“FOR WHATSOEVER A MAN SOWETH, THAT SHALL HE ALSO REAP.”
PUCK, June 15th, 1887.
Incredible as it may seem, the hare-brained theories of Mr. Henry George as to the communistic ownership of land received at one time a most unmerited toleration from people who would not have been suspected of sympathy with such vagaries. That he and his partner McGlynn did not accomplish the mischief they set out to do was no fault of theirs. When this cartoon was drawn, June 15th, 1887, they seemed to be perilously near to attaining their end. The reason that they failed was that, as is usual in this country, Horse Sense ultimately triumphed over Hysteria.
