The tariff tots
A group of children play on the lawn in front of the “Home for Infant Industries.” They are labeled “Sugar Trust (eating “Dingley Baby Food”), Clothing Trust, Tobacco Trust, Steel Trust, Beef Trust, Paper Trust, [and] Coal Trust.” Some are playing in a rough manner with dolls labeled “Small Dealer, The Public, Independent Producer, [and] Consumer.” Another doll, “Cattle Raiser,” has been tossed aside. In the background on the left, a woman labeled “Dingley Tariff” is sitting in a chair with a child on her lap. In the left foreground, Joseph Cannon is speaking to Theodore Roosevelt, who holds a paper labeled “Tariff Revision.” Caption: Uncle Joe Cannon — Oh, Sir, you would not turn these helpless, half-grown babes out into a cruel world, would you?
