4 YANKEE TRICK IN LEGISLATION

In the bill to prohibit pelaeic or omen
sea sealing. by Americans, which was sent
TO the president by congress few days ago.
there appears to have been a clause that In
dicates that some fine Italian hand was at
work in the framing OF the measure.
The last provision in the bill prohibits
the Importation of seal skins into the
United States by any person or from any
quarter aud authorizes ne seizure and
rontiscation outright of any such imported
skins when found In this country.

that the United States furnish the chief
market for seal skins. and TO close such
market is to render pclasic sealing un-
profitable, There is abroad only about a
fourth OF the demand for tho furs OF this
description that there Is In the United
States, aud any considerable catch would
so ovorstock the only remaining market
mat The prices would not pay the sealers.
The move is regular Yankee trick and
