Back from Bololand - President Taft's Plea for Protectionism, 1905
EDITORS COMMENTS
This illustration from 1905 depicts President William Howard Taft in an unconventional setting, addressing a group of diminutive figures at a railroad station. Dressed in a stars and stripes turban and adorned with a large bolo knife labeled "The Big Bolo," Taft exudes confidence and authority. A notice attached to his person reads "For Stand Patters," a reference to his protectionist economic policies. In the background, a ship's boarding ramp is visible on the left, while two entrances to the railroad station platform dominate the right side of the image. One entrance is labeled "To Washington Direct" and the other is labeled "Philippine Free Trade" and "Stand Pat." Taft urges the crowd to choose the correct train, emphasizing the importance of entering through the "Stand Pat" gate. The Philippine Islands, a U.S. territory at the time, were a significant focus of the economic debates during Taft's presidency. The Free Trade and Stand Pat factions represented opposing views on the extent of protectionist tariffs to be imposed on imported goods from the Philippines. Taft, a proponent of protectionism, sought to shield American industries from foreign competition. This illustration, created on September 27, 1905, is a visual representation of the political climate during Taft's presidency and the economic debates surrounding U.S. trade policies with the Philippines. The image's playful yet thought-provoking composition effectively conveys the importance of making informed decisions and the potential consequences of choosing the wrong path.
