About This Item
New York: James P. Giffing, 1840. 16pp, caption title [as issued]. Stitched. Lightly toned. Couple of fox spots on last leaf. Two full-page engraved illustrations. Very Good.
The pamphlet's illustrations: 'Harrison and Prosperity,' depicting a happy and industrious populace; and 'Van Buren and Ruin,' portraying a deeply depressed community, with a fat and happy manager of the Sub Treasury Office, and an elaborately uniformed Standing Army in the background. Harrison's sturdy character, patriotism, military service, and opposition to Standing Armies in time of peace eminently qualify him for the Presidency. Miles attributes authorship to Jacob Bailey Moore, the New Hampshire journalist.
The Democrat Van Buren, author of disastrous banking and economic policies, is a Loco-Foco at heart and anti-democratic. "We have had EXPERIMENTS enough; and the next change ought to be a CHANGE OF RULERS."
Miles 138. Sabin 16181.
