A Rash Critic on the Fisheries Treaty
Charles Levi Woopsury attacks the fisheries treaty claiming it will wreck the American fishery and naval power. The reply outlines treaty protections for fishermen, including exemptions from harbor and pilotage dues, extended reporting, broader rights under 1818, lighter penalties for illegal fishing, and stronger seizure procedures.
