THE FISHERIES QUESTION,
Fisheries Treaty
(Continned. )
We also have the opinion of the leader of the opposition in this House. Buta change has
laughed at one or two of his remarks,I thought I would be annihilated, because 1 dared to offer an opinion, But as the hon. gentleman went along, he showed clearly he did not understand the question he was speaking about, ov if he hid studied it out, he had not such » knowledge of it as to form a correct opinion. He then went on to find fault with another portion of the treaty. Last year we refused to aiiow American fishing vessels to remain in our harbors more than 24 hours without reporting to the custom authorities. This year we have allowed it, and Iam _ very glad ‘of it, and [ think it is a yery proper thing under al} the cireumstauces ; but what are we told? Weare told that if we allow them to come in through stress ot weather that they will fish inside of the three mile limit and do all sorts of illegal acts. To me it is begging the question to say that a fishing vessel will come into harbor under pretense of stress of weather. The hon, gentleman does not know what “ stress of weather” means ; he has lived too long on ‘the placid waters of the Ottawa to know the 1eal meaning of stress of weather. In the Gulf of St. Law- rence heavy gales of wind come up without a moment's notice, and it has always seemed to me to be very hard to see a fishing vessel off the harbor with the certainty of being blown out to see, and not allowing her to take re- fuge.
A FEW YEARS AGO
we had what was known asthe Yankee gale, which strewed 250 fishing vessels along the coasts and caused the loss of a great number of lives ; still the hon. gentleman would allow these fishermen to go to a watery grave rather than permit American fishing vessels to enter post on distress of weather. ; I was surprised at the fact, and the only way I could account for such a view was the hon. gentleman's total ignorance and want of knowledge of the subject he wes speaking of. The result of the gale of 1853, to which I referred a moment ago was that 75 out of 250 fishing vessels, for want of shelter in stress of weather were strewn along the coasts, and I will read you what was said by one of the poets of Prince Edward Island :—
** In that wild gale,
When some seventy sail, | x2
Off Cape Ann-—schooners so pretty and white—
Were caught fn the hurricane out in the bight,
Between North Cape and East Point light ; They tried their best to round the cape, But the seas ran high, and the gale so strong, Most foundered, along.” I remember myself seeing several men pick- ed up one after another after being washed ashore, That is but one case of what is called stress of weather, from which there is no escape. Then take the case of a man taken sick at sea, Under the treaty of 1818 you could not land him ; you must take him away apart to some other country for a doctor, and the man dies in the meantime. I do not think,
and strewed the coast
if those cases were put properly — be- fore the people of Canada that they would have assented to any such
treatment of foreign fishing vessels, and I say, as fay as this treaty is concerned it is in that respect nothing more than an act of humanity on our part. But we are told again with regard to this question of fishing vessels being allowed to go in and out of our harbors that we allow them to do what? To trade ? If a vessel flying tre American flag comes in with cargoes of cotton or sugar she can buy whatever she wants. Now, they are allowed tv come in and purchase not what a fishing vessel can buy, but necessary supplies to take her on her home voyage. Every vessel is allowed to come into the harbors of Canada without repoiting to the customs official if she does not stay longer than 24 hours. At one time, such was not the case when we had light dues, harbor dues and other tolls to collect ; but it is not so now. It an American fishing comes in to buy supplies, she merely buys the necessaries she requires, and goes away, and there is nothing more about it. Is it to be imagined that the masters of those vessels, who own them, and who have the earninge of a lifetime perhaps in one-fourth of the venture, will run the risk of losing his vessel for the purpose of doing what? Of trying to evade the law, knowing

and reports. He knows that if a vessel comes in in trim, with ber sails and rigging all in order, itis to land a cargo. If she has no cargo on board, he knows at once she iv on a mischievous trip, and she is placed under sur-

liable to seizure. But I was amazed by the hon. gentleman from Halifax when he said in his speech on the Address that the $1.50 per ton which
was paid by the American fishermen on their vessels, permitting them, he said, te come within the three mile limit and thereby get six handred or eight hundred barrels of
Canada in a false position. He told us even that the American fishermen did not value the inshore fisheries; that they considered
whole of this delimitation to them ever the Maritime Provinces, not one American fisher- man would go inside of it. At the same time he has told us that for $1.50 per ton an American fisherman could come in and take
would pay no duty, while our fishermen would have to pay a duty of $2 per barrel, How. Mrz. Power.—I did. not say that.
