she said:

Some of the Santa Claus economies
which should materialiZe this year
will mean quite a bit of Sanity. First
of all, the democratic tariff trainers
kept Christmas trees-evergreen seed
lings-on the free list. They also
showed their good intentions by cut
ting in twain the import duties on
candy. Although only 100000 worth
of foreign made candy is expected TO
be imported next year, to compete
with the s134,S00,000 worth manu-
featured in this country, democrats
hope in time that the amount will in
crease and prices therefore go down
much to the JOY of all sweet-toothed
people,
There is one sad blow for the kid
dies in the new tariff. 1t was the re-
fusal of the democrats to reduce the
| import duty on foreign toys. doll
heads. marbles and other similar toys
executing those of china and earthen-
ware on which the duty was reduced
so little, that it probably won't make
very much difference. Last year Am
orleans bought $7.SS1,00O worth OF
foreign toys on which they paid du'
of s9,75S,0OO.
Christmas cards ought to be quite
a bit cheaper if you buy them by the
pound for they have been reduced
from five to ten cents pound. Christ
mas fruits also ought to be cheape
this Christmas. They seem certain to
cost less next year. Oranges ought tc
