Mr. WM. ROSS (Victoria).
In the present tariff the duties are either specific or ad valorem, and one clerk will do more business for a wholesale house to-day than three could do under the old tariff, because there are not so many different calculations. That is admitted by all men in the wholesale trade.

Mr. WM. ROSS (Victoria).
I would call the hon. gentleman's (Mr. Daniel's) attention to the fact that it is twelve o'clock.
Mr. DANIEL-and whether it is the intention of the department to carry out the lawr. Because I am sure that notwithstanding the fact that the minister remitted the fines and penalties and, in so doing, stated that he thought the people were really trying to comply bona fide with the law, the evidence shows that these people were using trap-nets which is entirely opposed to the Fisheries Act.

Mr. WM. ROSS (Victoria).
Every word is true.
Mr. HE YD-it would not do the assessment policy-holders any good. This $228.000 is under the control of our government for the benefit of the Canadian policy-holders and it cannot be touched by any English judges who may pass judgment.
