Summary

Description
English: Title: The modern balaam and his ass. A gaunt figure labeled Bankrupts of 1837 "the Regency" "Safety Fund" "Deposit Banks" "Old Hickory" & Uncle Sam $300,000,000 holds a fiery sword labeled Protest $200,000. The figure says "Wherefore hast thou smitten thine Ass? Behold I went out to Protest thee, because thy way is perverse before me!!" An ass carrying a man and a sack with the words Specie Currency Circulating Medium replies to the figure, "Am not I thine Ass upon which thou hast ridden ever since I was thine unto this day?" The man ontop the talking Ass wields a cane with the word Veto on it and says to the figure, "Because thou hast mocked me, I would there were a sword in mine hand, for now would I veto thee!!" The man also has part of his garment labeled Farewell Address. A man walking behind him with a bulge in his pocket labeled $300,000 says, "I shall tread in the footsteps of my illustrious predecessor."
