Description
Senator Joseph L. ALdrich yells "Robber!" at Senator Nelson W. Aldrich who sits contentedly in his seat. The man thinks of another way to attack Aldrich, finally yelling "Rubber!" which shocks Aldrich.
Kansas Senator Joseph L. Bristow locks his sights on Rhode Island Senator Nelson W. Aldrich. As the leader of the Republican Party in the Senate and as a representative of the conservative wing of the party, Aldrich was often at odds with progressive Republicans like Bristow. In this cartoon, John T. McCutcheon articulates the debate over the Payne-Aldrich Tariff Act of 1909, which increased tariffs on certain imports like rubber, a commodity in which Aldrich was heavily invested.
