EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in American history when the renowned economist Henry George faced fierce opposition. Depicted as a patent medicine quack, George is under attack in this American cartoon. Alongside him stands Edward McGlynn, a Roman Catholic priest and strong supporter of George's ideas. However, what lies behind the scenes is equally intriguing - Thomas C. Platt, the Republican political boss of New York, driving the wagon that symbolizes corruption and deceit. The image portrays the complex web of power and influence during this time period. It highlights how political figures like Platt manipulated public opinion to maintain their control over society. The inclusion of McGlynn suggests that even religious institutions were not immune to such manipulations. Furthermore, by portraying George as a fraudulent vendor peddling fake remedies on the streets of New York City, this cartoon attempts to discredit his economic theories and undermine his credibility. Overall, this print serves as a reminder of the intense debates surrounding economic policies in late 19th-century America. It sheds light on both the challenges faced by reformers like Henry George and the lengths some individuals went to protect their own interests at any cost.
