The fishermen of Deer Island, n B., who
have been selling their sardines in East
port, are making great complaint of their
government. When the treaty of Washing
ton expired the Deer Island fishermen found
that they must pay duty on landing their
fish in Eastport To avoid this they made
their boats over into American ones, by inn
porting them and paying duty at the East
port custom house. By thus making their
boats American they were enabled to carry
sardines from Canada to Eastport without
paying duty. For while they flourished,
but the Dominion authorities, in looking
around for some method of embarrassing re-
lations between the United States and Ca
madam fishing industries, discovered what
the Deer Island fishermen were doing. So
they ruled that United States boats, such as
those of the Deer Island fishermen had been
changed to, could not legally fish in Canadian
waters. Neither could they buy sardines in
Canada without entering at the custom house
after the usual manner of merchantmen. But
dian custom house on taking their loads,
those loads cease to be an American product,
and the fishermen must pay duty ON I'M
loading at Eastport. This is the dilemma of
the poor fishermen of Deer Island. A gen.
tleman writing from the island to st. John
paper, says: ''They are thus reduced to a
condition that will ensure them starvation,
unless some remedy is speedily found for
their peculiar CASE"

Nobody has ever denied that Col Edwards
was brave soldier, SO it would seem super
fluous to procure letter from Gen. Wright,
endorsing his military record, and publish it
as the Argus did yesterday. The Argus and
Gen. Wright may be assured that the people
have not forgotten the soldier, and undoubt-
edly if vote against Col. Edwards implied
any ingratitude to the soldier he would get a
great many more votes than he will receive.
But the Argus knows very well that vote
against him implies no such thing. 1t
implies only that the people of Maine
don't want Simon Brown and Charles Fl.
Chase at the head of the party of free trade
and free rum running the State government
for the next two years, and they don't in
tend to have them either.

THEIR VIEWS.
THEIR VIEWS.
Opinion of the Republican Candi-
dates for Senators In York County.

The following letters from the three Re-
publican candidates for the State Senate in
York county, were written in response to a
letter Of inquiry addressed to each of them
by a Knight of Labor of Biddeford. They
were asked to give their views on the ten
hour question, weekly payments, child labor
and the laws relating to the trustee process
and Imprisonment for debt. Following are
their letters:
MY DEAR SIR: Yours OF the 14th at hand. My
experience and Judgment as to those who labol
and those who hire, is, that 10 hours should be
the limit OF days work. and that the law SHOULD
so establish it, and that the laborer should receive
his pay at least once week, Qf he so requests
for his pay is due him as soon as his work is per
formed, and all law does, or should, compe
speedy payments. Children. under 15 years Of
age should not be confined at work, but should at
tend the public schools and if they work it should
be if possible in the open air. think law to
better physique, better morals, healthier anC
happier country. No trustee should deprive q
man OF what he has earned and give it to another,
and think this is often done by the party who ha
urged the man TO accept his credit. If no law o
this kind was on the statute books the credid SyS
TEN would regulate itself The law of imprison
ment for debt is inhuman and one of past ages
and should be repealed. When a party has con
tracted debt by false statements or false pre-
fences he should be dealt with under the statute
made for just such cases.

SYLVESTER BARTLETT
Eliot, August 81, 1886.

Dear Sir-In reply to your letter of inquiry,
will say that am in full accord and sympathy
on the subject s:you write about. AS you:are well
aware the resolutions adopted by the Republican
State Convention held at Lewiston June 9th, are
differences between capital and labor to arbitra.
ton; that no manufacturing establishment should
extend the length of a days labor beyond ten
hours and that a law should be enacted prescrib-
ing fifteen years as the earliest age at which
children should be regularly put to work in facto
ries, as earlier employment of that kind inter-
feres with their health and schooling.
firmly believe that the laws allowing impris-
onment for debt and the trustee process in SO far
as it may be applicable to the wages of the labor
ing man, are inhuman, and should be abolished.
i'll am elected 1 shall use my best endeavors to
carry out these views in thorough and practical
manner. Very Respectfully,
WILLIAM w. MASON.
