NOTES FROM TUE CAPITAL. HOUSE OF COMMONS,

Debate on the Fishery Award.

MR, BRECKESN’S SPERCH.

Mr. Brecken: [ am sorry to see this

House is this: Have these Lower Proy-

Pre-| injer addressed the House on the constitn- tional aspects of the question; fer, although my acquaintance with him has been shert, his reputation is such that | have formed the impression that to listen to him ona question of eonstitutional law, is to learn something. | do not know what the Richt Honorable member has said; but | ean! draw upon my imagination as te the course} of argument he would likely pursue. fam! net prepared to say that by the strict and unbending rules of internatienal law, ‘he fishing territery from which the Americans were excluded previous to the Washingion Treaty, is Provincial property ; but leav- ing out of censideration the strict priu- ciples of law, I weuld ask the ion. Leacer of the Government to say whether we are not in justice entitled to what we are ask- ing fer. The Premier is a great statesman ; he has a large and generous heart, and an excellent and well cultivated mind ; and when he goes down to his little narrow cold home, his dust to fraternize with its kindred dust, before he is consigned to his grave, if a post mortem were held upon |iim and his heart examined, we would, I he- lieve, find distinctly engraved on if, the words, ‘* Canada and her prosperity, God bless her.” I ask him to listen to me, and although he is a lawyer, he must remember that law is one thing and justice sometimes another. 1 would ask him to consider the claims of Prince Edward Island, [am not asking for pity. I am not begging for broad, | am demayd- ing what I believe to be her right, and | will tell you why, Mr. Speaker. The Treaty of Washington was made in 1871; at that time Prince Edward Island was nota part of the Dominien of Canada, I do not say that it is a calamity for her that she has thrown in her let with the Dominion. | ain leyal enongh to believe that the policy of Confederation is one which tends te bind us closer to the mother country, and is one which every Canadianjshould support. We were assured that if we came into the Union this little Island ef ours would receive many advantages, that the little baby of the Dominion would never want for food. I would like to know what interest the rest of the Dominion has in our fisheries. if they were developed weuld it put one cent into the pockets of Ontario, or the mure distant western Provinces! If they were destroyed would it take a cent out ef their pockets. The Right Hon. the Leader of the Government tells me the fisheries are Dominion preperty. Technically, he may be right, but practically he is wrong. ('n the very day that the Treaty of Washington was signed, Mr. Fish, Secretary of State fer the United States, addressed to Sir Edward Thornten, the British Minister at Washington,.a despatch asking that the citizens of the United States should have the enjoyment of the liberty to fish within the territorial waters of Her Britannic Majesty on the coasts of Canada, Prince Edward Island and Newfoundiand, during the season of 1871 and 1872. [ was Attor- ney General of the Island at that time aud when we acceded to the request of Mr. Fish we gave upa trump card. We knew well the valne which our American friends put upon our fisheries. We alwaya con- sidered that with the the fishery limit in| our hands we were in @ position to deal | with the Americans, and that we had some-| thing to offer them in lien of reciprocal free | trade. We knew about the ditticulties of the Mother Country with the United States. —the Alabama claims—and we unselfishly yielded up our interests rather than that any trouble should arise between Hngiand andthe United States. That the Right Hon. the Firat Minister may net think that lam drawing upon my imaginatien, but that Iam stating what the Government of Prince Edward Island felt and thought was

}any claim to a share of the award, the fact of our net sharing to a full extent in the benefit of the National Policy, strength- ened the equity of onr case. If we havea substantial, equitable claim, we do not want to be thrown oveft by the cast iron rules of International law. Ail the at-

that the privilege accorded to their citizens under Article 18 of this Treaty, are not of | greater value than those accorded Britannic Majesty, the amount of money compensation that would be given to ihe Island would be insignifieant. The Com- intitee of Council, by their Minnte, further submitted that a commercial arrangement with the United States, in consideration of

the use of the fisheries would have been most acceptable, but as the Royal High Commissioners were unable to induce

the American Government te change its commercial policy, the people of the Island being extremely loyal! and devotedly attach- ed to British Institutions weuld be mest unwilling to threw any obstacle in the way of an amicable settlement of all canses of differences between (ireat Britain and the United States, and would therefore willing- ly accept any reasonable money compensa- tion in additien te the privileges granted as an equivalent. But under the Treaty nothing of the kind was guaranteed them. It cannot be said we do not understand the meaning of the word ‘‘enough.”” 1 enes sew it defined in the Toronto Globe as meaning alittle mere. We believed that when we wore going inte Confederation that the fish- eries belonged practically. te us. If tho Americans were admitted to ish within the three mile limit we would reeeive compen

