EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage print captures a powerful political message from 1921. Created by renowned cartoonist John Miller Baer, this labor cartoon adorned the front page of the Nonpartisan Leader newspaper on May 30th, 1921. The cartoon serves as a call to action for an alliance between farmers and organized labor in America. Depicting an early American landscape with a cliff and cloudy sky as its backdrop, Baer's artwork portrays two men pushing against a boulder labeled "anti-capital". One man represents the working class in his overalls, symbolizing laborers, while the other embodies farmers' interests. This visual metaphor emphasizes their shared struggle against oppressive forces. Baer's skillful use of typeface within the masthead further reinforces his message of unity and political action. By placing this thought-provoking cartoon on the front page, it aimed to inspire readers to consider joining forces across these two essential sectors of society. This historic image offers us a glimpse into an era when workers' rights were fiercely fought for and alliances between different groups were crucial for social change. It reminds us that even in times past, people recognized the power they held when united against common adversaries.
