The cartoon below titled "The Political Poor Relation: an Unwelcomed Guest at the Table of Protected Monopolists" was created in the late 1800s: A political cartoon shows an unkempt man standing in front of a table of well-dressed men with full bellies. The unkempt man is very thin and clutches his hat as he seeks an invitation to the table. The men at the table look at the unkempt man with contempt. In the background of the image, the kitchen is shown. The doorway to the kitchen is labeled Congressional Kitchen. The cartoon is labeled The Political Poor Relation An Unwelcome Guest.
