The Fishery Treaty.
TWO’ PICTURES.
Opinions of Opposition Press and. Politicians in ths States.
(Banger Whig.)
Free fish has been the watchword of Canada and the administrarion {through its ** negotiators ” is ready and willing t» sacri- fice our fishermen, but we have faith to believe that this one-sided agreement will be promptly rejected by the United States senate,
(Representative to the Boston
Lodge Herald.)
lt is a complete and humiliating sur- render of our rghts. It seems incredible that any American would sign it, or any administration father it. Canada gets everything, and we get nothing.
(Boston Traveller 23rd.)
The Dominion authorities have openly admitted that they have meant by this policy to force the United States to admit Canadian fish free of duty. This is Canada’s declared aim.
(The Prosident of the Fishery Union.)
It involved submission to the efforts being made by Great Britain to destroy both*tifé American and French fisheries upon the banks.
(Sylvanus Smith & Co., Gloucester )
Have examined the treaty; no advantage to us; think it a complete give away on our part.
(Hon. Woodbury, of Boston, 22nd.)
Mr. Chamberlain deserves the peerage. His victory is complete. . The treaty is a more shameful surrender in the day of our national power than was that of 181, ex- turted in the time of our national weakness and peril.
(Portland, Maine, Press, 25rd.)
Practically none of the privileges—rights our fishermen call them —which appertain to the fishing business have been conceded. The Canadians have yielded just enough tu meet the demands of humanity, but have taken good care to stop short of any con- cessions that would materially benetit the fishery business of .he United States.
(Congressman Dingley, Washingtoa In- eae terview.)
We are certainly no better off than we were before,and we have surrendered all the important points for which we have contended.
(New York Tribune, 23rd.) It is a feebleand incoherent compromise.
Secretary Bayard has failed to vindicate the honor $f the nation.
(Press despatch from Gloucester, 22nd.);
The fisheriaen declare the treaty a dis- grace to all American citizens.
; e (Congressman Dinagley.)
This is the most abject surrender of the main points for which the American fisher- men have contended.
(Portland, Me., Press, 23rd.)
The surrender of the right to buy bait is a serious detriment to New England fish- ing interests. This right was unquestion- ably guaranteed by the treaty of 1818. The administration has been over-reached.
(Merchants Exchange, Gloucester.)
The treaty destroys the last right of the American fishermen.
ee
Canada’s Oppocition Press,
(Toronto Mail, 23rd.)
Substantially, the American’s have’ won their case, though it will be seen by our Washington correspondence that the re- presentatives of the New England fishery interests are dissatistied because they have not unecenditionally secured everything they demanded. Canadian fishermen re- ceive no surt of equivalent for the conces- sions made to the Americans, except the barren privilege of fishing in American bays.
(Toronto Globe, 22nd.)
The murder is out this morning. The fisheries treaty may be fairly described as one for enabliug American fishermen to do what they please in Canadian waters.
(Ottawa Free Press, 23rd.)
All Canada had to offer in return for the free admission of our products to the American market has been virtually given away fur nothing.
(Halifax Recorder, 23rd.)
When the Tupperian brigade sidled off te the American capitol in November last it waseventhen a patent fact, without taking Chamberlain’s anti-Canadian slush into account at all, that the homeward tramp of the party would be marked. by each having in his cvat-tail pocket a copy of what will always be known as ‘‘ The Great Tupperian Surrender.”
(Halifax Chronicle.)
The British representatives completely yield the headlands contention.
(Moncton Transcript, 23rd.)
Had the Dominion government intimated tothe Americans a few years ago that Canada would concede all that they asked and accept no concession in return, the people of Canada would stand precisely where they do now and have saved all the intermediate expenditure.
(Montreal Herald.)
Piecemeal, the rights, possessions and in- terests of Canada are abandoned to the United States, and so, we presume, it will ,continue as Jong as Sir Johu remains in ‘
| power, until there remains but a name and a geographical position.
| (Halifax Chronicle, 25rd.) }
The purchase and sale of bait is not al- lowed under the treaty, until the Ameri- cans have taken the duiy off fish. This- is
