THE ISUERY AWARD. How the British Claim for Compensa- tion Was Made Up. A MONSTROUS BILL.| Equities of the United States’ Counter Claim for an Offset, ere, NO VALUABLE PRIVILEGE GAINED, sieerontndiectabesertiest Newport, R. L., Oct. 19, 1878, The anvouncement in December last of the award of the Fishery Commission was received with genuine universal surprise throughout the United States, Many no doubt then first learned that a commission bad been sitting at Haltfox having the subject under consideration; others were aware that somo points le(t undetermined by the Treaty of Washington 01 1871 had, os stipulated by that treaty, been referred to arbitration, but had no idea of their possible ma; bitude; while even the best informed, including the Very negotiators of the Treaty of 1871, and those Most nearly connected with ihe commission itself, were, 1t seems, wholly uoprepared for the resuli—an award of $5,500,000 against the United State White the public prints teemed with denuneiations Ot the chief arbitrator and virtual umpire, and of the fact and manner of bis selection, 1 was astonishing how little curiosity they «xpressed to learn the Brounds upon which a decision so unexpected was based and how little wus said to sutisiy the curiosity the public might naturally fecl on the subject. Nor was the mystery auy better understood when Mr. Blaine in two speeches during the winter communt- sated to the Senate statistics showing the very stignt adtaal yield to the United states of the Canadian in- slioré fisheries of late years, and on the other hand exhibited the loss imcurred by the United States through the relivquishment under the treaty of the daties hitherto accruing from imports of fish and fish oi trom Canada, and the correspending gatn to’ Cana- diana, Not even did theadmirabie letter of Mr. Evurts, of May 16, 1878, transmitted by the President to Cons £ress the following day—while snowing many reasons wby suen an award should not have been made—at ail make apparent by what process it had been urrived . But the letter alladed to aocumonts transmitted with it, and these, 11 might be hoped, would at last turnish some light. These documcots were so voluminous that it was aot untifebe middie of July that their printing could | be completed, and tnat they were issued as Ex. Doo., No. 89, of the Houee ot Representatives. They form altogether three ponderous octavo volumes of over one thousand pages each, or 3,495 pages in all, They consist of the “case” of Great Britain, the “answer” of tho United States and the “reply” of Great Britaiv, ot a great mass of oral testimony taken before tbe commission, of affidavits, exhibits and other evidence offered on either side, of the argu. ments of counsel, and then a momentous half-page, whereupon, without a word of antecedent oxpianation or calculation, are inscribed, over tho signatures of two of the Commissioners, **$5,500,000 in gold to be paid by the government of the Unitea States to the government of Her Britanoie Majesty,” and over the signature of the remaining Commuisioner Is lascribed, Joss tnad nothing to be paid by the same to the sone, Let us seo, now that all is before us which wae be- fore the Commission, whether we can at all fill up . Batisfactorily to ourselves tuis hiatus between the slosed case und the finding, and whether we confirm the award arrived at by a msjority of the Commis’ bioners. THE DeiTisN CASE, And first we vurn to tha ‘case of Great Britain ‘Tors is the statement ot her claim by herself. As eveh it must embrace all thafsve intends to demand or expects 10 prove, And, indeed, no exception, it would seew, coula bo made to it by reason ot tosuificiency, Whether we consider the va, riety of she grounds of claim stated or the amount finally set up it most be admitted that Grea Britain bag not failed to do herself fuil justice, We shall reverse the ordor followed by the cuse, and state first, as the most interesting item, the amount claimea, This is, in respect te the Domin- Jon of Canada,’ $12,000,000; "in respect to Newfound- , 830,000, oF a gross total of $14,830,000 18 what Greut Britain claims “over and above the value of avy advantages cooterred on Uritisn subleets under the Fishery articles of the Treaty of Washington.”’ grounds of elaim cover thirty pages. The gist or Kt 48 summarized in the following sentence (p 96):—“'1t bas been stated in Lhe previons portions of this ehapter that an averege number of at leust one thousend United States vessels annualy frequent Britiet Canadina waters, ibe gross catch of each vossel per trip has been estimated at $5,600, a con- siderabie portion of which ja net profit resulting from the privileges conferred by te treaty.” From a statement turther on im the case of Nowfoundiand (page 108) it appears tuat the net proiit is reckoued at twenty per cent, which would give $1,120 as the net profit of each vessel. Now, alinough Great Britain does not state what proportion of this alleged net profit she would think it proper to charge forthe privilege of fisning 10 her waters, 1 18 clear that it could not be the whore of it, For if the whole of the net profit of the operation wei the bare priviles ut? Lt is potGreat inve: wages of the crew, or the running expenses, or the wear and tear, oF ihe interest vb the outlay, nor does she incur, What is, perhaps, more than ail, ty risk of the loss of ail tnese, Nor doos Great B even deliver ur guarantee to tne fi quantity of fish; al! that she supplies is the privilege Of caicuiog, if Le cap, some fsh within a certain luwtt. «Now, what proportion of tho profits should Great Britain receive in view of whaushe furnishes, and ot ‘What (he otner party farnishes? Looking at it as 4 Commerciai transaciion, What proportion could the tyeattord to pay her? Would aay Briaish o imercuiant undertake tog to pay for ion, in view of bis outlay aud his ‘oone-lourth part oi the net profiie, risks, a as above ealouss ter Bui let us assume that Great Britatn shall recety One-lourth part of the net profits at her own cal lve of them. ‘Ibis would be $280 per vessel, That tuts «um 16 far beyond the estimate placed by Great Britaia berselt upon the privilege is shown by the fact that, Whena few years sivce that government adopted the system of issaing leenses to American hermen, the prices ixed by i for these heouses as follows:—lo the frst year (1966) the licease euts per ton. The average tonnage ot AS Appoars by the official British es issued (pp), 19 coed sixty tous. Thus the pr: bersell tur the priv: f stion that year w dsoa fifty .
