Special privilege / J.S. Pughe., Political Cartoon

Illustration shows an old woman labeled "Monopoly Tariff" sitting next to an old shoe labeled "Special Privilege", around which a number of children are playing; they all represent a "Trust" and are labeled "Tool, Steel, Copper, Lumber, Sugar, Rubber, Beef, Coal, Tobacco, Clothing, Watch, Leather, Paper, [and] Linen".

Caption: There was an old woman who lived in a shoe, / Whose progeny here are presented by Pughe. / She petted and pampered and coddled the brats, / And guarded her brood from the bad Democrats.
Illus. in: Puck, v. 63, no. 1621 (1908 March 25), centerfold.
