For the PIONEER.
THE MENHADEN FISHERS.
GREENWICH, Sep. 1. 1885

UREEN WlCH, Sep. l, 1885,
Editors of PiOneer:-I notice in your
last issue that Attorney General Stock
ton has given his opinion the second
time, that Jersey law has nothing in it
TO prevent the menhaden fishermen
from pursuing their calling within
three miles of our shore, and that such
a law would be unconstitutional Manv
of the Jersey newspapers are making
great complaint against the men,
haden pirates | am a Jersey sand
Spaniard born, and live, and hope to
die in Jersey, and can hurrah as loudly
for Jersey as any one. but this attempt
to prejudice the public against the
great menhaden fish industry is, in nv
opinion, a grave mistake
There are millions of dollars invested
in steamers, sailing vessels, boats, nets,
factories, &c Thousands of poor men
are earning an honest living, afforded
them by this industry. The oil and
fertilizer has made for itself a market,
the stopping of which would make
certain oils much higher and also raise
the price of fertilizer now so essential
to every farmer.
All this talk about Catching food
fish, and "pirates robbing honest fish
ermen,n is calculated to lead astray the
public who do not know the facts A
few weeks since, menhaden steamer
was fishing near Cape May, when sew
eral ldor abiding citizens appeared on
the beach with rifles, and came near
killing several of the fishermen. l
happened to be introduced to Captain
Spier, who commanded the aforesaid
steamer, and whom l have no hest
fancy in saying is much more of man
than the men who call him pirate and
shoot at him. Captain Spier is an hon
est, hard working fisherman, and has
| by hard labor and perseverance made
several thousand dollars; and | have
| known him to keep up steam and wait
an hour to tow two vessels, in which
he had no interest, out of danger. To
| think of calling a weather. beaten, hard
working, honest and kind-hearted man
as Spier pirate!
| have been to Barren Island and
other fisheries where millions of men
haden have been brought in, and never
saw one bushel Of edible fish in a load
of menhaden In flock of black
birds we do not find robins and quail;
neither do we find different fishes in
a school of menhaden. The menhaden
fishers are accused of surrounding
schools of swapping mackerel These
fish cut their nets so badly that it does
not pay to capture them, and have a
net that costs five or six hundred dol
lars cut to pieces, and lose time that
would be more valuable than the fish
The Atlantic is a big pond and a
fleet of menhaden steamers scattered
from Cape Cod to Hatteras, make but
little impression on the millions of
schools of menhaden that are a pest to
shad and many other nets, and are fit
only for oil and fertilizer.
| hope Gen. Sewell will examine all
sides of the question before he attacks
the menhaden men in Congress.
Respectfully,

A monster of the deep that resembles
a sea turtle, though somewhat differ
ent from ordinary ones, was caught
near Rockport, Mass, few days ago.
The animal measures nearly eight feet
long, is over three feet wide, his fore
fippers are each more than three feet
long, and from tip to tip across them
is over eight feet. His body is twenty
inches deep from breast to back, and
he is estimated to weigh eight to nine
hundred pounds. His back is not cov-
cred with a shell like the typical turtle,
but with dense black skin like that
of whale; nor is it of rounded
shape, but in huge lengthwise ridges,
with deep grooves between.

ANOTHER UNJUST ACT.

Following up its un-American action
against the great ship builder, John
Roach, comes another blow at Ameri-
can shipping interests, from the hands
of the Administration, at Washington.
At the last session of Congress, an act
was passed appropriating 100000 to
enable the Postmaster General to con-
tract. after legal advertisemement, with
the lowest bidder among American
Steamship Companies for the trans
portation of foreign mails. This act
of Congress, intended to foster and
build up American commerce; was dis
regarded by Postmaster General Villas,
and the contracts were mainly let to
English Steamship Companies. By
this action, the Postmaster General has
nullified law of the land, and, as the
Hon. John Sherman, of Ohio, recently
stated "shown an utter disregard of
the intent of Congress, as we'll as the
rights and interests of American ships,
and acted solely in the interests of
foreign Steamship Companies.
This is another illustration of the
free trade, free ship principle which is
ruling the Democratic Administration,
and thus bringing the shipping of the
United States to utter ruin. If this
Government as at present admins
tered, proposes to deprive American
ship builders and ship owners of the
advantages conferred by solemn act of
the nations highest Legislative body,
then it is time that the people awoke
from the fancied security to which
many of them have been lulled by the
specious arguments of the Democratic
press. For years the Republican news
papers and leaders have warned voters
of the inevitable tendency of the Dem
ocratic party toward free trade and
free ships. With all the warnings
given, majority of voters demanded
a change. They have got change,
and terrible one it is for American
interests. After twenty-five years of
unparalleled prosperity through the
protective policy of the Republican
party, the nation is, at the first advent
of the Democracy to power brought
face to face with the fact that the
Democratic party as a political organi-
zation is the friend and ally of British
merchants and ship owners. Last Fall
it was asserted that English merchants
and ship owners made heavy contribu-
tions to the Democratic Presidential
campaign fund. Recent events have
shown that there was some truth in
the report. The Administration has,
by its course in the matters to which
reference has been made, proved be-
yond the shadow of doubt that its
sympathies are with the foreign capi-
talists, and that it proposes to return
to them high rate of interest for the
funds invested in behalf Of the Grover
Cleveland Democracy at the election
of 1884.

The Democratic party in its national
platform last year, complained that
under Republican rule the American
flag had almost been swept off the
high seas. But what policy has the
Democratic Administration adopted?
1t has made war upon American ship
building and American commerce. 1t
has deliberately and malevolently
driven into bankruptcy the chief build
er of the American commercial marine,
the man who had furnished hundred
iron steamships for the country's for
eign and coasting trade. 1t has ar
rayed itself against American steam
ship companies, and withheld Con-
gressional appropriations made for the
foreign mail service. 1t has forced the
withdrawal of the American flag from
the South seas. 1t has antagonized
every mercantile and manufacturing
interest dependent upon the growth
and prosperity of American CON-
merce. This is the way in which a
Democratic Administration "restores''
the supremacy of the flag on the high
seas!-Ne'0 York Tribune.

The Toms River CoWier's latest in
formation concerning the cranberry
crop in that county, is that the berries
on several bogs have scalded badly
within the past two weeks. One
grower reports that at least one-third
of his crop was destroyed by scalding
on Monday last, and another says that
in two of his bogs many berries were
destroyed by the hailstorm on We'd
nesday night of last week.

learn that mackerel have been discov-
cred in the Pacific Ocean. The captain

about the middle of June, he sailed
through an enormous school of mack
erel. Not having any suitable fishing
gear he was unable to procure any
specimens. bat he says the fish acted
precisely like school of mackerel in
the North Atlantic.
