Populist political cartoons

Free silver man vs. Farmer (Ex-Confederate) Caption: free silver man: “I tell you that plenty of money and high prices make good times.” Farmer: “Is that so partner? I can recollect when coffee was 40$/lb. and boots 200$/pair, and times were about as bad as you can imagine. The more money we got, the worse we were off, for when the prices of products had increased forty to sixty fold, people were denounced for asking 5 or 6 prices for their labor. Oh, no partner, you’ll have to get a better argument than that to make votes for free silver.”

Our Farmer’s Situation Labels: corn (top to bottom): taxes, profit, interest, rent. People (top to bottom): politician, railroad-magnate, money lord, land lord Watering can: free silver
