Tiie message el the president en our
commercial relations with the Dominion of
Canada vra3 a surprise te Congress tnd et
somewhat startling character te the Repub
licans. Referring In dignified language te
the rejection of the fisheries treaty by the
Henate, and the consequent eileet upon
American Interests', the president ex presses
the opinion that appropriate legislation
should ba enacted te withheld from Canada
these commercial privileges still continued
te Its citizens under the treaty et 1671, In
retaliation for the refusal te American uh uh
ermen of the prlvilcge heretofore enjoyed
In transporting their oateh In transit
through the Dominion territory tree et
duly.
The presldent therefore recommends Im
mediate legislation te enable him by procla
mation te suspend the operatlon of all laws
and regulations permitting the transit of
goods, wares and merchandise In bend
aoress or ever the territory of the United
H tat ea te or from Canada. The Senate hav
lug rfjeeted a treaty "well milted te the ex
igency," and whose previsions were ade
quate for our security In the future from
vexatious Inolrients, and for the promotion
of friendly neighborhood and Intimacy,
without sanrlUelng In the least our national
prldn and dignity," the president practically
adepts the judgment of the Senate and
Invites them te pass the necessary legis
lation te carry out ttielr own expressed
views by the enforcement et retaliatory
measures which "should be thorough and
vigorous."
At the same time the president points
out that the pilley et national retaliation
manifestly embraces the lnfilotlen of the
great harm upon these who have Injured us
with the least possible damage te ourselves.
He therefore recommends aueh legislation
as will enable him te carry out this polley.
This la specially desirable, for the reason
that the president believes the atrlet en
forcement of the Retaliation act of last year
would be moredleastrous te American than
te Canadian Interests.
When the message was received In the
Senate en Thursday a commotion was ere.
ated en the Republican aide. It was ex
p acted that a mossage en the subject would
be received from the presldent, and Mr.
Edmunds, In the expectation of preventing
It from being read and inade pnblte before
he ana ether Republicans could have an
opportunity te poruse It, moved an adjourn
ment wbleb was carried. Mr. Edmunds'
purpose, however, was frustrated, because
the message was also sent te the Heuse, in
which body it was read. Following Is the
full text of the message :
TEXT OI" TIIR MESSAflE.
Te the Congress : The rejection by the
Henate of the treaty lately negotiated for
the settlement and adjustment of the dif
ferences existing between the United
States and Great Britain concerning the
rights and privileges of American Usher
men In the ports and waters of British
North America Beems te Justify a survey of
the condition te which the pendlug ques
tion Is thnn remltted.
The treaty upon this subject coueluded
in ISIS, through disagreements as te the
meaning et its term", has been a fruitful
source of irritation and trouble. Our citi
zens engnged in fishing enterprises In
waters adjacent te Canada have been sub
jected te numerous vexatious Interferences
and annoyances, their vessels have been
seized upon pretexts which appear te be
entirely inadmissible, and they nave been
otherwtso treated by the Canadian author
ities and olllelal sin a niAnner Inexcusably
harsh and oppressive.
This conduct has been Justified by Great
Britain and Canada by the claim that the
treaty of 1813 permitted It, and upon the
ground thai it was nrceseary te the preper
protection of Canadian interests. We deny
tnat treaty agreements justify these acte,snd
we farther maintain that, aslde from any
treaty restraints of disputed interpretation,
the relatlve positions of the United States
and Canada as near neighbors, the growth
of our elnt commerce, the development
and preiperlty of both countries, whleh
mlcaelu rotations surely guarantee, and,
above all, the liberality at nays ex ten dad by
the United States te the people of Canada,
furnished mollves for kindness and consid
eration higher and better than treaty cove
nants. While keenly sonsltive te all that was
exasperating In the condition, and by no
mesne indisposed te support the Just com
plain taofeurinjurodoltlzjns, 1 still deemed
It my duty for the preservation of Imper
taut American interests which were di
rectly involved, and In view et all the de
tails of the situation, te attempt by negotia
tion te remedy existing wrongs and te fin
ally terminate, by a fair and just treaty,
these ovcr-recurrleg cai.ses of difficulty.
