our ncighbors appear determined to pur-
sue, there is about as much for them, and
perhaps more. The expense OF keeping
fleet to watch their coast and guard it
from the swarms of fishermen that hover
about will belargerthan they are well able
to support. England found it an expensive
undertaking and was not sorry when 1t
came to an end. Besides there are regu-
lations in force between the two countries
which might be rescinded very much to
the inconv enience and disadvantage of
the people of the Dominion, and which
probably would be if this exclusion from
their waters were practised upon our fish
ermen. We are not going to stand COM
pulsion without proving who is strongest
in that line. The reciprocity treaty was fore
ed upon the country by the men who fought
four wears to destroy the government, in
order to damage the industry Of the north
ern States. We shall not re-enact it in
order to accommodate the Dominion though
thew buster and undertake their coercive
policy. Circumstances have changed
since the Slave power went down, and the
Canadians must adapt themselves to the
change or fare worse.
