THE FISHERIES QUESTION,
Exhaustive Speech on the Fisheries Treaty
(Continued. )
After living for 30 years where a large number of American fishermen frequent dur- ing summer season, I may say, and I do say it with due consideration—that taking any other body of men as they are, I doubt if you will find any that are better behaved under all the circumstances connected with the matter, a’ <i when you find fault with those fishermen with whom you are finding fault? It istrue that the navigation laws of the United States, which have not been repealed since they were passed in 1876, are very il- liberal as compared with those of England. They require the master of a vessel and two- thirds of the crew shall be American citizens. Any man who has had anything to do with vessels in the United States will tell you that this law is almost in abeyance. It is not going too far tosay that two-thirds of the men who manned the American. fishing vessels are Canadians, and that being the case, it is only another proof of the fact that we have a hardy school in which to train our fishermen. It is only another proof that the protective policy which this Government has pursued towards the fisheries of the last few years has had a beneficial effect. My hon. triend fram Lunenburg will be able to tell you that fifteen or twenty yearsago to see an American fleet was to see the handsomest vessels afloat, I was surprised two years ago, in passing through the Straits of Canso, to meet a sail of fifteen or twenty vessels from Lunenburg, which were larger and handsomer than those from the United States. We have been enable to build up our fishery and employ our hardy fishermen under the policy of the Government. But there ig a large portion of our poople who have no way of making a livelihood unless they go on those vessels because they get larger wages. I mention this for the purpose of showing that in a great majority af cases
the people that we call American fishermen
are relations of our own. When the address ix reply to the Speech from the Throne was before the Senate the leader of the Opposition went out of his way in the absence of any papers, to make most unwarrantable assertions on the subject of this Treaty, and when I smiled he almost flew at me and told me that I would vote for anything proposed by the Government, no matter what it.was. When I spoke of the delimitation he said that the masters of fishing smacks, as he called them, of one or ¢wo tons would have to get large charts. I could not help laughing when I re- membered that a fishing smack would have to come 600 miles and carry several barrels of salt and provisions for her crew of twelve to sixteen hands and that such vessels were usually from 80 to 100 tons burthen. Now, there is one fact with regard to this
DELIMITATION,
T have told hon. gentlemen how these fisher- men—owning their vessels—how necessary it is for them to know where this three-mile limit is, and how necessary it is for us to know it. We are not disposed, as a Cana- dian people, to be unkind or ungenerous towards the people of the United States. We are not known to be wanting in humanity or hospitality, bat we stand directly upon the letter of the law and our rights, and we are compelled to do so, How were those men able to tell, or how could any man tell, whether he was inside of the three mile limit or not untilit was <lefined ? and to settle the question was one of the points brought up in the dispute. Is that question not in a better position than it was before? Is there any doubt or difficulty about it, and what is the proposition to settle it? The preposition is to take a friendly ship ofeach nation properly equipped for the purpose of surveying, taking soundings, and laying down this line of demarcation, so that there will be no more of those difficulties regarding exclusive rights, regarding the bays of Canada and those of Newfoundland. Those who are acquainted with the winter fishing of Newfoundland will understand the value of having those bays, where ali this frozen herring is caught, properly defined. If an American fisherman enters into any of those bays, he will have his chart on board, and knowing the law, and the line of demar- cation, if he finds himself arrested for being out of his limits he knows that he is himself to blame for it. But there are times when it is difficult for any fisherman to tell whether he is within three miles of the shore or not. Night comes on, and he hauls his jibs to the windward and drifts. Perhaps next morning he is fifty miles from his fishing ground, but he can tell by the soundings on his chart exactly where he is, and whether he is inside or outside of the three mile limit. The hon. gentleman from Ottawa when speaking on the Address took the opportunity to make a loud and boisterous attack upon the treaty, with- out any papers being before him. I told then that when this treaty was laid upon the table of the House, that I would be ready to reply to him; that it was no time then to discuss the question. But what was the result? The hon. gentleman's speech was telegraphed all over the United States, and I have before me a letter from a friend in Washington stating that Mr. Scott's speech was the view of the Senate of Canada on the Fishery Question. I say it was a disgrace to that hon. Senator, before the treaty was laid on the table and before he knew anything about it to discuss it in the way he did, Will those different sets of opinions which were uttered by him last night be telegraphed all over the United States as being the views of the Senate of Canada? No one considers for a moment that they will; it will be very clearly given forth that the opinions first uttered by the hon. gentleman from Ottawa on this subject were the opinions of the Canadian Senate. Here is the hon. gentleman’s speech in bi letters in the New York Herald, publish the morning after its delivery, as also the re- marks that were made by the bon. gentleman from Halifax. I contend that such a course as that certainly does not accord with the patriot- ism for which the hon. gentleman is usually distinguished. But whlle he tells us that it is robbery on the part of Canada to assert her rights, he tells us in the same breath that we have given away all our rights and disgraced ourselves ; and the most amusing part of his
BY HON. SENATOR HOWLAN.'
