# Judge Magazine Satire Analysis This page contains multiple satirical pieces typical of Judge's political humor circa the 1880s-90s. **"His Money Saves Him"** criticizes wealth's corrupting influence on justice, referencing a case where defendant Sharp escaped prison consequences through financial resources—mocking that "what a crime it is for a man, whether he be guilty or innocent, to be poor!" **"Two Men"** contrasts Dr. Parker (likely receiving money from friend Beecher) with a unnamed poor man, arguing the wealthy can buy their way through scandal while the poor starve. **"Speaks Practically"** shows Miss Prime and a young man discussing life's longest period, with the joke hinging on their ages and romantic calculations. The cartoon illustration depicts a well-dressed couple in an interior setting, likely illustrating one of these social commentary pieces about class disparities. Throughout, Judge employs its characteristic approach: mocking American political hypocrisy, inequality, and the undue influence of wealth on outcomes that should be equitable.
