GOMPERS FOR A LABOR PARTY
Neither Of the Old Parties Will Do
Evolution, Not Revolution.

Indianapolis. Feb. "a constructive.
progressive. radical labor party must soon
enter the field Of politics against the Repub-
lican and the Democratic parties" said
Samuel Gompers, president of the American
Federation of Labor. In speech to-day to
members Of the Indiana Legislature
The Republican party, II It remain as
II Is now, will represent the power of
wealth. continued Mr.. Gompers, "and the
Democratic party will compete with 1t for
the same leadership unless the Democrats
turn 10 the people 10 lead them out Of
bondage. There must be a change. Dis
content must find expression In broader
and more humane party than either OF the
old parties as they stand at this time.
The middle class, the business man and
the humble toilers are willing to fight to
come into their own, but we believe I'm cvo-

IL was the low prices Of farm products

consequently a scarcity arose which caused
the high prices 10 follow, and the same

that to take mp the matter of the reforms

At the same time the insurrection is
probably not so serious at present as TO
