THE FISHERIES QUESTION.
Exhaustive Speech on the Fisheries Treaty
BY HON. SENATOR HOWLAR.
(Continued. )
Hon. Mr. Howian.—I will now call atten- tion to the other great item of our fisheries, and that which is the most important to our people, the question of bait. To understand the bait question thoroughly it will be neces- sary for the hon. gentleman to remember that off the Nova Scotia coast, within a measurable distance, are the St. Peter’s Bank and the Green Bank, which are nearer than the banks of Newfoundland. An American vessel leav- ing a New England port can bait sufficient to goon the ground, but the bait will not last ina fresh condition sufficiently
da}Jong to enable her to fillup and go home to
port ; but if she could buy bait in some of our
ports, she could take uP her lines in the evening on the fishing bank, reach port by morning and = get back before evening to the fishing
giound. Thus the most important question to the New England fishermen has been this one of bait. Without it they are unable to carry on deep-sea fishing, and have only the fishery of the banks of Newfoundland, which is exceedingly dangerous. Of the number of vessels that have gone there every season it has never been known that the whole of them have returned in any season ; it is called the fisherman’s graveyard, and none but the most hardy and intrepid spirits go to the Grand Banks, and most of those men are Canadians from Nova Scotia and particularly from the Island of Cape Breton. It has never yet been known in the history of that bank fishing that the same number of men and vessels that went out returned to port. Still they pursue their calling because it is a necessity of the fishing business that every year the men shall earn wages for the support of their families.
Hon. Mr. Macponatp (B. C.)—Is the fish-
Sing extra good on that bank ?
Hon. Mr. Howtan.—Yes. Of course it is a totally exposed place and they have to fish in 80 to 120 fathoms of water. Once their anchor is down it is not easy to3get it up; they have to stay there until the vessel is loaded, and im heavy gales of wind vessels have been known to go down.
Hon. Mr. Kaulback.—Are you referring now to the Grand Bank ?
Hon Mr. Howlan.—Yes. Of the fleet that visited Grand bank last year there were 145 men lost :—

Mr. Kaulback.—Chiefly in United
States vessels ?
Hox. Mr. How.an. — Altogether United States vessels. I do not think that we do any Grand Bank fishing, and 1 do not aan that we *9 any winter fishing there at all.
Hon. Mr. Kavutsacu.—We do very little.
Hon. Mr. Howrian.—I am somewhat ac- quainted with the fisheries of Norway, Scot- land and Ireland, and I do not think there is any fishery in the world where the risk is so reat as on the banks of Newfoundland. I have here the total catch that comes into the United States markets, not only the home catch, but the catch from our waters, and without going over a!l the different items, I will take that which stands next as a mer- chantabie fish—-the codfish. The total do- mestic receipt, home caught, amounted to 141,792 quintals, and with that were 35,112 quintals of foreign fish—total, 176,904 quin- tals. jIn dealing with this question the other night, the hon. member from Ottawa stated the great proportion of our fish was sold in the United States. Those who are at all acquainted with the fisheries and our foreign market for fish, are aware that the fish which come from Canada, par- ticularly from the Baie de Chaleur and from Lunenburg, are worth more in the markets of the world than these United States caught fish.
THE GREAT MAJORITY
of fish caught in the United States waters are for home consumption. With their 62,000,000 people, and their great and extensive arteries of commerce, their fish are sent to all portions of the country, and sell for more in a fresh than in a salted state. But so faras the West Indies, South America or Mediterranean mar- kets are concerned, they are supplied from the fisheries of Canada. I have digressed for the purposé of placing before the House the exact value of the fisheries, which, we have been told, were given away and would entail ruin upon us. I put thus frankly the facts before the House for the a ae of placing them in
ssion of a knowledge of the value of those fisheries which, it was said, we were about to be robbed of. leave that subject, I this—that the whole fishery question appears to me almost in the ition ofa family quarrel. The father and the elder son went into the forest and made a home for them- selves. After the son had gone out for him- self upon another homestead, the father and he had quarrelled,' and required to make a division of the spoil. It has always appeared to me that although these fisheries are ours we should not forget, and history will not permit us to forget, that the people of the Gnited States assisted usin gaining the fisheries, which have formed the subject of this recent arbitration. It is a very important factor in the case, looked at from several standpoints. It is important that the flag which covers our tonnage is found perhaps in a greater degree in the harbors of the United States in carrying to foreign markets of the world their products than perhaps any other flag in the world, and
them and are willing to be neighbors as we always have been, there is no doubt in the world that the fact enunciated last night by
the hon. member from Ambherst, as told to
Betore I) may say!
whilst we have a very large commerce with
him by Charles Sumner, is correct. I can endorse it. When I was in Washington in 1869, Sumner told me almost the same words.
