Among these latter may be counted a majority of the American fishermen. But in addition to them, were the politicians of the "manifest destiny‘ school, who, without regard to the commercial aspect of the question, were exceedingly anxious that Canada should refuse to conform her policy to that of the Mother Country in this matter. Had she done #o, ‘had . the Canadian Parliament refused to accept the Imperial Government‘s mode of ~settling the Fenian claims, and refused ‘to give effect to the fishery ciause=, how these gentlemen would have exulted! ‘They would _ have â€" argued, and â€" argued rightly, that if Canada cared so litile for the interests of the Empire of which she forms a part as to refuse to make soslight a concession, then the ties which united her to that Empire must be frail and <~un« reliable indeed.: They would, in point of fact, have regarded it as the first step toâ€" wards Independente, and Independence they know tull well would be the first step towards annexation. It is perfectly true indeed that Canada was allowed full freedom of action in this matterof the fsaheries. There was no constraint put ing to the aftairs of this country. Of course it was natural that the Americans sabould be anxious to know whether ornot Canada would give effect to the fishery clauses. Some of them desired that she should do so, many others again would upen her. Neither the Imperial or the Dominion Governments intimated to the people of this country that a refusal to adopt the fishery clauses would lead to a rupture of the Colonwml tie. But there can be no doubt of the effect which such £refusal would hare had upon public ovinion both in Great Britain and the Railway.

And, sir, in u-r-o. 1 feel that I should :ot‘ be deal â€" ing justly towards those «â€"nt‘emen, or fairly towards this House «e e 1 not to make some special referen:e to them in view of the concfusion at which they have arrived.

With respect to the hon. member frcm Yarmouth who has spoken to the same eflect, 1 have not had the pleasure of the same extended acquaintance with him, but :t is enough for me to say that coming as he does from the vory enterprizing county he represents, one of the most active business centres in the Province, the House has every gur rantee for the value of his remarks, and unw'udouof&o course wh;oh be has reâ€" commended, Of courselin{referringito these gentlemen in particuiar, I mfio from | questioning the honesty of the views exâ€" w by the other two gentiemen from Bootia holding contrary opinh.l | but at the same time I must say that )‘ differ entirely from them. _ The Bill was read a third tim>, and the House adjourned until Monday at 3 p m nomineâ€"but from our stand point, it is substantially and pneficd;&s reciprocity treaty. Sir, ever since 1866, when the treaty was abrogated, our fishermen have been virtually the fishermen of the United States. ]hey have been the hewers of Tok n the Soutimertial ‘ndrantege of the i van of the ?J.:udm NmSoothu,b;:cnnnd‘, by reason of the impositions upon the British caught fish in the American market, have been forced to ship on board of American fishing vessels to prosecute a business for which they are specially q and for which â€" they are largely to the seamen and fishermen of the United Sintes. Sir, it is a melancholy picture to behold these crowds of our young and hardy fishermen thus compelled to embark in the promotion of the trade and interests of a foreign country, and what is worse to be becoming p.dmllg alienated from _ their native lan which bi the force of cireumstances led to unfavorably contrast with another which gives them E'inhp and advah tages unaitainable in their own. There is also another mischief which 1 must menâ€" tion in this connection. _ Nove Scotia, as is well known, holds a foremost rank in the prosecution of the shipbuilding busiâ€" ne«s, but the existing commercial impediâ€" ments with regard to the products of the fsheries, limit the measure and extent of the enterprise of Nova Scotian‘s in that department of industry. Kir, if we had a free market in the United States for our lsb, and it is our principal maiket, the immediate result wouli be that our ton nage would be greatly augmentéA by the construction of that class of vessels which come by hundreds on our coasts in the form of American fishing craft, and which could be built more cheaply, and perhaps, as creditably, as regards their soveral quaâ€" lities b‘vth mechanics of our own <«Provâ€" ince. We are told, sir, that in respect of our Fisheries, ndn'bnt do not takeâ€" that there is no mutuality in the concesâ€" sions resulting from the present Treaty. I hold that a free market for our fish is a prime and most valuable concession. But is there nothing further. On this point olmnmdxgyol%th:dw ts in se mentein it ht for the prosecution of the macâ€" kerel 3-,, aand which wnanlm able on the coast of the U States, was available to us under the terms of the present Treaty.

But the hon. . entlem in -lghthn'flnomrthor than this, when speaking of the mutuality of concession, Sir, he might have told the House, as I now do, that there is a subâ€" stantial privilege and benefit in the . fact of the inshore fisheries of the United States being opened to Canadian enterâ€" prise, for I can assert, and there are those now present who can confirm the stateâ€" ment that the American fishing fieet has frequenfly quitted the shores of Nova Scotia when they found the fishing dull, and returned to their own coast where they received an ample recompence for this change of venue and base of mntiou.
