EDITORS COMMENTS
This illustration, published in Puck magazine on July 9, 1902, portrays an effective battering ram being wielded by two determined men, labeled as Labor and Commerce. The battering ram, emblazoned with the words "Tariff Reform," is poised to break down a formidable door in a fortified building. The structure flies a banner proclaiming "High Protection," signifying the protective tariffs that shielded American industries from foreign competition. Peering over the wall in fear is a man labeled "Protected Trust," adorned in a crown, symbolizing the monopolistic trusts that had long dominated various industries in the United States. The scene represents the growing call for tariff reform as a means to challenge the power of these trusts and promote fair competition. The illustration reflects the intense political debates and economic tensions of the time, as the country grappled with the consequences of industrialization and the role of government in regulating business practices. The image serves as a visual reminder of the ongoing struggle between labor, commerce, and the protected trusts, with tariff reform emerging as a potential solution to restore balance and promote economic growth.