1 fully believe that the treaty Jusircjeeted
by the Senate was well Butted tj the
exigency, and that lta previsions were ade
quate for our security in the future from
vexatious Incidents and for the promotion
of friendly neighborhood and Intlmaey
without saoriflelng In the least our national
pride or dignity.
I am quite conscious that neltber my
opinion of the value or the rejoetod treaty
nor the motives whleh prompted its nego
tiation are of Importance In the light of the
Judgment of theSenate thereupon. Hut It
is of Importance te note that this treaty has
been rejected without any apparent disposi
tion en the part et the Hanato te alter or
amend its previsions, and with the evident
Intention, net wanting expression, bat no
negotiation should at preaent be oencluded
touching the matter at lssue.
The co-operation neetsiary for the adjust
ment et the long-standing national ditler ditler
enees with wbiab we have te ileal by
methods of conference anu agreement hav
ing been thus declined, I am by no means
dlapetei te abandon the Interests
and the right of the people In the
premises, or te neglect their grievances ;
and 1, therefore, turn te the contemplation
of a plan of retaliation as a mode, which
still remalnp, of treating the tnatlen.
I am net unmindful et the gravity et the
responsibility assumed In adopting thlallne
of conduet, nor de 1 fall In the least te a p.
predate Its serleuB consequences. It will
be impossible te Injure our Canadian neigh neigh
bera by retaliatory measures without in
flicting some damage upon ourowncltl eurowncltl ourewncltl
zsnr. This results from our proximity,
our oemmunlty et Interests and the Inevita
ble commingling of the business enterprises
whleh have eeen develeped by mutual ao ae
tlvltv Plainly stated, the polley of national
retaliation manifestly embraces the lnlilc
tlen of the greatest harm upon these who
have injured ns with the least passible
damage te ourselves. There Is also an evi
dent propriety, as well as an Invitation te
moral support, found In visiting upon the
ettendlng party the same measure or kind
.'i.iulmnnt rt whlnh WA .vimitla'n and aa
far as possible with the same line. And,
stove all things, the plan et retaliation, if
entered upon, should be thorough and
vigorous.
These considerations lead me at this time
te Invoke the aid and counsel of the
Uengresa and its support In such a further
grant et power ai aeemi te me necessary
and desirable te render effective the policy
I have Indicated. The Congress has atrcaly
pasted a law, which received exeontlve
assent en the 3d day of March, 1SS7, provid
ing that in case American flthlug vessels
bel-g or visiting In the waters, or at any et
the petts of the British dominions of North
America, should be, or lately had beee,
deprived et the rights te which they were
entitled by treaty or law, or if they were
denied certain ether privileges therein
specified, or vexed and harassed In the
enjoyment el the same, the president might
deny te vessels and their masters and crews
of the British dominions of North America
any entrance Inte the waters, perta or
harbors of the United States, and also deny
entry Inte any pert or plaee of the United
States et any produet of said dominion or
of any goeua coming from said dominion
te the United States.
While I shall net hesitate, upon preper
occasion, te en for 38 this act. It would aeem
te be unnecessary te suggest that It such
enforcement Is limited In aueh a manner as
shall result In the least possible injury te
our own people, the effect would probably
be entirely Inadequate te the acoomnllsh aceomnllsh acoemnllsh
mentofthe purpose desired. 1 deem It
my duty, therefore, te call the attention et
the Congress te certain particulars in the
action et the authorities of the Dominion of
Canada, In addition te the general allega
tions already made, whleh appear te be In
such marked oentrast te the Ilberal and
friendly disposition of our country as in
my opinion te eall for aueh legislation as
will, upon the principles already stated,
properly supplement the power te in
augurate retaliation already vested In the
executive.
