Description
statement of responsibility: composed by W. Stuckenholz
For piano. "Ha ha ha" lyrics in the introduction and text "Stop!" on p. 2-3
Illustrated t.p. (27 x 36 cm.) depicts five men around a balloon labeled "Inflation 00,000,000" with a patch labeled "4,000,000 legalized." The 1874 Inflation Bill, which President Grant vetoed on April 22, proposed that there should be 00,000,000 in greenbacks, adding 4,000,000 to the paper currency. Two men (Oliver P. Morton and Benjamin Butler) are blowing up the balloon and another is holding an air tube to the balloon but is stopping it off rather than blowing into it (William A. Richardson?). President Ulysses S. Grant, with a cigar in his mouth, holds a tube but does not contribute effort to blowing up the balloon. The final man (Carl Schurz) is sprawled on top of the balloon. Signed "W.H. Shelton."
