EDITORS COMMENTS
This illustration, titled "Nothing left but a statue," depicts a troubling scene from June 30, 1909. A troop of soldiers dressed in red coats, each labeled with monikers such as Clothing Trust, Franchise Grabber, Food Trust, and Land Trust, march past Daniel Chester French's renowned sculpture, "The Minute Man." Among the soldiers, some notable figures stand out: Nelson W. Aldrich, wearing a miter and carrying a flag bearing an emblem of a crowned hand pointing a thumb-down in a squashing gesture; John Dalzell, James S. Sherman, and Sereno E. Payne; and Joseph G. Cannon, who is seen kissing the boot of a fat officer labeled "Privilege," who rides on a horse in the background. The ominous atmosphere is further emphasized by the chaos in the background, where more red coats are ransacking "The American Home" and tearing down the American flag. This powerful image serves as a visual representation of the growing concern over the influence of monopolies and political corruption during this era, and the potential threat they posed to the American people and their democracy.
