Fishery and Reciprocity Treaty.
The New York Times anticipates the re-
mova Of the injunction of secrecy on the |
Reciprocity Treaty now before the Senate,
and by some means undoubtedly satisfacto-
ry to itself, has obtained and published q
copy of that interesting and important doc
ument Our cotemporary trusts the Sen
ate will not put itself to any Inconvenience
to ascertain where the copy was obtained,
and we certainly shall not wait until a sou
ton Of the mystery is known, before avail
ing ourselves of the valuable information
thus laid before the public, The copy thus
published bears very decided internal evil
dences of being genuine, and the success
of the Times in this line heretofore, leaves
no room to doubt that the document it pub
fishes is the identical and veritable treaty
lately negotiated between Lord Elgin and
Mr.. Marcy.
The first article of the treaty refers alto
gether to the fishery question. In addi
ton to liberty secured to American fisher
men by the treaty of 1918, the U. s. peo-
people are TO have, in common with British
subjects, the liberty to take fish Of every
kind, except shell fish, on the coasts, shores,
bays, harbors and creeks Nf Canada, New
Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edwards
Island, and of the islands adjacent thereto,
with permission to land for the purpose of
drying their nets and curing their fish,
This liberty applies only to sea fishery, and
salmon and shad fisheries and 6shilies in
rivers and mouths of rivers, are expressly
reserved.
This article also provides for the appoint
ment of commissioner whenever needed,
by each of the contracting parties, for the
settlement of disputes growing out of the
claims to fish under this treaty, who may
themselves appoint an umpire in cases Of
difference between them.
All decisions rendered in this manner to
be absolute and final.
Article second secures TO British subjects
similar rights TO take FISH of every kind, ex-
cent shell fish, onjthe eastern sea coasts and
shores of the United States, north Of the
thirty sixth parallel of north latitude. and
on the shores Of the several islands there
unto adjacent, with the privilege of landing
to dry nets and cure fish; it being under
stood that salmon and shad fisheries are ex-
prdssly reserved to American fishermen,
and that fisheries in rivers and mouths of
rivers are also reserved.
The remaining provisions Of the treaty
have so direct bearing upon the interests
both of the United States and Canada in
this section that W give them in full.