Actuated by the generous and neighborly
spirit which has characterized our legisla
tion, our tirll! laws have alnce 1660 been se
far waived In favor of Canada as te allow
free of duty thn transit across the territory
of the United States of property arriving at
our ports and destined te Canada, or ex
ported from Canada te ether ferelan
oeuntrlos. When the treaty et VI aablngten
was negotiated In 1871 between the Unitsd
States and Creat Britain, having for Its
object very largely the mollUcatlen of the
treaty or 1818, the privileges above referred
te were made reolpreoal and given
In return by Canada te the United
Stales In the fellow leg language, con
tained in article 29 or said treaty :
" It Is agreed that, for the term
of years mentloned In artlela 33 et this
treaty, goods, wares or merchandise arriv
ing at the ports of New Yerk, Bosten and
Portland, and any ether ports In the
United States whleh have been or may,
from time te time, be specially designated
by the president of the United Statet, and
destined for her Brltannle majesty's pos
sessions in North America, may be entered
at the proper ciiBtem house, and conveyed
in transit, without the payment of dutlea
through the territory of the United States,
nnder such rules, regulations and condi
tions for the protection of the revenue aa
the government of the United States
may from lime te time prescribe ;
and under like rules, regulations
and conditions, goods, wares or
merchandise may be conveyed In transit,
without the payment et duties from Biich
possessions, through the territory of the
United States for expert from the said
ports of the United States.
"It Is further agreed that, for the like
period, goods, wares or merchandise arriv
ing at auy of the ports or her Brltannle
majesty's possessions in North America,
and destined for the United States, may be
entered at the preper custom house Bud
conveyed In transit, without the payment
of duties, through the Bald possessions,
under such rules and regulations and con
ditions for the protection of the revenue as
the governments of the said possessions
may from time te time prescribe ; and,
nnder like rules and regulations and con
ditions, goods, wares or merchandise may
be conveyeJ in transit, without payment
of duties, from the United States through
the said possessions te ether placee In tne
United States, or for ex perta from ports In
the said possessions " In the year 1880
notice was received by the representatives
of our government tbat our fishermen
would no longer be allowed te ship their
fish in bend and free of duty through
Canadian territory te this country, aud
ever sines tbat time aueh shipments baa
been denled.
The prlvilcge of such nhlpment which
has been extended te our Usherrnen was a
most Important one, allowing them te
spend the tlme upon the llshlng grounds
which would otberwlso be deveted te a
voysge home with their catch, and doub
ling their opportunities for profitably prose
cuting their vocation. In forbidding the
transit et the catch et our fishermen ever
their territory In bend and free of duty the
Canadian authorities doprlved us et the
only facility dependent upon their conooa cenooa coneoa
slon, and ter which we could supply no
substitute
The value te the Dominion of Canada of
tbe prlvlloe of transit ler their oxperta and
Imports across our territory and te and
from our ports, though great in every
aspect, will be hotter appreciated when It la
remembered that, for a conslderablo por
tion of caeti year, the St. Lawronce river,
which constitutes the direct avenue of for
eign cemtucice leading te Canada, la closed
by Ice,
During the last six years tbe Imports und
expeits of British Canadian provinces car
ried across our territory nnder tbe privi
leges granted by our laws amounted In
value te about 270,000,000, nearly all et
which were goods autlable under our tariff
laws, by far the larger part of this tratlle
consisting ct exchanges of goods between
Great Britain and her Amorleau provinces
brought te and carried from our ports in
their own vessels The treaty stipulation
entered In e by our government was In
harmony with laws whleh were then en
our statute book, and are still In force.
I recommend Immediate legislative an
tlen conferring upon the extoutlve the
power te suspend by proclamation the op
eration of all laws and regulations permit
ting the transit of goods, wares and mer
chandise lu bend across or ever the terri
tory of tbe United states te or from Can
ada. Tbore need be no hesitation In bus.
pending these laws arising from the sup
position that their continuation Is aecured
by treaty obligations, for it seems quite
plain tbat artlole 29 et the treaty of 1871,
whleh was the only article Incorporating
such laws, terminated the first day of July,
1S3G.
The article Itself declares that Its provi previ
sions Bhall be In ferca " ter the term of
years mentioned in article 31 of this
treaty." Turnlug te article 3:1 we rind no
mention of article -'., but only a prevision
that articles 18 te 25 ineluslve, and article
30 shall tikn, effect as seen as tbe laws re.
quired te carry them Inte operation shall
be passed by the legislative bodies et thn
different countries concerned, and " that
they shall remaln in ferca for the period of
ten years from the date at which they may
ceme Inte operation, and, further, until the
expiration of two years after eltber of the
high contracting parties shall have given
notlee te the ether of Its wish te terminate
the same."
