The catching of these fish was a very simple matter, the onlv equipment needed being a hook and line with a piece of white cloth for bait. These fish were a very agree- able addition to our menu. Often we met schools of porpoise. which used to run right alongside of our bow and race with us. They seemed to enioy rushing ahead and returning to race again.

Uncle than haa built the Fordney Tariff directly against Canadian agriculture, and new additional Tariff gmposals are now under consideration to shut out from the United States Canadian goods 0 every kind. These measures are due to the insistence of the American farmer that the United States mar- ket shall be retained exclusively for him and that the influx of Canadian farm products into that country must cease. They are also due to a like insistence of United States manufactu- rers and workers, who have seen their country develop tremendously and grow rich under a Reactive Tariff, and who believe that a still further increase in Tariff is the only means of assuring continued prosperity.
