| Description | Cartoon shows Uncle Sam as Rip Van Winkle, awakening from his 20-year sleep, staring in surprise at a paper reading "1929, Republicans Split Wide Open over Tariff Revision." At his side, another paper reads "1909, Republicans Split Wide Open over Tariff Revision." Uncle Sam expostulates, "What! Have I Been Dreaming?" The Republican Party traditionally supported high tariffs, but in both 1909 and 1929, progressive Republicans from the farm and western states fought legislation to raise tariffs. |