1 am of opinion that the " term of years
mentioned In article 33," referred te la
article 29 as the limit of its duration, means
the period during wnicu arttates im teui in.
elusive and article 30, commonly called tbe
" fishery article," Bbeuld continue in ferce
under the langusge of said article 3.1,
That the Joint high commissioners who
negotiated the treaty se understood and
Intended the phrase la 001 tain, ter In a
statement, containing an account of their
negotiations, prepared under tbelr super
vision and approved by them, we find the
following entry en the subject: "The
trauslt question was dlseussed, and it waa
agreed tnat any settlement tbat might be
made should Include a reciprocal arrange
ment In tbat respeet for tbe period for which
the fishery artlelc a should be in ferca "
in addition te this very sittsfaotery evi
dence supporting this construction el the
language et article 29 it will be found that
the law passed by Congress te carry the
treaty into effect fnrnlshes conclusive
proof of the correctness et sneh construc
tion. ThlB law was pasted en Mareh 1, 1873.
and is entitled ' An act te carry Inte effect
the previsions of the treaty between the
United States and Creat Britain, Hlgned in
tbe city of Washington the 8th day of May,
ibTJ, relating te tne nsneries. Alter pro
viding In Its first and seoend sections for
puttiug In operation articles 18 te 25 in in
eiuitve, and article 30 or the treaty, the
third section is devoted te article 29 as
fellows :
' Section 3. That from the date et tbe
S resident's prcolamatlen, authorized by the
itt section et this act, and se long as the
articles IS te 25 inclusive, and article 30 of
said treaty shall remain In force according
te the terms and conditions of article 33 et
said treaty, all goedr, wares and merchan
dise arriving, etc. "
Following in the remainder of tte sec
tion are the precise words at the stipula
tion en the part et the United State aa
oentalned in article 29, whleh I save al
ready fully quoted.
Here, then, la n dlstlnet enactment of the
Congress limiting the duration et this ar
ticle of the treaty te the time that article
18 te 25 Inclusive and article 30 aheuld con
tinue in force. That In Using sneh limita
tion It but gave the meaning of the treaty
Itself Is indicated by the fact that Its pur
pose la deelared te be te carry IntOefiect the
previsions of the treaty, and by the further
fact tbat this law appears te have been sub
mttted before the promulgation of the treaty
te certain members of the Joint high com
mission representing both countries, and
met with no objection or dissent
There appearing te be no oenllUt or In
consistency between the treaty and the aet
et the Congress last cited, It is net neota neeta
sary te Invoke the wolf settled prlnolple
tbat In case or such conflict the statnte
governs the quoitleu. In any event, and
whether the law et 1873 construes the treaty
or governs It, section 29 et such treaty, 1
have no doubt, terminated with the pro
ceedings taken by our government te
termlnate articles 18 te 25 Inclusive, and
artlole 30 of the treaty. These proceedings
had their Inception In a Joint resolution of
Congress passed May 3, 1833, deelarlng tbat
in the Judgment of Congress theae articles
ought te be terminated, and directing the
protldent te give the notlee te the govern
ment of Crest Britain provided for In arti
cle 33 et tbe treaty. Such notice having
been given two years prier te the 1st day of
July, 1885, tbe articles mentioned were ab
solutely terminated en the last-named day,
and with the tn article 29 was also ter
minated. If by any language used In the Joint reso
lution It was Intended te relieve section 3
of the act of 1873 embodying at tide 29 of
the treaty from Its own limitations or te
save the artlole Itself, I am entirely satis
fied that the lntontlen miscarried. But
statutes granting te the people of Canada
the valuable privileges et transit for their
goods from our ports and ever our soil,
which has been passed prier te the making
of the treaty et 1871, and independently or
It, remained in force, and ever alnee the
abrogation or the treaty, and notwithstand
ing the refusal of Canada te permit our
uauermen te senu tneir nsu te their home
market through her torrltery In bend, the
people el tbat dominion have enjoyed with
out diminution thead vantages el our liberal
and generous laws.
