Is in juxtaposition with Canada. if there was a shortage of farm labor in that State and there was a surplus of it in the Dominion. laborers would be very apt to find their way across the border and seek employment without being advertised for. It strikes me in that way. Mr. President. I am In sympathy with anything designed to turn the tide of immigration to the agricultural portions of our country. and If I had my way. and it could be done. I would have our immigration laws so changed that a certain proportion of those landing at the ports of Boston. New York. Philadelphia. and our other great seaports should be obligated not to settle in the great cities. but to go to the western fields. where they could secure agricultural employment.
