Tariff clash drives farmers to Canada says US reporter
Thomas C. Shotwell argues in New York dated March 20 that the Taft tariff fight with Canada prompts large migration of American farmers to the Canadian northwest. Estimates range 150,000 to 250,000 in 1910 with skilled U S farmers displaced by European and city workers. He warns the tariff war could worsen food supply and notes Canada gains in agriculture with cattle prices higher at home and meat cheaper in Canada. The piece calls for removal of tariffs on cattle and wheat to avert a bilateral crisis.
