| Description | Cartoon shows James E. Watson, Senate Majority Leader, accompanied by the GOP elephant and Joseph T. Robinson, Senate Minority Leader, accompanied by the Democratic donkey, squaring off against each other. A goat with one horn (the symbol used by Berryman to represent third parties or insurgent members of either party) watches. The Kellogg-Briand Peace Pact, referred to in the caption, was an agreement signed by fifteen nations in 1928 in which they agreed to renounce war as "an instrument of national policy." In 1929, the Republicans introduced a bill to raise tariffs. Most Democrats (and a few dissident Republicans) fiercely opposed the measure, but the bill, which raised tariffs to an all-time high, finally became law as the Hawley-Smoot Act in 1930. |
