THE FISHERIES.

The questions between Great Britain and
the United States relating to rights of
American fishermen, under treaty and in
ternational comfy, in the territorial wat
ers of Canada and Newfoundland, | regret
To say are not yet satisfactorily adjusted
These matters were fully treated in my
message to the Senate of February 20,
1888, together with which convention,
concluded under my authority, with Her
Majesty's Government, on the 18th of Feb
ruary last, for the removal of all causes OF
misunderstanding, was submitted By me
for the approval of the Senate. This
treaty having been rejected by the Senate,
l transmitted message to the Congress
on the 23d of August last, reviewing the
transactions and submitting for considera-
tion certain recommendations for legisia-
ton concerning the important questions
involved. Afterward, on the 18th OF Sep
tember in response to resolution of the
Senate, again communicated fully all the
information in my possession as to the ac-
tion of the Government of Canada affect
ing the commercial relations between the
Dominion and the United States, includ-
ing the treatment of American fishing YES
sells in the ports and waters of British
North America. These communications
have all been published, and therefore
opened to the knowledge of both Houses
of Congress. although two were addressed
to the Senate alone. Comment on or rep
etition of their contents would be super
fiuous, and am not aware that anything
has since occurred which should be added
to the facts therein stated. Therefore
merely repeat, as applicable to the present
time, the statement which will be found in
my message to the Senate of Sept. IL last.
THAT since March 8, 1887, no case has
been reported to the department of State
wherein complaint has been made of un-
| friendly or unlawful treatment of Ameri-
can fishing vessels on the part of the Can
adian authorities in which reparation was
not promptly and satisfactorily obtained

TRUSTS AND MoNOPoLIEs.

As we view the achievements of aggre-

trusts. combinations and monopoiies,
while the citizen is struggling far In the

the carefully restrained creatures OF the

1t canno: be denied that the selfish and
private interests which are so persistently
heard when efforts are made to deal in a
Just and comprehensive manner with our
tariff laws are related to, il they are not re-
sponsible for. the sentiment largely pre-
vailing among the people that the General
Government is the fountain of individual
and private aid; that it may be expected to
relieve with paternal care the distress of
citizens and communities, and that from
the fulness of It's Treasury it should, upon
the slightest possible pretext of promoting
the general good, apply public funds to
the benefit of localities and individuals.
Nor can it be denied that there Is grow
ing assumption as against the Government
and in favor of private claims and inter-
ests the usual rules and limitations of bu-
siness principles and just dealing should
be waived. These ideas have been unhap-
piy much encouraged by legislative ac-
ouiescence Relief from contracts made
with the Government is too easily accord
ed in favor of the citizen. The failure to
support claims against the Government by
proof is often supplied by no better con-
sideration than the wealth of the Govern
ment and the poverty of the claimant.
Gratuities in the form of pensions are
granted upon no other real ground than
the needy condition of the applicant, or
