THE DUTY ON FISH.
In speaking in regard to the proper rate
If duty to be placed on fish, Mr.. Spooner
cave II as his view that while the fishermen
On the eastern coast were protected IL was
not nrouer that the fisheries on the great
iakes should be thrown open to free COM
netition. If there was anything in the
ppronosition of reciprocity the United States
oupht not to throw open its markets to the
Canadian fishers.
Mr Gibson concured in this view. 1t was
well that when the question of reciprocity
was treated with the United States should
have the advantage Of position, which was
as important in diplomacy as in war.
SELFISH POLICY.
Mr.. Reagan commented upon the fact
that while the protectionist senator's were
in favor Of admitting fish free, they imposed
a duty of LOS per cent. on cotton ties. In
other words, they were high protectionists
when protection was necessary for their In
terests, and free traders when free trade was
in their interest.
A vote was taken on the committee
amendment to paragraph 545, and itwas
agreed TO without the yeas and nays. 1t
now reads: Fresh fish caught by citizens
Of the United States in the high seas or in
the open waters of the lakes forming the
boundary between the United States and
the Dominion of Canada"
Paragraph 27S, relating to fish on the du-
table list, was then taken up. AS finally
agreed to it read: Fish, smoked, dried,
salted, picked, fresh, frozen, packed in ice,
or otherwise prepared for preservation, not
specially enumerated or provided for In
this act, one-half of cent per pound"
Mr.. German moved to reduce the duty on
hops to cents per pound.

closed the question as to an extension of the
time for the consideration Of the tariff bill

ing session. After an interchange Of views
on both sides, Mr.. Aldrich Withdrew the

mitted another, extending the time for the

GLIDING Monday, when the discussion Is TO
