MONOPOLY AND TARIFFS, 1888 - The Consumer Consumed
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This thought-provoking American cartoon by W. A. Rogers captures the essence of late 19th-century America, highlighting the detrimental effects of monopolistic practices and government tariff policies on the average consumer. In this powerful image, we witness a scene that symbolizes the struggle faced by everyday Americans as they bear the burden of exorbitant prices. The central figure in this artwork is an ordinary man carrying a basket filled with domestic goods. His face reflects frustration and despair as he stands before an imposing officer representing both monopolies and protectionist tariffs. This visual juxtaposition emphasizes how these two forces work hand in hand to exploit consumers. Rogers skillfully portrays the monopoly's dominance through its towering presence over the beleaguered consumer. Meanwhile, symbols such as trust logos subtly remind us of their control over various industries. The artist's attention to detail extends to every aspect of this piece; even small details like price tags on products emphasize how consumers are forced to pay inflated costs due to limited competition. Through his artistry, Rogers urges viewers to question these unfair practices and recognize their impact on society at large. This timeless message resonates beyond its original context into modern times where discussions surrounding fair trade continue today. In "MONOPOLY AND TARIFFS". Rogers masterfully encapsulates complex economic issues within a single frame, inviting contemplation about power imbalances and advocating for greater fairness
