Sherman Antitrust Act in the context of The Bosses of the Senate

The Bosses of the Senate is an American political cartoon by Joseph Keppler, published in the January 23, 1889, issue of Puck magazine.

The cartoon depicts the United States Senate as a body under the control of "captains of industry". Robber barons representing trusts in various industries, depicted as obese, domineering, and powerful figures with swollen money bags for bodies, with their nature being juxtaposed with that of the senators of the 50th Congress, who Keppler implies are under the industrialists' control. The cartoon discusses with concern the rise of industry in the Gilded Age, the expanding influence of monopolies and trusts, and the role of American lobbying. It is generally recognized as an early antitrust cartoon that played a role in the development of the Sherman Antitrust Act.

Sherman Antitrust Act in the context of Clayton Act of 1914

The Clayton Antitrust Act of 1914 (Pub. L. 63–212, 38 Stat. 730, enacted October 15, 1914, codified at 15 U.S.C. §§ 12–27, 29 U.S.C. §§ 52–53) is a part of United States antitrust law with the goal of adding further substance to the U.S. antitrust law regime; the Clayton Act seeks to prevent anticompetitive practices in their incipiency.

That regime began with the Sherman Antitrust Act of 1890, the first Federal law outlawing practices that were harmful to consumers (monopolies, cartels, and trusts). The Clayton Act specified prohibited conduct, the three-level enforcement scheme, the exemptions, and the remedial measures. Like the Sherman Act, much of the substance of the Clayton Act has been developed and animated by the U.S. courts, particularly the Supreme Court.
