It was imperative that at the earliest moment an expression of opinion should be given by the Legislature of this Colony in reference to our fisheries, for 1t might be called upon at any moment to state its views on the matter.

fish in our ports; but our inshore fisheries should be watched and guarded with a jealous eye.””

The Hon. F. Brecken spoke decidedly in favor of not giving up our rights cheaply Look,” said he ‘at the trade advantages Great Britain gave to the United States in the repeal of her navigation laws; but these advantages are not reciprocated by the latter in one single instance. Why should we offer advantages to those who offer us nothing in return? Let us hold fast to our rights and have a litile patience, and it will come all right before long. There are other great questions which affect American Trade, and which will shortly come up for the consideration of their Government The man.of the Western States has no means of transporting his produce to the sea board, and therefore will want the navigation of the river St. Lawrence. When the Alabama claims are fully settled, free trade will soon follow. Let the people of these Provinces show the Americans that they are not prepared to barter away their great privileges unless they receive equal value im return. There is no doubt that if the people of these Colo- nies uct as every great commercial people acts, we shail have reciprocity with the United States.”

Hon. Daniel Davies said, ‘‘I am perfectly willing to buld out all reasonable induce- ments to the American fishermen to come to our ports and get their supplies and to the transhipment of their fish; Lut J will not give up all our rights for nothing.”’

Hon. Mr. Duncan also said, “while I admit as frankly as any hon. member, that our trade with the United States, as carried on. was of great benefit to the people of the Island I am by no means desirous to have a one sided free trade. Jhope we shall re- tain our inshore fisheries ; they are all that is left to us as a people, and I have no idea of giving them up, and getting nothing in re- turn. I am not sure that I would object to the Government fitting out a cutter, or admitting those of the Dominion to our water for the protection of our inshore fisheries. Such a course would, at least, manifest a disposition on our part to do something towards the preservation of our rights.”
