Few 1888 campaign images tied a ticket so closely to one issue, and this print presents Grover Cleveland and Allen G. Thurman as the standard-bearers of tariff reform. Cleveland had made lowering federal import duties the centerpiece of his December 1887 message to Congress, arguing that high rates produced surplus revenue and burdened consumers. The print's September 1888 date places it weeks before the November election, when protective tariffs divided the two parties. The shelflist card names S. Nagle and J. Hertgen, but that attribution is unverified.
