EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "He's Back Again" captures the aftermath of William McKinley's triumph in the 1896 election. The image showcases a lobbyist for protective tariffs striding confidently and with an air of opulence within the U. S. Congress. Created by J. S. Pughe in 1897, this cartoon offers a satirical commentary on the influence and power wielded by lobbyists during that era. The lobbyist depicted stands tall and fat, symbolizing his success as he navigates through the corridors of political power. His presence is both imposing and commanding, reflecting his ability to shape policies that favor protective tariffs - taxes imposed on imported goods to safeguard domestic industries. Pughe skillfully incorporates various elements into this artwork to convey its message effectively. A cigar clenched between the lobbyist's teeth signifies wealth and indulgence while also alluding to backroom deals often associated with lobbying efforts. Additionally, a pig accompanying him serves as a metaphor for greed or gluttony, further emphasizing his voracious appetite for personal gain. Through this thought-provoking piece, Pughe highlights how influential lobbyists can be in shaping political acts and decisions within American society at that time. It serves as a reminder of the complex relationship between money, politics, and power which continues to resonate even today.
