EDITORS COMMENTS
The caption for this print titled "Cures All the Ills of Man or Beast" by Rollin Kirby is a powerful commentary on the political landscape of 1921 in America. The cartoon depicts an early oil salesman, symbolizing the fraudulent nature of the Fordney Emergency Tariff Bill. This bill had been vetoed by President Woodrow Wilson but was later signed into law by President Warren G. Harding. Kirby's artwork portrays a snake-like figure representing deceit and crime, wrapped around a bottle labeled "Tariff Bill". This imagery suggests that the bill is nothing more than a quack remedy, promising to cure all problems faced by both man and beast. It highlights how politicians often use such legislation as political acts rather than genuine solutions. The cartoon also references Harding's association with the Republican Party through his inclusion in the artwork. By resurrecting and signing this controversial bill, it implies that he may have succumbed to pressure from special interest groups or made compromises for political gain. Overall, Kirby's cartoon serves as a scathing critique of not only the Fordney Emergency Tariff Bill itself but also exposes larger issues within American politics during that time period. It sheds light on topics like fraud, fake remedies (patent medicine), and questionable motives behind certain legislative decisions.
