Show telegraphic NEWS washington aug 23 the president sent the following mes message sagle to congress this afternoon to the congress k the rejection by the senate of the treaty negotiated tor for the settlement and adjustment of the differences existing between the united states and great britain concerning the rights and privileges of american am Amu rican fishermen in the ports and amers of british north america seems to justify a survey of the condition to which the pending question is thus remitted the treaty upon the subject concluded in 1818 through disagreements as to the meaning of 01 its terms has been a f fruitful ruita ua source of irritation and trouble our citizens engaged in fishing in the waters adjacent to canada have been subjected to numerous interferences and annoyances their vessels have been seized upon artl pretexts at appeared to have been entirely eat rely inadmissible and they have been otherwise by canadian authorities ties and officials in a manner inexcusably harsh harah and oppressive this cond conduct et oas gas been justified 1 by y great britain and canada by the claim that the treaty of 1818 permitted it and also upon the ground it was necessary to the proper protection of ef canadian interests we deny that treaty agreement justifies I 1 these hese sets acts and further maintain aside from any restraints of disputed interpretation the relative positions of the united states and canada as near neighbors the growth of our joint commerce the development develop merit and prosperity of both countries which amicable relations surely guarantee and above all the liberality always extended by the united stales to the people ot at canada furnish more lines for kindness and consideration and are better than treaty covenants covenant keena keenly 1 sensitive to all that was exasperate exa exasperating og in the condition and by no means indisposed to support the just complaints of 0 our injured tired citizens I 1 still deemed it my duty daty to attempt by negotiations to remedy existing wrongs and finally to eliminate by a fair and just treaty those ever recur rin ring causes of difficulty I 1 fully believe the treaty just rejected by the senate WAS WELL SUITED to the exigency and that its provisions were adequate for our security to in future from vexatious incidents and tor for the promotion of friendly neighborhood and intimacy ev without aitho 1 l t sacrificing dicing in the least our national al pride and dignity it is of importance to note that has been defeated without any appa apparent disposition on th the e part of the senate to amend its provisions and with the evident de design sign that no negotiation should be concluded touching Bg the matter at issue I 1 am by no means disposed to abandon the interests and rigans of our people in the premises or neglect their grievances and therefore turn to the contemplation temp lation of the plan of ret retaliation alia tion as made which still remains of treating the situation I 1 am not unmindful of the gravity of the responsibility assumed in adopting this line of conduct nor do I 1 fail to appreciate its seriousness it will be impossible to injure our canadian neighbors by retaliatory measures without inflicting some damage upon our own citizens the policy of retaliation embraces the infliction of the greatest harm upon those who have injured us with the least possible damage to ourselves and above ill all things the plan of retaliation it entered brit ered upon should be thorough and vigorous these considerations side rations lead me to invoke the aid and counsel of congress and its sup port in such further grant of power as seems necessary and desirable to render effective the policy I 1 have indicated congress has already passed a law providing that in case american fashing vessels be in or visiting on the waters or at any of the ports of the british dominions po minions of bf north america should be or er have been lately deprived of the rights to which they were entitled by law or althey were denied other privileges therein specified the president might deny to the re vessels se 19 and their masters and crews of the british dominions of north america any entrance waters ports or harbors of the united states and also deny entry into any port of place of the united states of any product of said isaid dominions or other goods coming from there to the united states while I 1 shall not hesitate upon proper occasions to ENFORCE THIS AC it would seem necessary to suggest that if the enforcement Is limited in such a manner as shall result in the least possible injury to our own people le in fact it would probably be entirely f ir ay iy inadequate to the accomplishment of these purposes I 1 deem it t my duty therefore to call the attention of 01 congress to certain particulars in the action ol 01 0 the authorities of the dominion of canada in addition to the general allegations already made which appear to be in such marked contrast to the friendly position ot of our country as in my MRY opinion opi bion liton to call for such legis legislation T aaion as will upon the principles already stated properly supplement the tae power to inaugurate the retaliation vested in the executive actuated by the generous spirit which has characterized our legislature our tariff laws have since 1860 been so 0 lar far waived in favor of canada as to allow free of duty the transit across the territory of the united states of the property ar ra riving vang at our ports and destined to canada orsted or exported from canada to other coun countries the president here quotes the article of the treaty of washington between the united states and great britain negotiated in 1871 which he says was largely a modification of the treaty of 1818 in which the privileges referred to were made reciprocal and given by canada to the united states continuing the president says sayar during the last six years the imports and exports experts of the british canadian brov I 1 inces carried across the united states under the privileges granted by our laws amounted in value to about nearly