Date Created/Published: 1872.
Summary: Horace Greeley's famous and widely ridiculed 1871 pamphlet 'What I Know of Farming' provided the pretext for the title here. With the tail and cloven hoof of a devil Greeley (center) leads a small band of Liberal Republicans in pursuit of incumbent President Ulysses S. Grant and his supporters. Greeley heralds 'General Amnesty,' echoing his campaign pledge of amnesty for former Confederates. He is followed by his running mate Benjamin Gratz Brown (with a long beard) who calls for 'Reduction of Taxes.' Next follows bespectacled Missouri Republican leader Carl Schurz, who carries a flag 'Reconciliation,' and Massachusetts senator and civil rights advocate Charles Sumner who demands 'Equal Rights to All.' Grant, holding a liquor bottle, and his three companions flee to the left. One of them is Benjamin F. Butler, who grasps three silver spoons. (For the significance of Butler's spoons, see 'The Radical Party on a Heavy Grade,' no. 1868-14.) The man at far left is probably former New York senator Roscoe Conkling, a zealous supporter of Grant's administration and programs. Grant cries, 'Let us have Peace,' an 1868 campaign slogan.
