital to the interests ofNew England. which. almost without exception, have been strictly compromised and injured by the inconsiderate repeal of the treaty of 1854.

The ex )crlence of the last two years has fully dcmonsiratcd the eogency of the reasons urged by this and other commer- cial papers against such political action asa matter of policy and sound political econ- omy. If it was designed as a punishment to our neighbors, for their misplaced sym- pathies during our domestic struggle. it is one which has recoiled on our own heads The injury has been to some extent mutil- al, but circumstances connected with our currency and foreign commerce have af- forded them a greater compensation for the loss of our trade than we have been able to obtain in other quarters.

The system of bounties, to a lell strung cxi ption might be taken on tllcol'i-iieal grounds. is found to work well. It enables the Canadians ctl'ect- ilally to compete with the Americans in the same market; the Americnn bounty is .fitl, it

' is not regularly paid, nlrd is paid in currency,

though the fishermen claim ill gold; the L. lladian bounty is promptly paid ill gold and it ' ' ded equally between the owners of the . .,:c and the ilsllcrlncn. if they be different persons. This law of course only applies to Canada and dr’ 5 not applyto New Brunswick or 'nvu b‘cu Moreover many of the llsll‘ crrnen ill the latter Province go more into the coast than into dclq tishing. 'l'lle ques- tioll now engaging the attention of the ite- pll'irncnt of Marine and Fishing is as to the shape the law should be nrade to assume in adapting it to the lute-rents and wishes oi the .II: ilnc Provinces. Would they be willing to K the, bounty system extend-Id to them for a time, uniil the Fishing interests m‘flml" cd greater strength? \Vnuld they be more willing to do so than Ontario alld Quebec would be to have the system abolished" These are important inquiries, alld it is with a view to answer them ill a way satisfactory to our iishcrmen, :illd our shipbuilding interests. ill so far s they are connected with the i’ hing interests, that Mr. Whitcllcr is now collecting information, at the instances of the Minister of Marine aull Fisheries . It is evident that the bounty system lilllst either be abolished or extended to the Maritime Province, ulld adapt- ed to the cireulnstence. Some of our tisllcr- nlcn correspondents have demanded some

I such encouragement very loudly, as well as

an increase of‘dlc cost of license, paid by im- t-r r fishermen, and we filld that the fit ng of the department is ill lover of meetng their views so far as possible. Mr. \Vhitehcr in- forms as that the ystcm has worked well in ' 'd to all llcccptional st: e of things, lll ' favorable to it, looking at it from a prnl ll pnillt. of view; our tl-shcrnlcn will generally agree with him, though some interests may not. The subject is one of the 'rclltvsl importance to the entire Dominion. It may be very well for our oarsnlcn to be the champions oftlle world—to h ve their names mentioned allil their photogr plls circulated all over the l)ollliuioll—-()nlariu and Quebec pllllnillg themselves on tile aquatic pow " of St. John—but it will be still better if w tnr-

nish our oarsnlcn and seamen with profitable ,

work; it'rvc stimulate them in taking pos- session of the teeming wealth ufollr seas and cstu " , mid bays and rivers. Itis to this congenial department of labor that the thoughts ofthc Minister of Marine and Fish- eries are now turned, and we have little doubt that, with his usual energy, he will soon illi- part such ‘Ill impetus to tile fishing interests of the Maritime l'ri 'illccs‘, as will inspire our fishermen with fresh lirdour and lead tllctll to redouble lln-ir ctl'orts ill search of the *- spoils of the ocean."
