“Mr. Bryan Has a Good Bugaboo, And He Is Pushing It Along"
|
|
|
|

|

|
|

The imaginary fear (“bugaboo”) being carted out by William Jennings Bryan is imperialism, which is a front (literally here, a straw man) for the Democratic presidential nominee’s supposed actual goal of imposing unlimited coinage of silver on the country. Dressed as a farmer, Bryan pushes a wheelbarrow with a broken, “bunco” (sham) silver dollar on which the Populist Ostrich appears. In an accompanying commentary by Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, “The Results of a Bryan Victory,” the Republican spokesman warned, “free silver is just as real and dangerous now as it was four years ago…” when Bryan first ran for president. |
