(John) Magee, John L. Date Created/Published: Philada. : Publd by I [i.e. John] Childs, 1856. Summary: A campaign parody somewhat favorable to Republican candidate John C. Fremont, but suggesting a conspiracy between Fremont and Millard Fillmore to defeat Democrat James Buchanan. Buchanan's nickname 'Ten Cent Jimmy' was a derisive label applied to him by labor interests. In the background behind a fence Buchanan can be seen addressing a working-class gathering. 'Gent[leme]n,' he harangues them, 'if you put me in, why I promise that you shall be on the same plan as the laborers of Europe, Ten Cents a Day.' Fillmore crouches this side of the fence, watching. Fremont, with a carpenter's tools and smock, and shirtsleeves rolled, stands in the foreground. Fillmore (aside, to Fremont): 'Monte, I've got my eye up on the old Buck--with such a crowd as he's got, he can't go in, I'll Bargain with you? If I can't win, why you shall.' Fremont: 'All right, agreed and if I don't win why you shall, but look here, If Ten Cent Jimmy wins we working men will have Ten Cents a Day. How are we to live? look at the price of provisions.' To the left is a 'Cheap grocery & provision store' offering pork at ten to eighteen cents per pound, 'Fine Buck' at two and a half cents, cabbages at ten to twelve and a half cents each, and other produce at equally high rates. At right is the boardinghouse of 'Mrs Woodbee Late Pierce' (no doubt a disparaging reference to Democratic incumbent Franklin Pierce) offering rooms to mechanics at three dollars per week. A scrawny dog barks at the door. Notes: Probably drawn by John L. Magee. Publd by I [i.e. John] Childs 84 St 3rd. St. Philada. Title appears as it is written on the item. Weitenkampf, p. 117.
