FAVORS FISHERY TERMS
Dominion Inspector Sees Bene-
fits for Canada.

ST. John y. b., Feb. 3.-The hsherles IN
dustry of Canada, especially in the mari
time provinces, would be greatly benehted
by the ratification OF the proposed reciproc-
ity agreement between the United Staes and
Canada in the opinion Of J. +. Calder. one
Of the Dominion inspectors Of fisheries, who
is in this city. The reciprocity arrange
nerts if carried out" said Mr.. Calder, will
undoubtedly result in great boom to the
fishing industry This is especially true IN
tho case of smoked herring, an industry
which was seriously crippled by the pas
sage Of the Mckinley tariff bill
Under the new agreement smoked her
ring and the prepared 0oneless herring are
to be admitted into the United States free
cf duty. This means the reopening OF
Canadian smokehouses giving employment
TO a larger number Of laborers. The fact
that fish are TO be mutually free will give
cur people the opportunity for the first time
Of buying fresh herring from the American
side and then selling the Americans the
prepared article
The debate on the reciprocity agreement
Will be taken up IN the Canadian Parlia-
ment at Ottawa on Tuesday next. The
proposed agreement is being strongly op-
posed BY number of Canadian manufact-
urers. as well as by leading members of the
Conservative party.

FIGHT ON RECIPROCITY
IN GREAT BRITAIN
Canadian Question May Become
Leading Issue Between
the Parties.
BALFOUR URGED TO ACTION
Liberals Regard Movement as
Dealing a Death Blow to
Arguments for Pro-
lection.

London. Feb. 4.-The British public to-
day through the morning newspapers
will make its first acquaintance with the
full text Of the United States Canadian
reciprocity agreement. 1t was commu-
nicated To the Colonial Office at the end
of last week by the Governor General OF
Canada and made available to the Board
of Trade, but for some unexplained rea-
son it was not communicated to the
press until yesterday.
The Unexpectedly wide scope and
sweeping character Of the agreement
cause surprise and renew perturba-
tion among the Unionist newspapers.
These organs urge the Unionists To drop
all differences and realize the gravity Of
a situation which calls for the greatest
energy. THE Morning Post says;
Let the Unionists drop all their
schemes for the reform Of the House or
Lords and fight to the death for imperial
and national union"
The Daily Telegraph" looks to Arthur
J. Balfour as the only man Of the party
able to deal with the difficult situation.
MIR. Balfour,' THE Telegraph says 'is
greatest with his back to the wall, and
he knows the height and the breadth Of
this crisis"
All hopes that the agreement will not
be ratified appear to have vanished from
the minds of the political writer's here,
whose utterances now are confined to
| the means Of dealing with the new situa-
! tion.
! The Liberals take a contented view Of
/ the situation regarding the agreement
as having dealt the death blow to the
! protectionst movement. Augustine Bir-
| ren. Chief Secretary for Ireland, speak
/ ing at Bristol tonight said that he was
reioiced TO see free trade principles con-
! ducring all over the world. He con
| tended that Canada was perfectly free
/ 10 make the best bargain she could

well in her enterprise"

agreement with mixed feelings. If rati-
fed he said. it would have disturb
ing effect on the Canadian transconti-
| mental railways. but the growth and de-
! velopment of the northwestern provinces
If Canada were so great and rapid thai
| he had no misgiving that this would
more than meet the leakage arising from
the agreement.
The principal United States trans
continental railways" Mr. Skinner
added, "such as the Great Northern and
| Northern Pacific, in which deal Of Brit
| ish capital is invested. must benefit con-
/ siderably. Indeed. the agreement Is
practically the realization Of James j
/ Hills persistent agitation
On the whole Mr.. Skinner thought the
| agreement advantageous 10 Canada, and
though politically somewhat dangerous
| he was perfectly confident of Canada
| loyalty to the mother country.
