QUESTIONS FOR PARKER.

1t is said that Judge Parker is 10
make at least three speeches during tho
closing days Of the campaign-one in
New York, one in New Jersey and one
in Connecticut Every Republican in the
country will rejoice at this decision Of
the Democratic managers, if only Judge
Parker viii discuss the issues of this
campaign and give his hearers the infor-
nation so much desired. There are an
hundred and one questions that he
might reply 10, but there are certainly
at least a half a dozen upon which the
American people particularly desire
light from the Democratic candidate.
IN the first place we would like Judge
Parker 10 tell us if, in case he were
elected and with him house of rep
reseniati,cs, and if in two years time
the United States senate should be-
come Democratic, would the Dinglcy
tariff be repealed aud law like that
of the Walker tariff Of ls4G on the tar
ifr of 1857 or the Wilson German law Of
1894 be put on our statute books in its
place.
We would like Judge Parker 10 tell
The Paducah sun. [volume] (Paducah, Ky.) 1898-1906, 1904-11-05

~. if he will deign to discuss the tariff
question practically and not historical
| ~. whether he indorses aud would sign
-uch Till as the Wilson German law
which Grover Cleveland himself refused
10 sign because it was measure Of
perfdy and dishonorl'
We would like TO ask Judge Parker
10 tell MS why it is that the wheat crop
If 1904 viii be worth fully double the
wheat crop of 1880, although it is but
little greater as regards the number Of
bushels harvested, The judge might &C
"a step further and tell H. why it is that
,he total agricultural crop of this coun'
ry for the present year will be worth
almost Sl.5OO.OOOOOO more than the crop
in the last year Of the administration
# Grover Cleveland under the opera
lion of a free trade tariff law.
We would like Judge Parker TO tel
Ms why the bank clearings Of the coun
try have for the past few years aver
aged about sll5OOO,O00OOO, against an
average OF less than S5OOOO,OOOOOO dur
ing the last Democratic administration
We should like to ask Judge Parker
u. tell us how it is that the price Of
wool today is for Ohio, Pennsylvania
Michigan, Wisconsin and New York
grades from "a to 20 cents a pound
whereas, the same grades in 1896 sold
from II to Is cents per pound, while
incidentallS during the same years We
were importing from abroad because Of
the free wool clause Of our tariff law
over S00,OO0,0OO pounds, all Of which
displaced the product Of the American
wool gToweri
Judge Parker might also tell Us, il h
can, why our excess Of exports during
the past seven years have amounted to
considerably over S3OOO,OOOOOO, in
spite Of the fact that our imports have
increased during the same period by
over S2Jo,OOOoO0 annually. And last OF
an, not to give the candidate too much
work, We would like TO have him ex-
plain to Us, if he can. why it j. that the
deposits in our hanks are at present
over SlO,OOO,O0O,0O0. or double what
they were when William Mckinley sue
cscded Grover Clevelandg
lie may tell rs. if he can, why the
deposits in the savings banks OF the
country have increased by over $1,000
/ 100000 and are today a total of 80,
