in 1879 man named Dingley, who
was at the head of the committee on
ways and means. in Congress, which
makes our tariff laws. put a protec.
tive duty of 35 per cent on toys which
came In from abroad At that time
William Mckinley was President, q
statesman whom our new President
Mr.. Harding, much resembles. Nc.
Kinley was always ready to help
American Industries. From 1899 to
1909 our toy industry increased from
$4.0O0O0O to $S.0OO,O0O "a year in
value Of products. This was due
chiefly to the part which the pro-
tective tariff played in encouraging
American business.
"Still, large quantities of toys
came in from abroad because they
were made so cheaply the sellers
could pay the tariff duty yet under

cratic party passed its low tariff law
It did not make any great reduction
In the tariff on toys, although 1t
adopted some classifications which
were not helpful But the tariff law
signed by President Wilson made
times so hard just before the war
that the toy industry suffered with
the rest. However, the war came
along, war prosperity hit this coun-
try. and toys from Germany were
held up by the British blockade. al
though the Japanese imports in
creased. D.? ?
Now ?just ?consider what Ameri-
can enterprise has accomplished
while being permitted to develop un-
hindered by foreign competition in
toys. Harry C. Ives, president of the
toy manufacturers of the United
States. said recently that the Ameri-
can production of toys for 1920 will
reach ss0.0OO.O00 in value. That is
ten times the value in 1909. Our toy
makers this year will have produced
$15.0OO.0OO worth of dolls-everything
from the rag doll to mechanical wax
babies that can almost do Arithme.
tic Among the $65.OOO.OOO worth OF
other toys are playthings OF all kinds
