Taft Urges Treaty and Reciprocity in Midwest Tour
President Taft argued that a reciprocity treaty would shape corn and wheat prices and farm land values, claiming Canadian entry would not lower U.S. prices. He noted U.S. farm shifts toward livestock and warned land values in Manitoba and adjacent provinces would not drag on American land prices. Taft predicted benefits for U.S. mills elevators and railroads if Canadian wheat moves through American markets, while protecting farmers at home. The speech followed Ohio tariff debate with corn growers and came as Taft visited Illinois and Ohio during a cold, partially disrupted schedule.
