Description
English: Bosses of the Senate, published in Puck on January 23, 1889, illustrates the overwhelming influence of monopolists over the U.S. Senate during the Gilded Age. The cartoon depicts powerful businessmen towering over senators, symbolizing corporate dominance in politics. The accompanying sign reads, “This is the Senate of the Monopolists by the Monopolists for the Monopolists,” emphasizing corruption and the legal system’s failure to hold wealthy elites accountable.
