What you’re looking at

This page contains political commentary and brief satirical items rather than single cartoons. Key content includes: **"The New Confederacy"** - A lengthy article discussing how the Civil War geographically divided the nation, with references to contemporary political tensions. It mentions General Taylor and debates about tariffs and free trade affecting Northern manufacturing versus Southern interests. **"Blighted Hope"** - A cartoon showing a shipwrecked sailor, captioned about being "lost" and referencing "salt." **Various brief items** mock political figures including Cleveland, Chauncey Depew, and an heiress eloping with her coachman—typical society gossip satirized. The page appears from the Gilded Age era, focusing on post-Civil War sectional tensions, tariff debates, and aristocratic scandal. Without the magazine's date clearly visible, precise historical context remains unclear.

People north, and certainly people south, had no prior conception of the extent of the boundaries of the great contending states. The lines were drawn in red and dotted with battle marks. Rivers known only (or little known), even by name, became as household words. Newspapers of the day drew in sketchy lines of black places unheard of before, where the blue and the gray were struggling for or against the national life. The schooling was costly. The Kohinoor, placed at last in the diadem of liberty, had touches of blood mixed with its flashes of light. Again the Democracy, as is. its wont, purposes to painfully educate the people, The southern solidarity, de- feated in its attacks upon the national now resumes with hostility an onset on northern indus- tries. General Taylor (confederate) asserted that “the great mistake of the south was that when it had the power it had not first reduced the north to a defenceless condition by substantial free trade, and so rendered it powerless for attack or defence by undermining its great manufacturing industries.” ‘The glamour of an old party name is deluding. Mr. Cleveland is as clay in the hands of the potter, and is cast in the mould that made Buchanan the vain and superserviceable servant of shrewder and unscrupulous men. Re- garded by his users with a mixture of amusement and contempt, his egotism nevertheless leads him to stultify his early utterances against the dangers of an incumbent using his place for con- tinuance of power. It is the meager- ness of Democratic presidential ma- terial that coerces the party to accept, as against defeat, the lesser evil.

CLEVELAND likes fishing, but he steers very clear of the Canadian grounds for some reason—perhaps because of the seclu- sion of the bait. cee ANNY DAVENPORT denies the report of her marriage—meaning, we suppose, the eighth, or perhaps the bi-centennial, or it may be merely the one that comes around once a year. HAUNCEY M. DEPEW will come in September; and if there are two orators greater than Chauncey and James Gillespie they, as Mr. Boyle of Ireland would remark, have yet to be born. HE HEIRESS is eloping with her coachman again. That kind of madness holds the reins over her always at this season; but she re- covers from it so speedily at times as to engineer the necessity for a fine fall funeral. political nightmare, even, is preferable to political death A voter will now have statements to criticise and lesscns to learn on the subject of political economy. National and international interests and ques- tions of taxation, direct or indirect, will be presented for consideration. In this contest it will not, as twenty-five years ago, be a mapping of the movements of deatly forces, but an equally fateful diagram of policy. : It is an old proverb, “Find out your enemy's wants and then choose the opposite.” English interest is unhesitating in the indorsement, and outspoken on the side of Democracy. Not necessarily enmity, but selfishness, The brethren would not kill Joseph, but to be rid of a rival preferred to sell him into servitude. European manufacturers fully under- stand the political see-saw, and know that as our industrial interests go down theirs rise in proportion. As soon as the Mills bill passed the house Scotch manufacturers of burlaps and hop-sacking (none being manufac- tured in this country) assuming that, as in the English house of commons, a majority vote was a finality, prematurely advanced the price of their pro- duct the amount to be taken off by the proposed reduction of the tariff It is well known that when the duty was taken off coffee the growers de- manded and received the difference.