Without basing our complaint upon a
violation or the treaty obligations, It U nev nev
thele?B true that such refusal of transit and
the ether Injurious aets wblch have been
recited constitute a provoking Inslatanee
upon rights nelther mitigated by tbe amen
ities of national intercourse, nor modified
by the recognition of our liberality and
generous considerations.
The history of events oenneotod with this
subject makes it manifest that tbe Canadian
government can, If se disposed, administer
Its laws and pretect the interests or its peo
ple without manifestations or unfriendli
ness and without the unnolghberiy treat
ment of our fishing vessels et which we
have Justly complained, and whatever Is
done en our part should be done in the
hepe that the disposition of the Canadian
government may remove the occasion of a
resort te the additional exeentlve power
new sought through legislative action.
1 am aatlsfled tbat upon the prlnelplea
whleh should govern retaliation our Inter
com se and relations with the Dominion of
Canada furnish no hotter opportunity for
Its application than is suggested by the oon eon oen
dltlous herein prosented, and that It could
net be mnre etloetlvoly inaugurated than
under the power et suspension recom
mended. While I have expressed my dear oonvlo eonvlo oenvlo
tlon upon tbe question of the continuance
of aeotlen 29 or the treaty of 1871, 1, of
course, fully onnecde the power and the
duty of the Congress, in contemplating
legislative action, te censtrue the terms of
any treaty stipulation which might, upon
any possible consideration of gecd faltb,
limit such action, aud llkowlse the peculiar
propriety In the case here presented of its
interpretation of lta own language as con
tained in the laws or 1873, putting in opera
tion said treaty, and of 18X1, directing the
termination thereof; and If in tbedellbor tbedellber
ate judgment of Congress any restraint te
the proposed legislation exists It Is te be
hoped that tbe expedleney of lta early re
moval will be recognized.
I doslre, also, te eall tbe attontlen of Con
gress te anotber subject Involving aueh
wrongs and unfair treatment te our citizens
as, In my opinion, requires prompt aotlen.
'the iiavlgntlen of the great lakes and the
immense buslneiiaand carrying trade grow
ing out et tbe same have been treated
broadly and llberally by the United States
governmont and made free te all mankind,
while Canadian railroads and navigation
companies share in our country's transpor
tation upon terms as favorable as aie ac
corded tu our own citizens.
The canals and ether public works built
and maintained by the government along
the line of the lakes are made free te all.
In contrast te this condition, and evinelng
anarrowandungenerous commercial spirit,
every lock and can si which is a publte
work of tbe Dominion et Canada is aubjeet
te tells and charges.
By artlole 27 of the treaty et 1871 provis previs
ion was made te secure te tbe citizens of
the United States tbe use of the Wetland,
St. l.awrenoe and ether canals tn tbe Domin
ion of Canada en terms of equality with the
Inhabitants of tbe dominion, and te also
secure te the subjects et Great Brltlan the
use of the St- Clair Flats canal en terms of
equality with tbe Inhabitants of the United
States
Tbe equality with tbe Inhabitants of tbe
Dominion which we were premised In the
use of tbe canals of Canada did net secure
te us freodein from tells in their naviga
tion, but we had a right te expect that we,
belug Americans and Interested In Amerl
ean commerce, would be no mere burdened
m regard te tbe same than uanadians en
gaged In their own trade ; and the 'vbele
spirit of concession made was, or should
bave been, that merchandise and property
transported te an American market
through these canals should net
be enbancbd In its cost by tells
many times higher than such as were
carried te an adjoining Canadian mar
ket. All our citizens, produeors and con cen con
auraers as well as vemel owners, were te
enjey the equality promlsed, And yet
evidence has ler Heme tlme been before tbe
Congress, furnlshed by tbe secretary of the
treasury, uhowleg that whlle the tells
charged In thn first Instance are thn same te
all, such vessels and cargoes asaredtNllned
te certain Canadian ports are allowed a re
fund of nearly the entire tell?, whlle these
bound for A murle-in perta are net allowed
any such advantage. Te premise equality,
and tben in praotieo make It conditional
upon our vessels doing Canadian business
Instead of ttielr own, la te fulfill a premise
witn tne snaaew or performance.
