A huge figure labeled “Tariff for Trusts,” wearing a quilted cape labeled with products and percentages and holding papers labeled “Concessions,” sits between the Senate and House chambers. Garret A. Hobart sits on the left and Thomas B. Reed sits on the right. Nelson Dingley and William B. Allison, holding enormous pincers labeled “Ways and Means Committee” and “Finance Committee” with a crown labeled “Sherman’s Bluff Anti-Trust Law of 1890” in the jaws, are placing the crown on the head of the devilish figure at center.
