“The Farmer Candidate en Route”
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
In this C. S. Reinhart cartoon, appearing just
before the Liberal Republican convention, Horace Greeley rides a pig to the host
city in hopes of a nomination (either presidential or vice-presidential). The
porcine visual-metaphor blends three agrarian references: 1) to the notion of
the editor as a gentleman farmer; 2) to his protectionist stance on the tariff
issue-"Pig Iron" stands for American industry opposed to free trade;
and 3) to Cincinnati's nickname of "Porkopolis," earned through its
leading role in the slaughterhouse and meat-packing business. Like Thomas Nast,
Reinhart pokes fun at Greeley's advice book, What I Know About Farming, by
sticking a similarly titled paper in the candidate's back pocket. In this
cartoon it is a comprehensive, negative jibe: "What I Don't Know." |
