John Bull crouches as a bulldog labeled “England” on a narrow bridge spanning a river. He has a large bone labeled “Free Trade” in his mouth and is looking over the side. In his reflection in the water, the bone is labeled “Protection.”
Cartoonist Pughe, in this cover cartoon, encapsulates the issues surrounding the Free Trade debate in Great Britain. The country was considering a radical adjustment to its policy of international trade, the resolution of which would have great consequences for the United States and the rest of the world. As far as spheres of influence and commerce, “the sun never set” on the Empire when trade was concerned.
Theodore Roosevelt feels that the flooding from the Mississippi River must be dealt with by the nation as a whole and by all the states that share its watershed. Roosevelt writes that had recommendations from the Inland Watershed Commission been followed damage would have been averted. If elected president, Roosevelt will commence a comprehensive study of the Mississippi River focused on the River’s economical and ecological usefulness, impacting transportation, housing, food production, and emigration. Roosevelt supports conservation policies and the 14-Foot Waterway Board of Army Engineers plan to construct an efficient, extensive canal and levee system.
