Title	William Howard Taft Tariff Policy Cartoons
Subject	Presidents and Politics Literary Ohio Presidents Taft, William H. (William Howard), 1857-1930 Commerce Political cartoons
Place	Cincinnati (Ohio) Hamilton County (Ohio) New York (New York)
Description	Two cartoons published in the satirical magazine Judge refer to President William Howard Taft's support of protective tariffs and a reduction of free trade. In the first cartoon, a happy farmer shows the impact the tariffs might have on the agricultural market. Republican leaders believed the prosperity of the 1890s was a result of strong tariffs on imported goods and hoped that with the election of Taft as president, tariffs would be strengthened and prosperity would return, giving every American a "full dinner pail" the basis of the second cartoon. The cartoons are one page each and measure 13" x 9.5" (33.02 x 24.13 cm). William Howard Taft (1857-1930), the twenty-seventh president of the United States, accepted his party's nomination for the presidency from the front lawn of his half-brother's home, now the Taft Museum of Art. Prior to that time, William Howard was a lawyer in his native Cincinnati and in 1904 had been appointed secretary of war by President Theodore Roosevelt. Following his presidency, Taft become chief justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, the only president to achieve this distinction. James Albert Wales (1852-1886) was born in Clyde, Ohio. He worked as a wood engraver and cartoonist in Toledo and Cleveland before moving to New York to work for Frank Leslie's Illustrated Newspaper and Puck. Wales was a founder of Judge, a satirical magazine that competed with Puck and eventually exceeded it in popularity. Judge, published between the early 1880s to the late 1930s, used black-and-white as well as color cartoons to comment on national events. Wales died of a heart attack at the age of 35 and was buried near his home in Clyde.
