A correspondent of the Boston journal has
been getting the opinion of the Gloucester
fishermen in reference to the proposed re-
ciprocity treaty between the United States
and the Dominion. With one accord they all
denounce it in the most vigorous language.
What they want, and all they want, is the
continuance of the duty on fish and protec-
ton in the enjoyment of their rights. They
are apparently very Indifferent to the privil-
eye of fishing within the three mile limit.
Since mackerel have been taken by seining
the fish have taken to the deep water, and
now comparatively few are found near
the shores. As for herring and other school
fish, it would make very little difference
whether there is treaty or not. The fisher
men who dwell along the shores will never
allow Americans to take herring, no mat
ter whether the right is guaranteed or
not The shore fisheries are the only
source of livelihood these fishermen have, and
they will not give them up unless absolutely
compelled by force to do so. The Gloucester
men have great horror of commi ssions, and
are opposed to any negotiations with Eng
land, such as are suggested in Lord Gran
Wills recent letter to the State department
This country, they say, has been outwitted
In all past negotiations on the fisheries, and
they evidently expect that it always will be-

Advocates of free trade may be interested
in the view taken by Mr.. Alfred Davy,
member of the firm of Davy Brothers, manu-
facturers of machinery in Sheffield, England.
He declares that the only advantage Europe
has over America in the line of manufac-
lures, is cheap labor In other words, in
order to compete with England in the mar
kets Of the world, it would be necessary to
reduce the wages of American worxingmen.

own weakness to seriously think of having
contest with the army. ''Their reservations
have been invaded, and they are protesting,
as a Boston man would whose store or house
was invaded. The white settlers should be

for their conduct, and will no doubt get out
of it all right this time, as they have many
times before"
