Wherever the strength OF the argument may lie,
one fact IS certain ana that Is that our fishermen
want, aud That 1t Is wise Ivy any reasonable means
to procure for them, very much greater rights OF
fishery and very much more liberal privileges Of
communication with the shore for all purposes than
they have enjoyel sine the convention OF l8is ex-
cepr during the brief interval OF the reciprocity

IN return, to give to the subjects Of Greas
oa tne nor IKE Of rights ms na privileges
OF latitude II the exchange Is NOT OF equivalents
and tho balance Is in our favor that balance is to be
IN mo .ey. Fish are to he admitted auty free Into
easn country. These rights and PRIVILEGES are OF
secuTei to them by purchase II there be no other
feasible way This treaty appears to retrieve ali the
convention OF 1913. Ii puts US as well on as we have
ever been or as we peed to be- It makes The COM
petition between our fishermen and their provincial
rivals as nearly even in point OF artcia advantages
as is possible The physical obstacle or distance

This is inevitable, ana must be left TO be en-

The Ashburon treaty or 1912 when nrst
presented to the public was sharply criticized and
strongly opposed both In Great Britain and America
And slnguariy enough the opposition III either coun
Try charged that the other had gained the advantage
IN the negotiations. 1t was, however, confirmed In
the Senate by majority OF thirtynine to nine and
in both Houses Par iament the Ministry was sus-
taine in accepting 1t Dy large majonties Mr.. Benton
and Mr.. Buchanan led sne opposition to 1t in the
Senate, while Mr.. Calhoun. Mr.. Websters great COM
petItor. and many other democrats OF that day
voted for its confirmation 1t ID not improbable that
the new treaty may encounter q similar fortune, !
COUNTY, II as 1t vas WIN the SP naSna hono
and as leading each to surrender TO the other. Such
approximations naturally arise over almost any i'm |
portant bargain In human affairs, especially II IT be
arranged In the present instance, on the princt
PIE or sgive aud take" 1t will not, therefore, be
surprising II there are American Senators who VIII
say OF this treaty that 1t falls far short OF being
vlndlcat0n OF the national honor. or II there are
Nemhcrs Of the British Par'tamept who will de-
nouhce 1t as virtual degradation 81 the Interests Of
Great Britain. Should this he Its reception In the
two countries It will be indication that the treaty
cannot be far from right
