| Description | Cartoon shows Theodore Roosevelt and Republican House Majority Leader Sereno Payne tightening a knot in a cord "Tariff Law 1897 [paragraph] 209 16 Dutch" around the waist of a man "Cuba" holding a "cane knife." On the right, the cord is cut into money by the head of the American Sugar Refining Company, Henry O. Havemeyer. The money falls into bags labeled "Sugar Trust Profits." On the left, the head of American Crystal Sugar Company, Henry Thomas Oxnard pulls on Roosevelt's coat tails. A sugar beet protrudes from the back of Oxnard. A legend at the bottom provides quotes concernining the Roosevelt administration, sugar growing and refining interests, Congress and Cuban industrialists related to reciprocity, Cuban annexation and trade. |
