| Description | Cartoon shows Republican House Majority Leader Sereno Payne, the head of the American Sugar Refining Company, Henry O. Havemeyer, and a Republican elephant in the top of a tree labeled "Sugar Trust." The roots of the tree are labeled "Dutch Standard," "Cartel," and "Bounty." Below the tree stands John Thayer holding a Democratic donkey wearing blinders and wearing a blanket labeled "Resolution March 11th, April 26th." A long rein extends from the donkey to the other side of the tree where Republican Senator Henry Moore Teller holds the end of the rein. Cartoon refers to a congressional resolution introduced by Democrat John Thayer to leverage divisions in the Republican party. The resolution called for an investigation into whether the sugar trust would be the primary beneficiary of Cuban reciprocity. |
