# "Enforced Hauteur" Cartoon Analysis This cartoon depicts a confrontation between two figures labeled "Mrs. Vemplcy" and "Mrs. Vemplcy's Friend." The dialogue references "black trash" and "high-nity proud fer," suggesting a satirical commentary on class pretension and social snobbery among wealthy women during the Gilded Age. The cartoon mocks artificial class distinctions and affected superiority—a common Judge theme. The "enforced hauteur" (forced haughtiness) of the title suggests these women are performing social superiority rather than possessing genuine refinement. The specific "black trash" reference likely critiques racial and class-based prejudice among the Republican elite, connecting to the broader page's themes about Republican party management and social issues during the post-Civil War era.

Even the sycophantic cry of the conceited mugwump was drowned, as its wea led snarl died on the lips that made it. Industries menaced by the choke of the Democratic nightmare, re- lieved, will rise again. A definite tariff pc replacing the dread of an unknown one, will infuse fresh blood and new vigor into our recently paralyzed manufactories. The Republican party is pledged to a protec tive, not a prohibitory tariff, to a policy that will save the investor from ruin, and assure labor a liberal reward. Its civil service will be based on integrity and capacity, rather than scholastic responses to a Franklin- square literary catechism. It must be further conceded that the Republi- can party has among its sup- porters, and for official selection, all the needed honesty and ex- perience necessary for the mai agement of lesser, or larger, national affairs The Republican policy that controlled for twenty-five years, and gave to the world a spec- tacle of the greatest internecine contest, in which the vanquished, equal with the victors, were the winners, added the financial phe- nomenon of paying without pain, oppression or suffering, a vast portion of the public debt. It reduced the burden of interest on the rapidly reducing remainder from nearly seven and one-half to two and one-half per cent.
