EDITORS COMMENTS
This illustration, published in Puck magazine on October 5, 1910, portrays a dramatic scene at the ancient city of Jericho. The walls of Jericho, symbolizing the entrenched Graft Tariff and Standpat Republicanism, are under siege as supporters of the Square Tariff Deal, led by Senators Folk, Clark, Gore, Harmon, and Beveridge, march towards the city. Armed with ram-horns labeled "The Voice of the People," they blow fiercely, causing the walls to crumble. Joining the march are prominent political figures such as Senators Bacon, Borah, Bristow, Clapp, Dolliver, La Follette, and Wilson, and Representative Cummins, all rallying behind the call for tariff reform. The illustration masterfully captures the spirit of the movement, as the people's voices combine to bring down the barriers that have long hindered progress. This powerful image, created by an unknown artist for Puck magazine, serves as a testament to the determination and resolve of the political figures who fought for change during this era. It also highlights the symbolic nature of the Jericho metaphor, which has been used throughout history to represent the overthrow of established structures in the face of popular will.
