"The Only Presidential Syrup-Fountain"
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This cartoon satirizes Senator John Sherman for allegedly flip-flopping on major defense and domestic issues. Pictured as a soda jerk, Sherman’s syrups are a menu of policy opposites—sectional reconciliation and animosity, war and peace, labor and capital, etc.—“the greatest variety in the country” from the same man. The emblem above the soda fountain shows him as the two-faced Roman god, Janus, blowing “hot and cold” air, a slang phrase for changing opinions frequently. In the scene on the soda fountain’s front, the artist attributes Sherman’s contradictory positions to the senator’s bid for the White House in 1888. |
