ent Time.
insurgents Never Satisfied and Any
Trail OF Their Work Left Be-
hind, Leads to the
Pie Counter.

PITTSBURG, Pa. April 2s. Ex-Sen-
ator Lafe Young OF Iowa in his adj
dress before the Americus club last
evening said that congress has no
business to be in extra session at the
present time and that it is blocking
the game. He said.
Congress has no business to be in
session. The country has no demand
for either congress or Canadian reci-
procity. Congress should adjourn at
once and give the country breath
ing spell The farmer wants a chance.
The banker wants chance. The
manufacturer wants chance. Con-
gress is blocking the game.
The present situation is due to the
! insurgents, who, having nothing else
| to clamor about, continued to clamor
about lower tariff duties, after the
new tariff had been made. The politi-
clans must have something to talk
about The insurgents were ambitious
to advance themselves and control the
republican party So, they kept on
L
clamored for lower tariff duties and
the new tariff made vast reductions.
i None of these things satisfied them
They did not intend to be satisfied
They were ambitious to supplant old
leaders and become leaders them
selves. The country owes nothing te
4 the insurgents, They have reduced no
, bodys' taxes. They have cut down no
\ body's freight charges. The insurgents
may have left trail of their work
but if they have, it is toward the pie
counter. The present situation is due
to the agitators, the insurgents anf
the newspapers The country needs ;

When the farmers of the Missisa pl

ballots will they deny it to everybod

once for all, whether protection is