argument is that Mr. Chamberlain came over from Englaad for the purpose of doing—wiat? Watching over the rigats and interests of the manufacturers of England. What the manv- facturers of England had to do with the fisheries on this side of the water isa thing I cannot understand. But the people of the United States had his speech the next morn- ing. Here it is as telegraphed to the New York Herald :—
**AN INCONGRUOUS DOCUMENT.” Canadian Members of Parliament Oppose It as conceding too much.
Ortawa, Ont., February 24, 1888.—in the Senate to-day, referring to the fishery treaty clause in the Governor-General’s speech, Senators Rose (Quebec) and Sanford (Hamii- ton) both said they looked upon it as a means by which the vexing fisheries question can be set at rest forever.
Mr. Scott, Opposition leader, said he could not accept the solution of the fisheries ques- tion provided by the Chamberlain treaty ia spirit suggested in the Governor’s speech. The friction between the two countries had been intensified by an incongruous document coa- cocted in Washington. Instead of sending to England for a diplomat who came out with the sole object of insuring peace between Great Britain and the United States, the honorable and chivalrous course for Canada would have been to have granted free and voluntarily these concessions to the United States, and to have told the people of that great country: ‘‘ We wantto deal with you, we want to trade with you, without the inter- vention of British plenipotentiaries.””. Who could say authoratively where the privilege granted under clause 11 ended? The lan- guage of the clause was so dubious that he believed before twelve months it would be found that the interpretation of the clause would give rise to most angry contention.
It was dcubtful how the United States Senate would deal with the Treaty, partica- larly in view of its recent action on the extra- dition question. In throwing out the Extra- dition Treaty the United States Senate had lowered itself morally in the eyes of the world. ‘*Mr. Power, of Halifax, said that, looking at the treaty as a whole, it was not one which would be viewed with much satisfaction by Canadians. Canada had given up a goed many privileges which American fishermen had been anxions to get. He looked upon article 13 as only proper. The American fishermen should certainly carry with them some indication of their character. Article 14 was not unreasonable, and article 15, if it ever weat into effect, would not bea bad thing. He regretted, however, that by the conces- sions the Canadian Government had made they had thrown away the only lever by which reciprocal trade with the United States could be secured.”
Now, almost on the same morning we have the opinions of another New York paper stating almost exactly the opposite. I do not understand how it is; if this treaty is not acceptable to the people ef Canada and not acceptable to the people of the United States, to whom can it be accepable? On the same date the New York Tribune says :—
‘It is a feeble and incoherent compromise, and Secretary Bayard has failed to vindicate the honor of the nation. Nearly all of Canada’s outrages can be repeated under the treaty with impunity ; Canada with her cus- tom regulation deliberately harrassed our fishermen, to force us to remove the duty from fish. This was their objective point and will be again. The provision for tonnage dues gives Canada new facilities for operating againstour fishermen. The treaty will be as unpopular in Canada asin New England. It does not offer a basis for a permanent settle- ment. It should be rejected by the patriotic Senate.” ‘
These are the opinions of a very popular and influential paper in the United States.

The estate in the Island of Achill owned by the late Lord Cavan, was sold by order of his trustees, consisting of 2,068 acres of freehold land—in fact, the whole Island—with house and entrance lodges, both furnished. The auctioneer described the aay pr as one of the finest sporting estates in Ireland, though he admitted that the tenants were three years in arrear with their rent. The property was sold practically without reserve, and after very slight competition was purchased by a lady at the modest figare of £630, or about six shillings an acre !

One of the hardest things in the world is to condole with any body in a misfortune or a bereavement. If it were not that the matter is generally serious, a great many funny stories could be printed about the condolences people offer to the bereaved. But up at Sacramento some time ago 4 hard-working Irishman fell out of a fourth- storey window and broke his neck. His wife was of course in great distress. After the funeral, a neighbor called to offer her sympathy and condolence. ‘* it was a very sad thing, indeed.” ‘‘Indeed it was. To die like that—to fall out of a forth-storey window.” ‘‘An’ was itas bad as that /” asked the visitor. ‘“*Sure, an’ I heard it was only a third-story window.”
