Title
More Business in Government.
Description
The cartoon depicts two men facing each other. The man on the left is disheveled, with wide eyes and holding a document titled "PUBLIC DEMAND FOR REDUCED FOOD PRICES." He is labeled "G.O.P. SENATE," suggesting he represents the Republican faction of the Senate concerned with public demands. The man on the right, looking dismissive with a cigar in his mouth and a cane in hand, responds with "FURGIT IT!" He carries multiple signs on his back, reading "LOCAL BUSINESS LOBBY" and a list including "PRODUCERS, WHOLESALERS, RETAILERS, &C.," indicating his allegiance to business interests over public concerns. The cartoon is titled "More Business in Government."
