THE FISHERIES.

1t is qualification to be able to announce
that the British government has sent instruc-
tons to Canada to make no more seizures OF
American fishermen, even though they may
be upon the contested ground. 1t is stated
that the British government will send COM
missioner to Washington for the purpose of
discussing the treaty provisions, with the
purpose Of guarding against the recurrence
Of annoyances and seizures. At the same
time they will contend that the seizures al
ready made were legitimate and right under
the treaty How much the state of feeling
in this country and the complication of the
Alabama claims may have to do with this

THE TARIFF-.FREE TRADE.

We do not understand that any class of
voters in this country advocate free trade in
lis broadest sense-the entire abolition of
duties on articles imported from foreign
Countries. So long as we have great pub
Ike debt we shall have, and ought to have,
tariff Of duties on foreign mportations. But
tie free traders desire, if we understand
tam, 10 remove or lessen the duties on the
l-'' material used by ship-builders, on the
neg ssaries Of lifc--iron, coal, salt, &c. If
ll duties on some other articles are not en-
tireiy removed, it is desirable to lessen them
to such an extent as to bring them more
largely into use and commercial traffic. The
duties may be Withdrawn from some articles
and lcsscned on others. so that trade may be
revived and business improved while the
people may be relieved to good degree Of
