THE TARIFF AND
SANTA CLAUSE.
The Thirty-Five Per Cent Duty
On Toys Makes The Old
Fellow Wiggle.

Kansas City Star.
This is the time of year when faith
er begins to figure how much he can
add to mothers weekly allowance
without cutting out his car fare and
down town luncheons. Everything
costs so much more than it did a year
ago or five or ten years ago and
there's the tariff-didn't know the
tariff hit you right in the pocketbook,
did you? Toys, IS per cent ad valo-
rem! Think Of II. That's why you
get a stitch in the side when you ask
the price Of toys worth having-35
cents on every dollars worth Of fun
for the children-and they all have to
be imported II you want real Santa
CLAUSE goods, for somehow or other
no one has cotton around to making
toys in this country as they're made
in Nuremburg and other places in
Europe.
So you 90 on paying IS cents extra
in every dollar you spend because
you and thousands Of other careless
Americans voted for men who believe
in building up protection for some
thing that doesn't exist over here.
You figure and figure and finally you
decide that John and Will and Jane
and the others will have to reduce
their lists this year. You didn't
know it perhaps, but it's the tariff on
toys that has been making the prices
all these years and will continue to
make them until men learn how to
vote.
When the new tariff law was
framed il contained some remarkable
paragraphs about toys. If some one
hadn't read it carefully the duty on
make believe watches and horses and
mules and sheep and all those things
would have been so high there'd
have been no Christmas in 1910.
They were going to tax such toys ac-
cording to the value of the articles or
Of the animals they represented and
that would have put Santa Claus out
of business. But luckily some kind
eyes saw the joker-It wasn't Mr..
Payne or Mr.. Aldrich, hardly-and
the duty was restored to IS per cent.
They put asafetida and balm of Gilead
and bristles and acorns and dragons
blood and a lot Of other things on the
the free list, fish skins and fossils
and silk worm eggs-things no boy
or girl can play with, but they left
the IS per cent duty on toys. And
there it is.

IN POLITICS AS A YOUTH
MIR. Cleveland Used to "Stick
Around" at the Polls Before
He Could Vote.

From George +. Psrher's now back. "Recol-
lsstioas Of Grover Cleveland"
Early in my acquaintance with him,
Mr.. Cleveland began to talk freely
about his party affiliations. Only a
few years before his death, in an ar
ticle published during presidential
campaign, he explained these pretty
fully, so far as principle and person
atty entered into account. He talked
very often, and with great freedom,
about the old fashioned methods OF
politics. These were explained by
him substantially as follows:
Before l reached my majority |
had begun work in the capacity OF
what would now be called a practical
politician. Ihad no aspirations to be
a boss, even if either the word or the
thing had then been known, but ]
only followed the custom OF my time
IN taking my place at the poAs and
distributing ballots to all those who
asked for them, using my influence
to convince the wavering, or to con-
firm those who belonged to my
household Of faith. As the result OF
this form Of activity, | began as a boy
tie work Of distributing ballots,
sanding alongside the veterans Of
ny party. From 1858 until my cleo
Hon as mayor in 1857 ! went to the
polls, took my place, ballots in hand,
= / voluntary helper to my party
M its candidates. "
He would explain, with interest,
how, in those days, nobody knew
anything about hiring men to do such
xoxk, because II was both unneces'
ny ana beyond the thought in poll

Alone in Sawmill at Midnight

unmindful of dampness, drafts,
storms or cold, W. j. Atkins worked
as nightwatchman; at Banner Springs,
Tenn. Such exposure gave him a
severe cold that settled on his lungs.
At last he had to give up work. He
tried many remedies but all failed till
he used DR.. Kings New Discovery.
"After using one bottle" he writes, II
went back to work a swell as ever. +"
Severe colds, stubborn coughs, in
famed threats and sore lungs, hemor-
rhages, Group and whooping cough
