them on an equality with the Cana.
dians by permitting them to buy tier
nets, cordage, sails, boats and other
materials as cheaply as the people Of
New Dominion. So an ancient custom
is to be revived in their favor. They

will be equivalent to the tax Of half q

on mackerel.

ed.
The question now arises: WHATS
to be done with our lake fishermen ?"
They, too, have just as good a claim
as the New England fishermen for
drawbacks and bounties. The present
tariff imposes duty of 40 per cent on
"gilling twine," which is indispensa-
BILE for catching white6sh and trout in
our lakes and inland waters. 1t is by
no means peculiar feature of this du.
ty that it protects no American in.
terest. The American article always
is, and has been, so inferior that no
fisherman will or, it is said, can use it.
Its only effect is to needlessly en-
chance the cost of the outfit of our
lake fishermen. Thus fsherman's
kit at Buffalo or Detroit costs about
5000. But kit of the same size and
quality can be bought few miles dis
tant on the opposite coast of Mackinac
for $3.50. What adds to the enormity
is the fact that the Canadian fisher
men cannot only fish in the same wa
ters for the same fish with his $3.50 kit,
as the American can with his 5000 kit,
but he can also sell the same fish in
the same market. 1t is a scandle to
protectionism that fish caught with the
expensive 5000 American kit. Of
course the American fishermen have,
no chance. Canadians come over and
undersell them all the time. Fish
caught with a 5000 kit cannot be sold
as chcaply as fish caught with a kit
that cost half the money, or, il it is,
the difference comes out of the pocket
of our own flesh and blood. Literally
and actually, free (Ameriean) salt, free
sails, and free boats and materials, are
playing the very duce with our lake
fisheries, and are gaining the entire
profitable trade formerly enjoyed al
most exclusively by Americans.
We submit that the lake fishermen
are entitled to and should receive as
much aid and sympathy as the New
England fishermcn-if not MORE
Now what are Fish, Sherman and
Butler going to do about it? Will
they refund to. the lake fishermen the
extra $3.50 paid for their kits, so as to
place them on an equality with the
Canadians Also, will they imdeem-
Nifty them for past extravagantly dear
kits q? And if not, why not ? This is
a Western quest o., and ju tee m, at
be done, even if protectionism falls to
the ground.
