Summary
Cartoon shows the Democratic donkey and a goat with one horn (Berryman's symbol for insurgent members of either party) huddling in the rain under a large umbrella missing several sections. In 1939, the Congress began work on a new tariff bill designed to help the ailing agricultural interests, but the Republican majority soon added additional measures designed to help industry as well. Senator William Borah of Idaho led insurgent Republicans and Democrats (led by House Minority Leader Joseph Robinson) in proposing an amendment that would have limited the new tariff measures to agricultural products, but the amendment was defeated. The bill, finally passed in 1930 as the Hawley-Smoot Act, did little to help agriculture, but raised other tariffs to an all-time high.