IT IS AN OPEN QUESTION,
one that I am not so well satisfied about, whether we were not to blame in the course we took at that time. Here wasa netion with which we were on friendly terms. We ‘had traded with them, had intermarried with |them, and ina moment of excitement they ‘had quarrelled among themselves. Some of ‘our people espouse the cause of the north, some the cause of the south. There was this to be said, that while they did not expect the sympathy of people on the other side of the Atlantic they did expect some sort of regret from us that family dissensions had so in- creased, that a storm had swept over the country and deluged almost every hearthstone with blood. They did thiak that they were entitled to our sympathy, and that was why the treaty was abrogated. It is true that like begets like. Little ‘invidious distine- tions were drawn about articles of commerce, and one thing after another occurred to cause vexation and annoyance and formed just ground for complaint. For instance take this very fisheries question. After the repeal of the Reciprocity Treaty,the Internal Rovenue laws of the United States, forbade any fishermen from buying salt or barrels, and the latter had to be stamped and registered in the Custom House, so as to prevent the fishermen from buying barrels made in Canada. Then the next thing that came up was with regard to tins containing lobsters, and so it went on from one thing to another until we put our cruisers on to protect our fisheries. It has been stated here that no such steps have ever been taken before. Those who had read the history of Nova Scotia are well aware that the legisla- ture of that Province in 1837 appropriated £500 to put cruisers on for the protection of the fisheries. We put those cruisers on, and instructions were issued to the commanders, copies of which I have had the pleasure of reading. Ihave also seen the instructions given to the commanders of American ships, and in all cases they were on both sides that they should be very careful in carrying out what was considered the law. In the first place, when the American gunboats were sent to the fishing grounds, they were «structed wherever they met one of their vessels to notify them that they must not get inside of the three mile limit, add that if they did they must take the consequences. It has gone on that way until we have found a means of settling the difficulty amicably. We have heard a good deal of talk here about
THE HEADLAND QUESTION,
That has been an open and vexed question ; neither nation has tried to carry that out strictly. By this treaty we have set‘led that. Now bear a moment with me while I describe to you a master of an American fishing vessel. Probably his father had been a fisherman—- and this description will apply alike to our Canadian fishermen or perhaps in a greater measure than to the United States fishermen —he has served his time before the mast of oue of those fishing vessels until he has accumulated a little money, going to the Grand Banks and mackereling in the summer. By his industry and temperate and careful habits he has so impressed a merchant that he is able to take care ‘of a vessel that he is placed in charge of one, and all his earnings he puts into that vessel, owning perhaps one sixteenth of it. That vessel is his home—his everything. It is no’ only his past and pre- sent but it is his future. He knows that if he is succersful in his voyages it advances him until he becomes owner of the vessel and is able finally to retire as he has geen others
retire. I point this ont to show you how careful these fishermen are not to get into trouble.
(To be Continued. )
Marriage and Divorce.
A decision has recently been rendered in England, which is one of no little import- ance in relation to the question of interna- tional divorce. The general rule of law is that a marriage, legally valid where it was contracted, is valid everywhere else. © This rule Las been found not only convenient, but indispensable in the settlement of other questions that stand connected with mar- riage and grow out of the relation. The same rule, however, has not been with equal uniformity applied to divorce, making it true that a divorce, legally valid where it is effected, is to be deemed valid every- where else. Inthe case referred‘io, the parties married in England, and afterward
came to this country. Here the wile instituted divorce proceedings, and obtained a decree of divorce in her favor. Upon her return to England she instituted similar proceedings to have her marriage declared null and
void there. The principle adopted by the court was that, inasmuch us the marriage contracted in England had been legally dis- solved in the United States, the divorce was legally valid in England. This prin- ciple has been adopted in some of the states of the Union, considered in reference to each other, and in other states it is re- jected. We can see no sufficient reason why the principle should not apply alike to marriage and divorce. If a divorce, regu- larly and legally obtained in one state, is valid in that state, it ought to be valid in every other state. Itis a legal anomoly that a party, legally divorced in one state, should there be deemed such, and not such in another state. Marriage and divorce | should, in this respect, stand on the same footing and under the same rule of law.
