 Washington, Oct. 2.-Bearing the motto "equal rights to all, special priv ileges to none," on its title page, the democratic congressional Campaign Book was issued to-day. It contains 24S pages, and a vast amount of matter designed to combat the claims and polt- cies of the republican party, while at the same time 1t upholds all the princa- pies for which democracy contends. Tariff, trusts and combines, corruption and scandals, the attitude of democracy towards organized labor the wage question, extravaganza of republican appropriations, and other questions are discussed. lit is asserted that all the panics in this country have occurred under republican auspices, and with the highest protective tariff, and that the present boom will be followed by al panic Is only a question of time"
 Numerous instances of republican tariff changes are quoted, from which the deduction is made that in forty-hve years the republicans have changed or revised the tariff law forty-edgrt times.
 But at last" the book states ''the republicans and their allied friends and providers of fat campaign barrels, the protected monopolists, secured meas ure that has so fostered and fattened the corporations that they are quite willing to stand pat, especially as they have succeeded in defeating the reci- procity treaties, to provide for which the tariff schedules were purposely irl- creased twenty per cent beyond the rates that the protected rnonopoMsts named as sufficient to protect them from competition.
 .l Hence the people are auow burdened with this extra rate plus a revenue and a protective rate-three all told" I In order to show "how the tariff plunders those with limited incomes, the book has this to say: Those whose incomes are stationary and who get mo increase ito correspond with 4saafe saaffee | increase in the cost of living are in :, worse plight than other people. The aged man or widow with a small but 7 fixed income finds nearly one-half of its purchasing power cut off, and them selves unable from age or inf1rmity from working ito increase their incomes. Nothing remains for such unfortunates but the punching economy that comes hard when comfort should be the rule.
 "The graSping trusts and corpora tions are, through the monopoly creat- ed by protectionism,S sucking the life blood of those with limited incomes to the tune of AZ per cent. That is repub- lican usury made legal by the statllte known as the Dingley tariff law" Much space then is given to the slb- ject of corruption and scandals in the republican party, particular reference being made to the allegations of Judge Parker just before the last presidential election, and which were vigorously de- nded by President Roosevelt in a public letter. The life insurance disclosures are cited.
