The avowed expectations
of the Canadians

Ii these were any doubt that
the new arrangement would de-
liver the New England fisheries
to Canadians, the avowed expec-
tations of the Canadians them
selves would answer them. The
whole tone of the Canadian press
IS frankly exultant The Halifax
Chronicle. one of the government
organs of Canada, says, editorial
ly: 1T will place the fishermen,
particularly of the western shore
of Nova Scotia, in practical con-
troll of the New England market
for fresh fish" The article con-
tdently expects the opening of
the markets of the United States
and Porto Rico" hitherto a mar
ket chiefly for American fish. The
Chronicle adds candidly that the
Canadian government drove
shrewd bargain, i'll this wise:
The free admission of fish OF all
kinds to the American markets,
as concession gained without
any abandonment of national
rights or any reciprocal conces-
sion of fishing privileges to
Americans i'll Canadian waters, is
of the highest Importance" These
expressions could be multiplied in
quotation. They run alike.
From the testimony given by
the Gloucester delegation in
Washington it has been made
clear that the present duty of a
fraction of a cent on salt and on
fresh fish has been just enough
to enable the American schoon-
ers to compete. The year 1909,
tor instance. was rather an I'M
usually good year, yet had it not
been for the duty OF one-quarter
of a cent per pound, the Glou-
cester firms would have been do
ing business at loss Of money.
The notion that free fish would
make that food cheaper for the
ultimate consumer was also dis
posed of by the Washington tes-
timony. The fraction of a cent
OF duty thus removed would dis
appear long before its benefits
were felt by those who eat the
fish. Or consider it thus: 100000,
the total value of duties on Cana
dian fish, as divided among the
millions who eat fish. The de-
crease might come to a cent a
year. or less.
The foregoing is the gist of the
fisheries dispute on a basis of
hard business fact. 1t is set forth
here, not in the spirit of special

Man Bleeds to Death.

WESTMI NST Err, Md. February 2o-
Suspicion that Bernard Fowler had been
foully dealt with was caused Monday by
the finding of his dead body in an un-
furnished house on Fair Ground Hill,
near the city limits. His home was near
the pool of the Westminster Water Com
rany. more than mile farther away,
but he had placed a lounge and covering
in the kitchen Of the house where his
body was found, and was in the habit of
sleeping there. The condition of the place
appeared to indicate that a struggle had
occurred.
He was found lying on the stairway
leading from the second story to the
garnet, with a crucifiX lying at his feet.
Monday night a jury summoned by JUS
tice Edwin W. Slnder. acting as coroner.
investigated the cause of death and con
cluded that it was due to hemorrhage.
brought on by swallowing blood from the
socket of tooth which had bpen ex-
tracted the day before. 1t was known
that bleeding from this had been pro

effect that swallowing the blood had
caused violent vomiting and hemorrhap gre
of the lungs. While bleeding thus FoW-
Ter had wandered all over the house and

For Her Fisheries

on account of the protective
tariff. The labor, job by job.
from carpenter to caulker. from
caulker to sail-maker, was more
expensive.
Not only the building. but the
provisioning OF the vessels when

England. The American firms

have spent money literally in the
effort to make their vessels

In the furry raised by the pro-
posed reciprocity arrangement
with Canada, New England's po-
sition has been misstated. One
of the dispatches describing
Gloucesters hearing at Washing
ton referred to Capt. w. II.
Thomas, who. it averred, runs
fishing smack" This description
of Capt. Billy" Thomas. one OF
the most famous shippers on the
New England coast. is a sample
OF the vagueness with which the
whole dispute has been handled
IN the-public prints.
New England has been assured
that reciprocity will increase her
fish trade. The proof which has
been offered is the history OF the
period of free fish under the for
mer reciprocity treaty, from 1873
to 1885, when. it is asserted. the
business of Gloucester enormous

Glouce ter has dared tn make a

process of fighting ii now appears
that the only difference between
Gloucester and scores of other
American industries is ono OF

the proposal meant and acted
promptly. And the business in
terests which were. a few days
ago. counseling the fishermen
TO be quiet and let themselves be
offered up on the altar of reel
procity have already themselves
begun to hammer at the doors of
Congress.
While Gloucester was being re-

fully, it next appeared, from Of
fetal sources in Canada. that the
Canadians would hardly have
considered any reciprocity ar
rangement which did not begin
with free fish. This did not sur
prise Cape Ann in the least The

Fight is National, not
Local

There was more than slang in
this, as presently appeared. Glou-
ccSter hight WAS presently rec
ognized as not local ono: first.
because for years that CITY has
been allowed to fight the battles
OF the New England fisheries:
and, second, because the tight of
Gloucester is the fight of any in
dustry which has the right to
claim the protection OF a national
policy of protected trade.
1t is perfectly evident that if
protection has forced up the
prices of materials and labor be-
yond a point where Gloucester
can compete with Canada with
out a protective tariff, then the
fish industry itself is entitled to
the protection of that same tariff
which has made competition inn
possible without its help.
The fishermen have another
claim on the clemency of this
government which cannot be set
forth SO glibly in cents and frac-
tons. When these men, among
them Capt. Peoples and Capt.
William II. Thomas (Tommy
Bohlin would have gone. if he
had been left alive, started for
Washington. things looked as if
they were survivors of an age
that is rapidly drawing to a close
on this coast. Their errand was
amusing; it was gallant; it was
bit tragic. Were they leading a
losing fight? SO might. the Brit

grandfathers of these very men
set out to help the colonies win
their independence Out of the
New England fishing fleet sprang
the United States navy. And if

these who were urged by Mr..

ghosts.
This nation has grazed too
long III the fat pastures inland
1t needs to remember a few of
the Bullets of the sea. This is
not allegory; it is fact. The
country will pay dearly some day
for its neglect of the merchant
marine. and the circumstance of
the passage OF the insignificant
ocean mail bill on the day when
Gloucester was asking not to
have its fleet diplomatized off the
seas was not the least striking
historical coincidence.

sectional dispute? 1t is nation
