Cartoons Galore.

“The Sound Currency” club has got tired of keeping up the “sound" part of its argument, and will try to attract attention by means of a series of pictures, to rest its howling apparatus. We have received a circular advertising a list of 40 cartoons illustrative of goldbug buncombe argument, which are being sent out from G 2 Williams street (adjoining Wall street) N. Y. They are printed on card board and the entire set sold for SIOO. The list is as follows; 1. Two for One. 2. 16 to 1 Locust. 3. Fiat Weather. 4. Coin’s Flying Machine. G. Flat Wheat. 6. Fiat Cloth. 7. Too Much Business. 8. Pig lu the Garden. 9. June Grub of 189 G. 10. What Free Silver Will Buy, 11. The Unjust Steward. 12. Life Insurance and Free Coinngo. 13. A New Way to Swindle Old Soldiers. 14. A Double Standard. IG-10. Choose Your Wago Standard. 17. It All Depends on What You Look Through. 18. Don’t Monkey With the* Buzz Saw, 19. A Mill for the Barons. 20. Wages in Silver Country. 21. After Taking the Silver Cure. 22. Pig Silver. 23. Clothes and Dollars. 24. Rival Jesters. 2G. Dog in tho Manger. 26. Freo Coinage Hatchet. 27. Over the Brink. 28. Coin at School. 29. Light Weight Hypnotism. 30. Beauty of Bimetallism. 31. Up in a Balloon. 32. “Bimetallic” Exercise. 33. The Biggest Hog. 34. The Basis of Commerce. 35. Coin’s Exegesis. 36. Christian and Demas. 37. The Two Yard Sticks. 38". Whom Free Coinage Carries. 39. Nickel In the Slot. 40. Red Riding Hood. We hope the Populists and free silver men may be given an opportunity to see all these cartoons, that they may the more appreciate the counterparts that will from time to time appear in the reform press cartoon service. Subjects for answer easily suggest themselves. For Instance, “Two for One” might represent the two dollars' worth of produce the debtor is compelled to pay where he contracted to pay only one. The “grave-digging machine” of the gold-bugs might be contrasted with “Coin’s Flying Machine.” “Pig in the Garden” suggests “Hog in the White House.” And 30 on. Our special artist is at work making special designs, and finds the gold-bug efTort a great help by virtue of its very absurdity.
