The Old Enemy at His Old Tricks: A 1901 Political Showdown over the Nicaragua Canal Treaty This thought-provoking political cartoon, published in Puck magazine on January 9, 1901, captures the intrigue and power struggles surrounding the proposed Nicaragua Canal Treaty. The illustration depicts a towering figure representing the transcontinental railroad freight shipping interests, with a sinister grin and a web of strings attached to various members of the United States Senate. The caption reads, "The Old Enemy at His Old Tricks." At the turn of the 20th century, the idea of constructing a canal through Nicaragua to connect the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans was not a new one. However, the prospect of a canal threatened the dominance of transcontinental railroads as the primary means of transporting goods across the country. In response, railroad interests turned to political maneuvering to stall the treaty's progress. This cartoon highlights the political machinations behind the scenes, with the railroad baron pulling the strings of senators to delay the treaty's passage. The image underscores the power of money and influence in American politics, as well as the lengths to which special interests would go to protect their economic interests. The Nicaragua Canal Treaty would eventually be signed in 1903, but not without significant challenges and delays. This political cartoon serves as a reminder of the complex and often contentious relationship between business interests, politics, and international diplomacy in American history.
