SHOWS STATEMENT ON FOREIGN SOLD GOODS

Washington, Sept. 27.-The first in stallment of the advance proofs of the Democratic Campaign Text Book con- tains as an inclosure a letter from Judge Parker to George F. Parker. Chief of the literary department of the national committee. Mir. Parker re ceiyed this letter from the Democrat ie nominee August Is but makes it pub lie now for the first time.
 The letter, which follows, is in it. self a splendid testimonial to the high sense of honor of the Democratic nom inee, and Republicans and Democrats alike can not fail to respect more highly the New York jurist after read ing it. It furnishes a fine setting for the first installment of the cam paign book The letter follows:
 Rosemount, Eesopus, N. Y,
 August IT. 1904 . My Dear MT. Parker: The Times of this morning says that the party text book is about prepared, and that it will go to the printer in a few days. Therefore I hasten to beg you to see to it that there is no word in it that reflects upon the personal honor and intergity of President Roosevelt.
 An Eevning Post editorial indicates that but little care was taken in that direction toward myself by the com piler of the Republican text book. but let there be no rejoinder Tn kind or otherwise.
 T feel confident that you need no reminder; still, my anxiety impels me to senG this caution.
 Very truly yours.
 ALTON B. PARKER" :"
 The full force of these simple, direct words will be realized onN as it is remembered that those who arranged the Republican Campaing Book devot- ed much space to an uncalled for personal attack upon Judge Parker, impugning, especially his motives in sending the gold telegram" to the St. Louis convention.
 That the sentiment of the letter has been scrupulously complied with goes without saying, and when the complete book has been issued, it will be found to contain nothing that could be construed as reflecting upon the personal honor and integrity of the President.
 The volume was prepared under the direction of committee consist ing of Josiah Quincy. former Mayor of Boston: w. 5. Cowherd and George F. Parker.
 As emphasing the Democratic con tention that the return of the con stitution'' is one of the principal is issues of the campaign the book will have as a sort of preface a full copy of the constitution Of the United States.
 Far more space is devoted to a dis cussion of the tariff and trusts than to any other issue. The first install ment of avance proofs is devoted en- tfrely to this subject It is a con vfacing arraignment os the Republi- can party of a prote ctive tariff and shows in black and white, rom sources that cannot well be question cd. how widespread is the custom or disposiag of manufactured goods abroad at a cheaper rate than at home. The opening paragraph says:
 During the year ending June 90, 1904. the sale of American manufact' ured products to foreigners amount ed 10 s452 .OOO.0 900, of which fully S5 per cent. acOrding to the estimates ol well informed exporters, was sold at cheaper prices than are charged for precisely the same goods when sold 10 Americans. The average prize of these goods in the foreign market is 20 per cent less than, the selling price in the home market. On some goods. such as paints and varnishes
 the differece between the price to foreigners and 70 Americans is only per cent but on agricultural imple' ments. tools, machines and hardware the difference ill the price to the TOT eign and to the American varies from 10 to 50 per cent. On wire cartridges. playing cards and othei things the difference is more than 100 per cent, and on such articles a' wire rope andl boTax that difference exceeds 200 per cent.
 Were there anything else to con demn the Republican policy oi mgr tariff taxes, this one fact ought 10 pt suficient to cause the American peO ,,Ie +o renudiate it, for surely nothlnt fan he more unjust than for the Am erican Government to tax it's own peo nle to the end that American stee rails plows, shoes and other arucies [of nrime necessity must be solo ohcanar to the people of Japan, t.u .one and foreign countries generally tban thev are sold at home to Amer cans. ..,eo,+ in
