# Political Cartoon Analysis: "Everything 'Sound': On Carlisle and His Record" This June 1895 *Judge* cartoon satirizes **John G. Carlisle**, likely Treasury Secretary or a prominent politician. The left figure, cheerful and juggling, represents Carlisle promoting "sound money" and free silver policies (references to 1890, 1877, 1878 dates on the drum). The right figure, grimacing and holding a clock marked "1895," appears to represent political opposition or the consequences of these policies. The caption's phrase—"You can't lose me, Charlie"—suggests ironic commentary on Carlisle's political record and consistency (or inconsistency) regarding monetary policy. The contrasting expressions emphasize satirical critique of his positions on the divisive free-silver debate that dominated 1890s American politics.
