luton of that body and is instructive as to the
great volume of mutually profitable inter.
changes which has come into existence during
the last half century. This intercourse is still but
partially developed and if the amicable enter
prise and wholesome rivaly between the two
populations be not INSTRUCTED, the promise of
the future is full of the fruits of an unbounded
prosperity both sides of the border. The
treaty now submitted to you has been framed
in spirit of liberal equity and reciprocal ben
fits and in the conviction that mutual advantage
and convenience are the only permanent foun-
dation of peace and friendship between states,
and that with the adoption of the agreement
now placed be fore the Senate, beneficial and
satisfactory intercourse between the two coun-
tries will be established so as to secure perpet-
ual peace and harmony.
In connection with the treaty herewith SUBJ
mitted deem it also my duty to transmit to
the Senate written offer or arrangement in
the nature of a Daodus ct0eadt rendered after
the conclusion of the treaty on the part of the
British plenipotentiaries to secure kindly and
peaceful relations during the period that may
be required for the consideration OF the treaty
by the respective governments and for the
enactment of the necessary legislation to carry
its provisions into effect if approved This
paper. freely and on their own motion signed
by the British conferees, not only extends
advantages to our fishermen pending the rati-
fication of the treaty. but appears to have been
dictated by a friendly and amicable spirit.
I given to understand that the other
governments concerned IN this treaty will,
within few days, in accordance with the r
methods of conducting public business, submit
said treaty to their respective legislatures,
when it will be at once published to the world.
In view OF such acton it appears to be advis-
able that by publication here early and full
knowledge of all that has been done in the
premises should be afforded to our people. 1t
would also seem to be useful to infor m the
popular mind concerning the history of the
longcontInued disputes growing out of the sub
ject embraced in the treaty. and to satisfy the
public interests touching the same well as
to acquaint our people with the present status
of the questions involved and to give them the
exact terms of the proposed adjustment in
place of the exaggerated and imaginative state
ments which will otherwise reach them 1
therefore beg leave respectfully to suggest
that said treaty and all such correspondence,
messages and documents relating to the same
may be deemed important to accomplish
these purposes be at once made public by the
order of your honorable body.

WASHINGTON, Feb. Is, 1888.
The message Of the President in trans
uniting the treaty to the Senate reads as
follows:
10 THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES: In
my annual message, transmitted to Congress
in December, 1885, it was stated that negotia-
lions were then pending for the settlement OF
the questions growing out of the rights claimed
by American fishermen in British North Amer
lean waters. As a result of such negotiations,
a treaty has been agreed Rpon between the
plenipotentiaries of Her Britannia Majesty and
the United States, concluded and signed in this
capital, under my direction and authority, on
the 18th OF February inst, which now have
the honor to submit to the Senate, with the
recommendation that 1t shall receive the con-
sent of that body, as provided in the Constitu-
ton in order that the ratification thereof NAV
be duly exchanged and the treaty be carried
INTO effect.

proper checks in the hands of the local au-
thorities to identify the recipients and prevent
abuse, and can form no impeachment to those
who intend to use them fairly. The hospitality
secured for our vessels in all cases of actual
Distress with liberty to unload and sell and
tranship their cargoes, is full and liberal.
These provisions will secure the substantial
enjoyment of the treaty rights for our fisher
men under the treaty of 1918. for which con-
tention has been steadily made in the CORE
spondence of the Department OF State nd our
minister at London and by the American ne
gotiators of the present treaty. The right OF
our fishermen under the treaty of 1918 did not
extend to the procurement of distinctive fishery
supplies in Canadian ports and harbors: one
item, supposed to be essential, to wit, bait, was
plainly denied them by the explicit and definite
words of the treaty of 1918, emphasized by the
course of the negotiation and express decisions
which preceded the conclusion of that
treaty. The treaty now submitted contains no
provision affecting tariff duties, and indepen-
IDENTIFY of the position assumed UPON the part
of the United States that no alteration in our
tariff or other domestic legislation could be
made as the price or consideration of obtaifing
the rights of our citizens secured by treaty, ii
was considered more expedient to allow any
change in the revenue laws of the United
States to be made by the ordinary exercise OF
legislative will, and in promotion OF the public
interests. Therefore, the addition to the free
list of fish, fish oil, whale and seal OIL etc. re-
cited in the last article Of the treaty. is wholly
left to the action OF Congress. And in connec-
ton Herewith the Canadian and Newfoundland
right to regulate all sales OF bait and other
fishing supplies within their own jurisdiction is
recognized. and the right Of our fishermen to
freely purchase these things is made contingent
by this treaty upon the action of Congress in
the modification of our tariff laws Our social
and commercial interests with those popula-
lions who have been placed upon our borders
and made forever our neighbors. Is made ap-
parent by list of United States common car
riers, marine and inland, connecting their lines
with Canada, which was returned by the Score
tary OF the Treasury to the Senate on the sew.

First, free and untrammeled suffrage
lies at the foundation OF the republic, and
its restoration 10y every constitutional
means in states where it has been over
thrown or impaired. and its maintenance
everywhere Is our settled and determined
purpose. We charge that the democratic
party is now in the endowment of power

preston of the franchise in the southern
states, and we demand OF congress that in
the exercise of its constitutional authori-
~ II enact such laws as will insure free
dom aud fairness in the election of repre-
sentatives to congress.
Second. we favor such economic lepisla-
ton as will protect all American indus
tries that can be profitably pursued by
American citizens. We insist that our
producers are entitled TO the control OF
their own markets to the extent Of their
ability TO supply them. We denounce all
efforts TO open those markets TO competi-
ton with the cheap labor and album
dant capital OF foreign nations as hostile
to the interests OF labor and destructive
TO national and individu al prosperity. We
regard the last annual message OF the
president and the recent action OF the ma

as direct and open assault upon these
industries which will, IL unresisted, result
in introducing policy of free trade that
