Born in Massachusetts to a family of merchants and seamen, Clapp traveled to Paris to translate the socialist writing
This column extends Christmas wishes to the friends of the Saturday Press and the friendless. The Christmas wishes extended exclude those who have attempted to misuse the paper for their own gain and those who are explicity not friends of the paper. After the extension of Christmas wishes, the column goes on to discuss the virtues and hopes of Christmas Day.
This column discusses the absurdity of wishing a Merry Christmas to those who attempted to "bribe" the Saturday Press into promoting them (2).
