HUB another point. These poor fisher
men, who printed and circulated all these
documents, strongly favor a tonnage tax
on every Canadian car coming into the
United (Stales iu order to make Canada

tonnage tax would only add to the cost of
freight coming to the west and even
Massachusetts lishermi n know that it
don’t make any difference what kind of a
tax is imposed upon tin- wist the pio lo
will still vote as their fathers did.
Oh. it is perfectly clear that Bayard’s
treaty ought not to be ratified at all. It is
v< ry oppressive to our poo • fishermen,who
are alt sitting around Boston hotels, clip
ping excerpts from r< publican party nr
gans in opposition to the treaty, and
compiling and publishing these proofs
that the treaty is a fraud. If any wicked
democratic organ dan s to say this little
job is the work of the fish monopoly let
the organ bo hissed down at once. I’oor
fishermen.