sation. Leoking over the Right Honerable Gentlemen's reselution | see he says some- thing about pretecting the fisheries. What is that argument worth! I[f there never had been a Treaty of Washington the Dom- inion Gevernment would have been bound to protect the fisheries. So we have been so often euchred by our Republican neigh- bors we hardly expected to receive anytliing in the shape of compensation for the con- cessions made to them, and that is perhaps the real reason why so little was said about eur claim toa share of the Award. Now suppose ne amount had been awarded te the Dominion or that the Award had been the other way, would not the fisheries have to be protected at the expense ef the Dom- inion Exchequer? Suppose that Western Canada were subjected te another Fenian raid, would not the Province of Prince Kd- ward Island, in common with the other Provinces of the Dominion, have to contri- bute her queta to the cost of defending the ceuntry. Among the various duties and responsibilities assumed by the Dominion when the Provinces ef British -Nerth America were confederated, was the pro- tection of the fisheries, and that, too, when there was no expectation of ever receiving a cent from the United States in the shape of compensation for the enjoyment of our fisheries. Another answer to the protection and defence argument of my Right Hon. friend is this: Suppose, when the term for which the Treaty was made has expired, that the American Government shall have fallen back en the old state ef things as they existed before the Treaty, the tisheries will then have to be protected ai the cgst of the Dominion, and that protection te be at all efficient will involve more than one or two small steamers, such as the Druid and the Newfield. It will require a small navy to make the protection of any substantial benefit to Deminion fishermen. The cost must necessarily lie heavy. I can well imagine what dis- satisfaction this expenditnre would cause to the people ef Ontario and the great North-West who have practically no in- terest in these fisheries, and care very little about then. A strong feeling would

their position, I will read frem the Minute of Council of the Island Government of the date of the 17th July, 1871. The committee of Council after referring to the dispatch of the 17th June, 1871, from Earl Kimberly, then Secretary of State for the Celonies, to Lieutenant Governor Robinson, then administering the Government of the Island, in which it was strongly urged upon the Government of the Island that for reasons stated in a dispatch of the same date as above, from Earl Kimberiy to Lerd Lisgar, the same course should be pursued as in 1854, and the application made by the United States Government acceded to by Prince Edward Island, so that the Ameti-

can fishermen might be at once allowed,

goon arise, and the members frem the |west would ebject to the expenditure of | their taxes to protect an industry in which | practically they have no interest. {probability a pressure would be brenght on the Government of the day. The pro- tection, would be minimized, and in eifect American fishermen would fish in our own waters free of cost. With reference to the National Policy, te the effect that it did net benefit Prince Edward Island as much as it did in the other parts of the Do- minion, my remarks have been misrepre- sented. 1 did not-say or argue that because that Policy was not as advantageous to us as it is te other Provinces, that therefore

We do not throw away money on Canals, Fort Francis Locks, and a variety of works of that kind. [ think we will receive the fairest consideration at the hands of the (Govern- ment, and then we willbe quiet. We are

charged with being grumblers. Unless we are continually gruimbling and pressing ovr claims we fshall get nothing. [ can well imagine seme of the difficulties that the Gevernment have to encounter in disposing of the Award ; but | press strongly upon the exceptional claims of Prinee Edward Is!and. Look at our isolated pesition, think of the millions of dollars that have been spent on the Pacifie Railway, much ef it under the late (rovernment for surveys alone. Milliens that have heen irretriev- ably lest, and fer which the Dominion never received a ceni’s worth of benefit. If Prince Edward Island were to receive 5 per cent. on the large amounts that have been uselessly squandered in the North- West. we would be astisfied and quiet for As I said, when ! addressed this House on a former oecasion, tie Lower Provinces du not eb- ject to the construction of the Pacifie Rail- way. We look upon it as a grand werk necessary ,or the development of the new great Lone Land, But at tiis time mem- bers scarenly realize the difficulties that Prince Edvard Islanders lave to underge, aad how we are in want of the expenditure of public money. Leok at our mail com- munication at this season of the year. I am new ten days without having received any letters frem the Island. | heard the Finance Minister the other day say that the result ef the Gevernment Railway Policy would be that in a few years we shail have hundreds of thousands ef people in the vast territery of the North Wert. I! believe his prediction will prove true. Weare heping to bring this about. Prince Edward Island is ene fertieth part of the Bominion in population, and more ihan that in importance. Let us then have a fair proportien in the advantages of being part of the Dominion. I could eccupy the time of this Bouse for heurs on this subject, but it weuld not be wise for me todoso. I feel very warmly onit. I hope the Government will take our claim inte their grave consideration, and not overlook what is due to that smiling Tittle Island, the most beautify), the most fertile, and the most densely populated portion of the Dominion of Canada,

At Covehead, on the evening ef Monday a severe thunderstorm passed over the place and in the intense darkness accompanying itan accident occurred, which, however, sad as it it, there is reason to rejoices was not so bad as it might have proved te be. Indeed nothing but a werciful Previdence averted a yreat catastrophe. Two young men, one theteachsr in Stanhepe and the eldest son of John Leitch, Esq., were com- ing home in a cart, and on approaching the bridge which spans the ereek, one of con- siderable depth and width, the teacher got out of the ‘cart, the better to grope their way so as they might enter on the bridge se- curely, hardly able to see the horse's head, though he held the bridle in his hand, the lightning itself being so vivid as to deprive one of the power of visien. But, un- fortunately, he followed the old read which Jed on to the old bridge, the abutments ef which were left mest culpably without a fender te ward off the unwary traveller on adark night. After that the new bridge close by its side was built a year er twe ago. Of course when they preceeded to the end of the abutment the whele thing went ever inte the water, amid the debris of the old bridge, the teacher guing dewn first and the horse and cart with the other man in it en the top ef him.
