I think maybe the cartoon is showing uncle sam (who is now representing america) riding a horse through the silver and the quick sand gold to prosperity. I think maybe this is all representing the gilded age, and all of it's wondrous prosperity, and wealth.

I think maybe the cartoon is showing uncle sam (who is now representing america instead of lady liberty) riding a horse to reach prosperity. I think maybe the sun on the horizon is representing the gilded age, and all of it's wondrous prosperity, and wealth.  
The images used are a horse, a man, and a sun, and I think the view point of the cartoonist is against the Gilded age. I think maybe he is showing how we were all getting caught up in gold and wealth that we were being sunk into it, and that was keeping us from true prosperity.

The images used are a horse, a man, and a sun, and I think the view point of the cartoonist is for, and supportive the Gilded age, but was also trying to point out how we were in so much debt because of gold. I think maybe he is showing how we were all getting caught up in gold and wealth that we were being sunk into it, and that was keeping us from true prosperity, or the Gilded age.
