Creator(s): Gillam, Bernhard, 1856-1896, artist
Date Created/Published: N.Y. : Published by Keppler & Schwarzmann, 1882 May 3.
Summary: Print shows members of the 47th Congress carrying on their shoulders large money bags labeled 'Surplus $150,000,000' and 'Appropriations', and a sign that states 'No large appropriations for the Navy whilst Robeson is mixed up with it.' At the lead are three men, one dressed in armor labeled 'Folger' carrying a sword labeled 'Trust' and a shield labeled 'Integrity', another carrying a large ledger labeled 'Chandler Navy Department', and the third carrying a paper that states 'Sen. Harris's Exposure of Robeson'. John Sherman and John A. Logan are among the congressmen that follow. They are walking past George M. Robeson as an ogre sitting on a pile of skeletal remains of ships with skulls as figureheads and labeled 'U.S.N.', at the entrance to a cave labeled 'Naval Committee', he is biting his fingernails. A notice at the entrance to the cave states '$180,000,000 squandered and stolen during Robeson's management of the Navy 1868-76'.
Notes:
Title from item.
Caption: '...He is, by reason of age, also of the many shrewd brushes that he met with in his younger days, grown so crazy and stiff in his joints, that he can now do little more than sit in his cave's mouth, grinning at Appropriations as they go by, and biting his nails because he cannot come at them.'
Illus. from Puck, v. 11, no. 269, (1882 May 3), centerfold.