all of which were goods dutiable under our ariff laws by far the lai baiger ger part of this tariff consisted of t exchanges of goods between great geat britain ancher and her american provinces brought to and carried from our own ports in our own vessels th treaty stipulations entered lato into by ou on government would in harmony with tue the laws which were upon our statute books and are still in force iresom I 1 recommend immediate legislation conferring upon apon the executive power to suspend by proclamation the operation of the laws and re regulations gu lations permitting the transit of goods wares and mere merchandise han in bond across or over the territory of the united states to or from canada there need be no hesitation in suspending THOSE LAWS arising f from rom the supposition that their continuation is secured by treaty for it seems quite plain that article 29 of the treaty of 1871 which was the article incorporating such laws terminated july 1 1885 the article itself de dares clares that its provisions shall remain in force for the term of lofv I 1 years mentioned in article 23 of thi streaty turning to article 33 we find no mention of the article but find provision foreign thereto articles 18 to 25 and article 30 1 I am of the hplu opinion that the term of years referred to in article 0 29 9 means the period during which articles IS to 25 inclusive and article 30 commonly called the fishery article shall continue in force in addition to other satisfactory evidence supporting this construction ot of the language in article 29 it will be found that the law passed by congress march 1 18 3 to carry toe the treaty into effect furnishes furnis nes conclusive proof of the correctness ot of this construction after quoting the act of march 1873 the president says here then is a distinct enactment of congress limit the duration of this article of the treaty to the time that articles 18 to 25 inclusive and article should continue in force there appearing to be no 00 conflict or inca inconsistency as stancy between the treaty and the act of CoG congress gress last cato cited d the necessity does not rise to to invoke the well settled principle that in case of such conflict the statutory question whether the law of 1873 construes the treaty or governs it section 29 of such treaty I 1 have no doubt terminated with tae proceedings taken by our government to terminate art articles 18 to 25 inclusive and article 30 ot of the treaty these proceedings had their inception in the joint resolution of congress passed may 3 1883 declaring these articles articled ought to be terminated mina ted and directing the president to give the notice to great britain provided by article 33 ot of the treaty such notice having been given two years prior to ito july 1 the articles mentioned were absolutely terminated on that day but bat the statutes granting to the people of canada valuable aole privileges of transit for their goods which had been passed prior to the making of the treaty of of 1871 and independently of it remained in force and ever since the abolition of the treaty the people of the dominion have enjoyed without limit the advantages of our liberal and generous laws without basing our complaint upon a violation of the treaty it is nevertheless true that such REFUSAL OF TRANSIT I 1 and other injurious acts which have been recited constitute a pro provoking insistence ins istance upon rights neither mitigated by the amenities of national intercourse ter course nor modified by the recognition of our liberality and generosity the history of events connected with this subject makes it manifest that the canadian govera government tient can administer its laws and protect the interests of its people without the manifestation of unfriendliness and without unneighborly treatment of our fishery vessels which we have justly complained of and whatever is done on our part shall be done in the hope that the canadian government mity may relieve us of the occasion to resort to the executive power now sought to be brought about X wish to call the attention of congress to another subject involving such wrongs and unfair treatment to our citizens as in u ray my opinion require prompt action of of the great aslea and the immense tiu business sineas ani and Vrr carrying varying ying trade grow growing ipg out of the SAW same nave have be been an treated broadly and 11 liberally brally ti by the united government an and made free to al mankind while the canadian railroad and navi navigation gatton companies share in our country transportation upon terms as Javo favorable rable as are accorded our oft own citizens the canal elfi and other public works built and maintained alone the line like of the lakes are made ree to all tn in contrast to mis condition and evincing a narrow and ungenerous commercial spirit every lock and canal which is a public work in canada is subject to tolls by the treaty of 1871 a provision was made to secure to the citizens of the untied united states the use of the belland Ve lland st lawrence and other canals in the dominion of canada on terms of equality with the inhabitants of the dominion and yet evidence lids has for sometime been before congress showing that tolls charged on cargoes and destined for canadian ports are near ly lyall all refunded while cargoes bound for american ports are not allowed such advantages 1 recommend that such legislation be had as will give canadian vessels navigating our canals and their cargoes the same advantages granted to our vessels and cargoes upon canadian canals and that the same be measured by exactly the same rule of discrimination these theae are subjects which par should not disturb or confuse let us HS survey the ground calm ly and having put aside other means of settlement if we enter upon the policy of retaliation let us pursue it firmly with a determination to the interests of our people and maintain main taia the high standard and becoming 1 pride of american citizenship signed GROVER CLEVELAND BUFFALO aug 24 deputy marshals of this city caused a sensation in ogdensburg
