 Washington, Aug. 3.-The republican text book for the campaign of 1902 has been issued by the republican congress sional committee. The book, which is in pamphlet form. containing 3SO pages, makes liberal quotations from the | speeches of both Mckinley and Roose- Welt and also extracts from their mes- sages to congress in support of republi- can doctrines. The book reviews the record of the republican party from its beginning to the present tlme Under the heading Protection and Prosperity eighty-one pages are de- voted to advocacy of protection. Twenty pages are devoted to the trusts and in opening the discussion the book thus describes the attitude of tie two parties:
 The attitude of the two great parties on the trust question is clearly defined That of the democratic party looks to constant agitation, with no restrictive legislation; that of the republican party to such restriction as well prevent arbi- trary advance in prices or reduction in wages through exclusive control, but not the destruction by legislation or in- jury by fictitious agitation of legitimate enterprise, through great manufactur- ing systems by which production is cheapened; prices of manufactures re- duced and permanency of employment assured"
 Following this is the record of the republican party on the trust question, mention of the Sherman antitrust law; McKinley's recommendation, proposed legislation by the republicans and a quotation from President Roosevelt's message to the Fifty-seventh congress, which Is described as conservative but fearless" The assertion Is made that the share of the trusts in business is comparatively small. The book says:
 'The trusts have not occupied as great place in the manufacturing in- dustries as they have in public discus sion." Further along it is asserted:
 The republican administrations of President Mckinley and President Roosevelt have made good record in their efforts to execute the anti-trust law. There has been no shirking of duty because of the power of the finan- cial influence behind the trusts. There has been no hesitation for fear the law would not prove effective. These two republican presidents have recognized no man or corporation as above the law"
 The assertion also is made that Free trade England is the home of trusts"