Hox, Mr. Howtan.--I cannot help that. FE did not make the speech, and here it is ia the official report on the table :
‘*But the modus vivendi proposed by the British plenipotentaries after the treaty had been signed is more objoctionable by far than the treaty itself. It provides ‘that for a period not exceeding two years, the American fishing vessels shall be allowed to purchase bait, ice, seines, lines and all other supplies and outfits, to tranship their catch and shi crews ; most important privileges, which will enable the American fishermen to compete with our fishermen in our own waters; and what is the consideration we receive for that two year’s grant? It is a license fee of $1.50 per ton. Canada has iiad experience of license fees already. In 1869 and ‘70 we had those licenses, but they were found so un- satisfactory that the Dominion Government refused to continue that system any longer. it was then found that as a rule American fishermen did not pay the fees, and—suppos- ing they now pay—-a duty of $1.50 per ton would amount, on an ordinary. fishing schooner of 80 tons, to $120; and the same schooner, if she were fortunate in her ven- ture, would probably catch—if she were after mackere]—from 600 to 800 barrels of fish, the duty on which would be from $1,200 to $1,600, so that while the Americans under the present arrangement pay only $120 license fee, our fisliermien would pay on what that vessel caught an immensely larger sum. In the case of codfish the disproportion would be almost in the same ratio.”
Hon. Mr. Power.—lé my hon. friend will! excuse me, he said that the license was to allow the American fishermen to come inside of ‘the three mile limit, bat the treaty does not say so.
Hoy, Mr. Howian.—Then what do you pay $1.50 per ton license for?
Hon. Mr. .Powrr.—The modus vivendi says that for certain purposes that license shall be paid, but it does not include the going inside the three-mile limit. The hon, gentleman had better read the Treaty.
(To be Continued. )
Hope River Notes.
The season being late this year, farmers are vigorously pushing their work just now. Our new Hall was opened early in the winter with a lecture delivered by the Rev. Angus McDonald, of Rustico.
A Farmers’ Club was then soon organized, and did some good work under the leadership of Mr. Patrick Reid as President, ably assisted by Mr. Joseph McAleer, as Vice- President, and Mr. Patrick Murphy, Secre- tary. Some of our young men made wonder- ful progress in public speaking, and it will not be long before Hope River will have its quota of full-fledged orators,
Our enterprising friend, Mr. John T. Cos- grove, is busy making a driving park. Men
and teams have been working on it all last week. He intends to finish it as soon as possible in order to have a public trot early in the summer. When completed it will be the best half mile track on the Island. Mr. Cosgrove deserves the thanks of the sporting fraternity for supplying a long felt want, where the young bloods can meet and discuss the trotting question to their heart's content.
We must congratulate Mr. Patrick Bolger on being the owner of the best foal of the season. Competent judges declare it without anequalin this part of the country. This specimen of equine perfection was sired by French Barrister,
The measles had scarcely disappeared from here when a namber of our young people were stricken with scarlet rash. They are all re- covering slowly.
Our young contractors, Messrs, Cullen,
full well that behind them their own Government will not protect them. in breaking the law—knowing full well that it they break the law their ship will be seized and confiscated. Still we are told that if we let those vessels come in for supplies that they should not be allowed to tranship their cargoes. When I wasa younger man I used to hear lawyers giving legal opinions freely, and one day I asked a legal triend of mine why he, alawyer, gave his opinion in that way for nothing. ‘* My dear fellow,” he said, ‘a lawyer's opinionis not worth anything unless he is paid for it.” We are asked by what manner of means are we to know that a vessel is in distress when she comes into har- bor? The hon. gentleman may take it as a given fact that the master of a fishing vessel with 10 to 20 men on board
NEVER SEEKS A HARBOK
unless he is compelled to through stress of weather or from want of supplies. Every hour of fishing weather is worth money to him ; he must be on the ground while there is fish to catch, andas the crew shares in the venture as well as the captaia, if a man is lazy and not willing to work he is very soon put ashore. Every day adds to the expense of the vessel. Every man on board is interested in having his time turned to the best advan- tage, and every father on board is anxious to have his earnings to his eredii when the carge is discharged. But the hon. gentleman says, how do you know when a vessel has the right, to come in to be discharged? If she loses her masts or main boom or sails, or springs a leak, or goes on a rock, she must be discharged, un- less she can get on toa marine slip. All these things the custom house officer is cognizant of
pushed the work rapidly on Bay View Bridge during April. They intend to have it fin- ished by the first of July.
Our worthy sehool marm, Miss M. J. Smith, did good work for the past year, which was very apparent at the recent ex- amination. We trust that the people of the district will be alive to their interests , and secure her services for the next year.