I recommend that such legislative action
be taken as will give Canadian vessels navi
gating our canalsand their osrgees precisely
the advantages granted te our vessels and
cargoes upon Canadian canalB, and that tbe
same bn measured by exactly tbe same rule
et discrimination.
Tbe eourte I have outlined and the rec
ommendations made relate te the honor and
dignity of our ceuutry and the protection
and preservation et the rights and Interests
el all our people. A government dots but
balf Its duty when it proteeis its elilzens at
home and perinlls them te be imposed upon
and humiliated by the unfair and over
reaching dispositions et ether nations. If
we invite our people te rely upon arrange
ments made for tbelr beuefit abroad, we
should see te it that they are net deceive! ;
and If we are generous and liberal le a
neighboring country onrpcepleabnnld reap
tne auvaniage 01 11 uy a return 01 uuerainy
and generosity.
These are subjects whleh partisanship
should net disturb or confuse. I.e: us sur
vey the ground calmly and mederately,
and having put aslde ether meana of set
tlement, if wuentbr upon the polley et re.
Ullatlen let us pursue it firmly, with a
determination only te subserve tbe Inter

from a reliable source tbat It Is net tbe In
tention of the Dominion government te take
any step in tbe direction of cancelling the
modus vivendt In connection with tbe
recently defeated treaty until after the

In faet tbe government have been looking
te tbelr power te withdraw the modus

the conclusion tbat even If disposed they
could net without great breach or Inter

by fishing ewners en lta arrival In this
morning's papers. The news seen spread
and a crowd of vessel ewners oengregaled
In Merchant's Kxchange talking ever the
matter. It was the general opinion among
business men that no ene wanted retali
ation as outlined in the message. An
embargo placed en Canadian fish and the
same tteatment Americans receive would
be all requlred te settle the dlOleulty.
On tbe ether hand tbe men

"The political opponents of Cleveland
appear te be adepts In the art known In
the United States as campaign
lying.' One of the trleka praotleed
In tbe last presidential contest was circu
lating extracts from a pretended pamphlet
said te have been tinned by 'The
Free Trade Club et Londen.' where
in Eugllshmen were exhorted te
undetstaud tbat Mho salvation of England
depends upon the destruction of Amerlcan
manufactures, ' and tbat the only possible
way In whleh American manufactures can
be doatreyed is by ' free trade. ' Te Eng
lish men the absurdity or a free trade club
which regards froe trade as tbe only
specific for destroying a nation's
manufactures, Is aufllolently obvious. OI
course, there never was any aueh pam
phlet. One of tbe latest Inventions
engendered by the present contest is re
ported te the ttfeet tbat a highly respect
able New Yerk paper whleh supports
Cleveland'H fiscal policy Is mortgaged for
hall a million dollars te two members of the
Cobden club at a suspiciously modorate In In
terestteo per cent, per annum. This
palpable fiction marks at all events seme
progress In 'campaign lying ' fromanartls fremanartls fromanartls
tle point of view, for while there Is net and
nover was any such body as tbe Free Trade
club, of Londen, the Cobden elub has at
least an oxlstence.
"Weourselves, we my here note, are
sufferers in some degree in this way, the
assallera et Mr, Cleveland's free trade
doctrines,' as they are pleased in tbelr ex
aggerated velu te style tbem, being just

iaaiagea from alleged articles In tbe Londen

A HKUIOUS OFFKNSE.
. Samuel Fasnaeht, a weak-minded young
man, was tried for aettlng lire te timber
lands en tbe Welsh Mountain en April 23
and April 29, The testimony of Adam
Rank was that he caught the defendant aet
tlng lire te some young timber en tbe
Welsh Mountain en the morning et Bun
day, April 29. Witness told him tbat he
would bave him arrested, and the boy then
extinguished tbe tire. A abort distance

acres of land, destroying all the timber.

some at whleh was very valuable.
A number of ether witnesses corroborated
tbe tostlueny et the above named wit

thought that it was extinguished, such waa
, net the case and that tha Are broke out
gtin the following day, and that all the
damage done waa from tbe fire caused by
tbe locomotive It waa denied that the boy
