A gigantic man labeled “Free Silverite,” with the wings of a bat and the tail of a dragon, emerges from a dark forest carrying papers that state “Free Silver and Repudiation.” He is bearing down on a small knight labeled “United Sound Money Party” who is carrying a large sword labeled “Votes.” Caption: And as sound money stands at rest, / The Jabberwock, upon the run, / Comes whiffling from the Wooly West, / Burbling “Sixteen to One!” / One, two! – One, two! – and through and through, / Sound Money’s sword goes snicker-snack; – / He’ll leave it dead, and with its head, / He’ll go galumphing back. With Puck’s acknowledgments to the author of “Alice In Wonderland,” and Sir John Tenniel.
