Perks & The Money Saving Store, ae Bas ind VALI DAAMINDE MARCH 13, 1809 DESTRUCTION OF OYSTERS. Tue oyster beds at Pinette avd elsewhere are, we learn, being destroyed. We learn also that the Provincie! Government 186 party te (be spoliation, It is stated that Premier Farqubarsov has interfered with the officers of the Dominion Government in defence of those who are breaking up the oyster bed». That is to say, the first result ef the fivding ofthe Privy Counc! from which it is inferred that the fisheries within the Provinces come within the jur- isdiction of the Provincial Governments, is |the destruction, with the connivance of | the Provincial Government of this Pro- vince, of that which isa source of wealth to the community. Surely Premier Farquharson might have found some way of asserting his authority over our inland fisheries other than in sesisting in th: wacton destruction of our oyster beds. He wight inded, have iuterfered to protect the oyster beds. He might have directed that museel-mud diggers sbould keep out- side of the oyster bed limits,—and so have asserted There is plenty of room outeide ofthese limite, aud plenty of mud to supply the districts adjoining the mussel beds, without trench- the Provincial claim. ing upon our valuable oyster preserves. But in so far az the country is concerned, Premier Farquharson is like some other liberals iu power,—wmore inc)ined to destroy than to build up. It ie reported, we believe with truth, that the Domision Goveroment is not disposed to brook Premier Farqubareon’s interference, and thatits officers have re- ceived orders to proceed egainst all offend- ere sgainst tbe oyster regulations, even those who have recerved Premier Fargu- harson’s assurance that he would ‘* stand between them andall harm.” The conse- quence will be either an inglorious back- down on the part of Premier Farquharson, or else abig law suit involving an appea! to the Supreme Court of Canada, and perhaps to the Privy Council of Great Britain,—and, if the Province shovld lose the suit, a heavy bill of costs will have to be paid by the provincial tax- payers. This province has nothing to gain by hav-~ ing at its charge the care and protection of the inland fisheries. There is no money i it for the Proviccial ment, and the Provincial ment has no money to expend for such a purpose. If Premier Fa:qubarson’s con- tention should be successful, our inland fisheries will simply go to ruin, and sources uf wealth of the people of the Pro~ vince be destroyed. There are needed for the protection and development of there fi-heries carefully prepared regulations and a staff of competent, energetic und in- dependent officials to carry them out with- out regard to persons who have selfish interests at stake.

The failure of Government to fulfl ts pledge» in this regard is in keeping with ite conduct in every other respect. In reepect tu Free Tiade, in respect to Reci- precity with the United States, in respec to the Governmental expenditures, in re- epect to every pre-election pledge aad assur ance ef the Liberal party the people have ven deceived and disappointed, just as tney have been deceived and disappointed i” respect to Provibition. But the Guardian condones and excuses everything—except the failure concerning prohibition Prohibition. The logic of the situation compels it to protest ia this case.
