habitation Of our American mer-

against the passage by congress Of
the free ship bill as calculated to
work injustice to labor by lessen

The conduct Of foreign affairs by |
be present administration has
cen distinguished by its inefiici-
ncy and cowardice, having with
rawn from senate all pending trea-
ies enacted By a republican adj
for the removal Of
1reign burdens and restrictions
Ipon our commerce, and for its eX-
ension into better markets; it has
ieither effected nor proposed any

rade everywhere among our neigh

We arraign the present adj
minisiralion for its weak and IN
patriotic treatment Of the fisheries

der the treaty of 1918, the reciproc-
rs maritime legislation Of 1880
aul the indemnity Of nations, and
which the Canadian fishing vessels
receive ia the ports Of the United
States. We condemn the policy
II the present administration and
the delaocratie majority in congress
towards the fisheries as unfriendly
and conspicuously unpatriotic, and
tending 70 destroy q valuable
national idustry and iudispensa-
lleresoarce Of defense against a
