American Tights and the Fishing Rights Debate in Congress
The debate centers on Canadian discrimination against American commerce, the desire to retaliate under the Mills bill, and the need to defend American fishing interests. Speakers argue for firm action to protect fisheries, ships, and national honor, while praising President Cleveland's stance and warning against war. The discussion references Article 27 and 29, past retaliation acts, and the role of England and Canada in shaping U.S. policy.
