President. that when this Canadian trade pact was put through these men began to write letters. One sturdy old farmer in one of the northern counties in my State wrote me and said. "Who got up this trade pact? Was it an Immigration society out in western Canada?" It seems to me it must have been. because there is one thing dead sure. It will promote emigration into western Canada. It will increase the price of lands in western Canada and it will depress the value of my land and the lands of these pioneers out on the South Dakota prairies. and I do not think it is fair to the men who have opened up this Commonwealth and toiled and sacrificed and made it a success to now depress their values and establish an immigration bureau for western Canada. Oh. the Senator from South Carolina made a most stanch and patriotic defense of our great Republican President the other day by saying this was the finest act he ever did. I admire the President and am very fond of him. and I think this is the only real mistake he has made.
