VALUE OF TUE CANADIAN FISHERIES. TIIK DOMINION- PRACrit.'AI.I.Y DKPr.XDKNT ON TUB I'VITKD intfaVi FOR A MAKKKT. Haiii ix. Feb. Ti!-In order to ahow the value of tho i anadian fisheries. Attorney Ce nc ral Longley has prepared a tobie of itetls!le*j showing tho catch tot a numlior of years ond the course the trade has talien. The fisheries ore tho best In the world, and tho od vantages of Nova Scotian ports as o bas" of fishing nperotloa* ai-e unsurpassed. Tho total value of the retch tills year In Novo Scotia ls estimated at ?fft.r,lK),0()0, raf which the cod catch I* credited with 55 per cent, and tho mackerel ond lobster catches with T5 per cent each. The course of the o\pnrt irade for the last two >ears prior to thc* termination of the Washington treaty shows that of an export of about fgjOOOyOOO worth of flJh In each year the T'nlted State-, took 50 per cent and tho \Vc-*t Indies iii) i>or cont. The deduction from this ls that the natural market for Canadian tish ls tho I'nlted Sjiales. willie tho mack? erel ond fresh fish trade ls almost entirely dependent upon the dilled Slates ns oo export MA This year exporters tic lending this clssss of fish io tho CnlC-d Stoles, and paying the enormous duty because There ls nowhere else to send If. lint tho cod or dried tish ho/< boen driven by tho duty almost entirely ont of the Cnltcd States market. The figures given suffi? ciently indicate th" Importance and value of the fish? ing industry to these l'rovinr.-s, ami as jet lt ls ot,ly In Its Infancy, thc-i-o bein,; conipai atii-ly lillie capital embarked In th- buslnr-s, tho great fish merchant.* leaving tho work of (he eartefa to small fishermen who bring them hera to s.-ll If lt was conducted on tba plan of the (.loin realer roe Khama, tri utting oat large vessels, ti,*, industry might be developed enormously. iiie Attorney-General alia odvaarea tbe opinion that the ess-Hi,. of th- ttehorv question between tho Ctllted stales and Canada ls the trawling privilege* In Canadian puris.

Nor can I refrain from congratulating the Ir> publioan party upon Hie cheering prospects which distinguish the opening of the mit ininti contest of 1888, as com-aired with that of 1884 In 1882 tin- Republican party throughout tlie L'nion nut with a disastrous defeat. Ten Staten that had support*d liiirlield and Anhur in thc election of IMHO were carried by the'Democrats either by majorities or pluralities. The Republican loss In Um Northern electiona compared with the preced? ing Mit ional election BXOeoded half a million vote*, and the electoral votes of the Union, di? vided on the basis of thc result of 1882, gave tc the Democrats over 300 electors out of a total ol 401. There wits a partial reaction in favor ol tin* Republicans iii the elections of 1883, but tin- i?i inocrais still held poaaoosion of seven North? ern Stat.s, lind on the basis of the year's contest could show more than loo majority in the Cleo tomi Colleges of th" whole country. But against thc diacoiiragemeut naturally fol? lowing thc adverse elections of these two years the spirit of the Republican party in thc National content of ISM rose high, and the Bcpnblican ntnaaea entered into tha enmpaign with such energy thut the final result depended on the vote of a single State, und that Slate was carried by thc Pemoeniiic party by u plurality so Miiall that it represented less than one-eleventh of 1 pei cent of the entire vote. Thc cliungc ol a single vote in every two thousand of the. total poll would huve given the State to the Republicans, though, only two years before, the Democratic plurality exeeedsd lu'i.ooo. 'ihe elcctious of 1?8<; and 1687 have denion strated growing strength in thc Republican, ranks. Beldon in our political history has a party, de? feated In a National election, rallied immediately with such rise* as have the Republicans linea 1884. No comparison is possible between thc spirit of tho parly in 1882-3 aud its spirit in 1886-7. The two periods present simply a con? trast?the one of general depression, the other ol enthusiastic revival. Should the party gain In the results of *1888 over those of 1886-7 in any? thing like the proportion of the gain of the yeal 1881 over 1882 3, it would secure one of the most remarkable victories of iU> entire existence. But victory does not depend on so large a ratio of in crease; the party has only to maintain relatively its prestige of 1880-7 to give to its National candi dat* every Northern State but one, with a fal bette! DxtOOpoot of carrying that one than it hm had for thc past six years. Another feature of the political situation shouh inspire Republicans with irresistible strenglh The pit sent National A-iininist ration was eh-ctci with, if not upon, the notated assert ions of it. leading supporters in every protection State ilia ii*.* issue on tlie ta il ff was involved. How-eve eurncstly Republicans urged that question as tin one of controlling importance in the eampnlgn tiny WON nut by tin* Democratic leaders am journals willi persistent evasion, concealment uni denial. Tlmt itmraroa th.* president has fortu nately removed. 'Hie issue which the Bepubli ?cans maintained and the Democrat* avoided ii 1881 has been prominently ami specifically brougb forwnrd by tlie Democratic Preaidenti and cann.. bc hidden Out of sight in 1888. Thc country 1 now in the enjoyment of on industrial gystcii which in a quarter of a century has assure a larger MtJOBOl growth, a imuc rapid accu Ululation and a broader distribution of wealth timi were ever before known ta histiry.

A closer observation of the conditions of life among thc older Nations gives one a more intense destre that the American people si.ali make no mistake in choosing thc policy which inspires lubor with hope and ciowns it with dignity, which gives safety to capital and protects itu increase, which secures political power to every citi/cn. comfort .ind culture to every home. To this end, not less earnestly and more directly, ns a private citizen than as a public candidate, I shall devote myself, with thc confident l>elief that tin* Adminis? tration of thc Government will be restored to the pnrty which has dr mci: struted the purims? and the power to wield it for thc unity and tho honor of the Republic, for the prosperity and pro? gress of thc people, I am very sincerely yours, James G.
