EDITORS COMMENTS
William Jennings Bryan: The Logical Candidate and His Logic, Puck Magazine, January 24, 1900. This political cartoon from Puck Magazine, published on January 24, 1900, depicts Democratic presidential candidate William Jennings Bryan standing before a tree labeled "Business." Three men, representing Manufacturing Trust, Labor Trust, and Farmer Trust, are shown sawing off a branch labeled "Combination" from the tree, with the tool of agitation in hand. Bryan, known for his populist and progressive views, is shown looking up at the men in disapproval. The cartoon reflects the political climate of the time, as Bryan campaigned against the growing power and influence of trusts and monopolies in American business. The image of the men cutting off the branch of "Combination" symbolizes the perceived threat these entities posed to the interests of individual workers and farmers. Bryan's position as the logical candidate for those groups was based on his commitment to their causes and his advocacy for government intervention to protect them from the perceived abuses of big business. The cartoon's title, "The Logical Candidate and His Logic," underscores Bryan's reputation as a clear-thinking and principled leader, who was seen as a champion of the common man against the forces of corporate power. The image of Bryan standing before the tree, looking up at the men with a critical and determined expression, reinforces this idea and highlights his commitment to addressing the issues that mattered most to ordinary Americans.
