blamed the government for negligence and DELAY
i'll dealing with this matter If American fisher
men were TO have the use Of the Canadian fisher
Canadian fishermen were excluded from United
States markets, the Canadian fishermen would be
placed at disadvantage that would amount to
rum, Had the government taken the matter up
last year better arrangement would have been
made. Early in this session the Minister of Ma
rne had made a Observation-Disclosures speech an
nouncing that the Canadian fisheries were to be
now the fisheries were given up Internationally
and the great lever by which Canada was going
to get reciprocity was thrown away
Sir John Mcdonald said he was not at liberty to
make any further statement on the subject.
Mr.. Mitchell thought the government should
have acted sooner. The success of the Democrat
ic party had impaired Canadas chances of recipro-
city.
Mr. Vail thought the government had given
away everything How was it that no information
could be had on the subject before? OF what use

Sir John said he believed the present United
States government was favorable to extended trade
relations with Canada but the Republican party
were still in the majority in the Senate, so that
the matter was a very delicate one, as the assent
of both Houses OF Congress was necessary.
Mr. Blake concurred in this view and said it
was unfortunate that Mr.. Mitchell had used Ian
guage calculated to arouse the antagonism OF the
party that were in a majority in the Senate.
