Aug. 97. —Seerstary Edge, of the Pennsylvania state board of has discovered another outbreak BY THE PRESIDENT An Important Message Trans- mitted to Congress. RETALIATION AND PROTECTION. The Course Recommended in Place of the Treaty. PROMPT RESPONSE OF THE HOUSE. The President Asks Congress for Imme- diate Legislation Conferring Fower Upon Him to Frohibit Canadas from Transmitting Wares In Bond Across Our Territory—He Also Recommends that Oanadian Vessels In American Waters Be Giver Only Such Rights and Privileges as Are Given American Ves sels in Canadian Waters, WasminoToN, Aug 24 —The president sent to congress a message in reference to the re- jection of the fisheries treaty by the senate. He recommends immediate legislation con- ferring upon the executive the power to sus pend, by proclamation, the operation of all laws and regulations permitting the transit of goods, wares and merchandise, in bond, acrom or over the territory of the United States, to or from Canada. Legislation is also recommended that will give Canadian vemels navigating our canals precisely the same advantages granted American vessols in Canadian canals, and that both be meas ured by the same rule of discrimination. The communication, in its full text, is as follows: To tae CONGRESS: The rejection by the senate of the treaty lately negotiated for the settlement and ad- t of the differsnces existing between the United States and (Great Britain concern- ing the rights and privileges of American fishermen in the ports and waters of British North America seems to justify a survey of the condition to which the pending question is thus remitted, The treaty upon this subject concluded in JB18, through disagreements as to the mean. ie of its terms, has been a fruitful sources of tion and trouble. Our citizens engaged to fishing enterprises in waters adjacent to Canada have been subjected to numerous vexations, interferences and annoyances, their vessels have boon seized upon pretexis which appeared to be entirely inadmissible, and they have been otherwise treated by the Canadian authorities and officials in a man- per inexcasably harsh and oppressive. This conduct bas been justified by Great Britain and Canada by the claim that the treaty of 1818 permitted it, and upon the ground that it was neesenry to the proper protection of Canadian interests Wa deny that treaty agreements jostify thew acta and wo further maintain that, aside from any treaty ree straints, of disputed interpretation, the rela tive positions of the United States and Canada as near noig bors, the growth of our joint commbree, the development and prosperity of both countries, which amicable relations surely guarantes, and above all, the ber ality always extended by the United States to the pe plo of Canada, furnished motives | for kindness and consideration bigher and better than treaty covenants While keanly sensitive to all that was ex- asperating in the condition, and by no means indisposed to support the just complaints of our injured citizens, I still deemed i$ my duty for the preservation of important American interests which were directly in- volved, and in view of all the details of the gitustion, to attempt by negotiation to remedy existing wrongs and to finally ter minate, by & fair and just treaty, these ever recurring causes of difficulty. I fully believe thatthe treaty just rejectad by the senate was well suited to the exi y, and that its provisions were adequate or our security in the future from vexatious incidents, and for the promotion of friendly neighborhood and intimacy, without seri digs. the least our national pride or am quite conscious that neither opinion of the value of the rejected por the motives which prompted tion are of importance in the I of the senate thereupon, But itis of importance to note treaty has been rejected without ores duponiilon oc’ 104 Jury of the alter or amend its provisions, aad wanting ratic for the adjust. ment of the long standing tations! differ ences with which wo have to deal, by methods of conference, an agreement baving thus been declined, I am by no means disposed to abandon the interests and the rights of our people in the premises, or to neglect thelr evances; and I therefore turn to the con templation of a plan of retaliation ass mode which still remains of treating the situation. by spirit which bas characterized our tion, our tariff laws have, since 1868, been so waived in favor of Canada as to allow, free of duty, the transit’ across the terr of the United States of property arriving at from Canada to other foreign coun- When the treaty of Washington was negotiated, in 1571, between the United Btates and Groat Britain, having for its ob- very largely the modification of the fei hi i af a» of the rovenue as the governments | ship their fish in bond and free of duty through Canadian territory to this country; | i been denied. The privilege of such shipment which had been extended to our fishermen was a most their eatch, and doubling their opportunities for profitably prosscuting their vocation. During the last six years the imports and exports of British Canadian provinces car- ried across our territory under the privileges granted by our laws amounted in value to about $270,000,000, nearly all of which were guods dutiable under our tariff laws, by far the larger part of this traffic consisting of exchanges of goods between Great Britain carried from our ports in thelr own vessels. 1 recommend Immediate legislative action conferring upon the executive the power to suspend, by proclamation, the operation of all laws and regulations permitti 10 transit of goods, wares and merchandise, in bond, across or over the territory of the United States, to or from Canada. I desire also to call the attention of the congress to another subject involving such wrongs and unfair treatment to our citizens gg opinion, require prompt action navigation of the great lakes, and the immense business and carrying trade grow. ing out of the same, have been treated broadly and liberally by the United States government, and made free to all mankind, while Canadian railroads and navigation companies share in our country’s transporta- tion upon terms as favorable as are accorded to our own citizens, The canals and other public works, built and maintained by the government along the line of the lakes, are rade free to all In contrast to this condition, and evinecing a narrow and ungenerous commercial spirit, svery lock and canal which is a public work of the Dominion of Canada is subject to tolls ind charges, By article 27 of the treaty of 1871 pro. dston was made to secure to the citizens of habitants of the Dominion, and to also equality with the inhabitants of the United Slates The equality with the inbabitants of the Dominion which we were promised in the use of the canals of Canada did not secure to us freedom from tolls in their navigation, but we had a right to expect that we, being Americans and interested in American com- merce, would be no more burdened in regard to the same than Canadians engaged in their cession made was, or should have been, that merchandise or property transported to an American market through these canals to an adjoining Canadian market. All our citizens, producers and consumers, as wall as vomal Owners, were to enjoy the equality promised, And yet evidence has for some time been before the congress, furnished Ly the seore- tary of the treasury, showing that while the tolls charged in the first instance are the same to all such vowels and cargos ss are destined to certain Canadian ports are al lowed a refund of nearly the entire tolls, while those bound for American ports are not allowed any such advantage.
