1906 Capitalism Commerce Monopoly Movement Political Acts Progressive Era Rail Road Republican Party Roosevelt Theodore Trust Trust Buster Martial Art


EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage cartoon print from 1906 titled "Jiu-Jitsued" captures a pivotal moment in American history, showcasing President Theodore Roosevelt's relentless fight against monopolies and his dedication to preserving fair commerce. In this cleverly illustrated artwork, Roosevelt is depicted using the ancient martial art of jujitsu to disable the powerful railroad trust. During the Progressive Era, capitalism was flourishing but so were corrupt business practices that threatened competition and hindered economic growth. As a Republican president, Roosevelt took it upon himself to challenge these monopolistic tendencies head-on. He became known as the "trust buster" for his unwavering commitment to breaking up large corporations that held excessive power over industries. The image portrays an intense scene where Roosevelt's physical prowess symbolizes his political acts against the Northern Securities Company, one of the most prominent trusts at that time. This visual representation highlights both his determination and strategic approach in dismantling such entities. Through this artwork, we are reminded of President Theodore Roosevelt's significant contributions towards leveling the playing field for all Americans by promoting healthy competition within commerce. His actions during this era laid down important foundations for future regulations aimed at preventing unfair business practices and ensuring a more equitable society.
