1. Title: "Where Both Platforms Agree: No Vote - No Use to Either Party" - A Striking 1880 Political Cartoon depicting James Garfield and Winfield S. Hancock's Unity against Chinese Immigration This powerful political cartoon, published in Puck magazine on July 14, 1880, captures the intense anti-Chinese sentiment that dominated American politics during this period. Entitled "Where Both Platforms Agree: No Vote - No Use to Either Party," the image shows Republican nominee James A. Garfield and Democratic nominee Winfield S. Hancock in a rare moment of agreement, as they nail a Chinese man between two anti-Chinese boards labeled "Republican Plank" and "Democratic Plank." The cartoon reflects the intense debates surrounding Chinese immigration and labor competition during the late 19th century. Both major political parties had adopted anti-Chinese platforms in their 1880 presidential campaigns, with Garfield and Hancock vying for the support of working-class voters who feared the economic impact of Chinese labor. The visual metaphor of nailing the Chinese man between the two party planks underscores the idea that, on this issue, there was no meaningful difference between the two parties. The cartoon's title further emphasizes this point, highlighting the shared commitment of both parties to exclude Chinese immigrants from the United States. This evocative image offers a fascinating glimpse into the political climate of the time, revealing the deep-seated prejudices and anxieties that shaped American political discourse during the late 19th century. It is a poignant reminder of the complex and often contentious role that immigration has played in shaping the nation's history and identity. By Rights Managed from Mary Evans Prints Online.
