answered that it would. This mistaken

wide. The licenses issued at Ottawa

that it is not correct. They are good for

ton on the tonnage OF each vessel in the
whole American fishing fleet that chooses
to pay for this privilege. This is clear
gain, because under the terms OF this
license the American vessels have no
rights of fishing in Canadian inshore
waters, Us they did under the old license
system OF twenty years ago, but only
sundry commercial privileges. And
these commercial privileges are them
selves benefit to Canada.
For example, the fisherman may buy
bait and ice; but this purchase leaves
money in Canada, and takes away pro-
ducts of which she has a superabund-
anCe. The Nova Scotia villagers are very
glad to take little money by furnish
ing bait to the Yankees. So, again, the
vessels may ship crews Of extra men in
the ports; but those men are Canadians,
who will be paid with American money,
and find lucrative employment.
No REASON WHY.
