The central cartoon titled "Measures of Protection" depicts figures in period dress (appearing to be 19th century) engaged in what seems to be a financial or commercial negotiation or dispute. The illustration style and composition suggest commentary on economic policy. The surrounding text items are brief satirical observations on contemporary political figures and events, including references to Cleveland, a prohibitionist, and various social matters. However, without clearer identification of specific historical dates or figures in the visible text, the exact political context remains unclear. The page primarily functions as a satirical commentary page mixing short jokes with editorial cartoons, typical of Judge's format. The specific historical references and political targets would require additional contextual information to identify with certainty.

CLEVELAND doesn’t say much, but he is scratching himself as if every square inch of his corporeal substance had a flea there, A PROHIBITIONIST opens his mouth for the sole purpose of ejecting spleen, When he shuts it— on the whole, however, he doesn’t shut it, s+ AFTER A WHILE the del- uge!” exclaims the Voice, which is for prohibition.

BROTHER FLOWER is a generous man; and when.his money gives out there will be this private message from the poet David to a sym- pathizing world—“All's well that ends Roswell.” THE TAFFY given the south by Governor Hill was excellent; but the confectionery that is distributed with the obvious purpose of recom- pense loses its sweetness the moment it has disappeared. MEASURES OF PROTECTION. —"*Goin’ inter d’ stove business, Paul?” my respec’s t' Miss Radelyffe, on dl twnpike, an’ ain't been interjuced t' dole HE PEOPLE of St. Louis are sending out maps to show that they occupy the centre of the continent and therefore ought to have the world’s fair; but in our opinion the fair ought to go to Franklin, Ky. on ROTHER TALMAGE has contributed a great deal to the morals and the good living of this country and this century, and his services ought to bring him the monument of a new and splendid tabernacle. sere RS. POTTER, according to Mr. Bellew, will not be able to act again until late in January. Her trouble, she says, is the fever of the foot- lights, and we are afraid that's incurable. But Mr. Potter is quite well. ekeits USAN B. ANTHONY wants half a million or so from a glucose com- pany that has infringed her rights. That is not entirely modest, for the dear old girl has sweetness enough to lose two-thirds of it without missing her loss. THE WEALTH WE HAVE NEGLECTED. F THE South American congress, now the guests of the United States, are not worn out with their swift and unprecedented journeying; if their minds are not dazed with the spectacular display of frequent cities, the smallest as large or larger than any of their own capitals; if they are not surfeited by the kaleidoscopic presentation of industrial activities, so entirely: in contrast with their more languid and leisurely methods, they will certainly be stimulated to re- port to their respective govern- ments that an industrial alliance and exchange between themselves and the republic of the north will be of vast and mutual benefit. During the last thirty years the civilized world has made greater strides in material production and rapidity of commercial interchange than in the six centuries preceding. Such absolutely new conditions have been developed by steam and telegraph that a whisper in Europe is heard here as soon as uttered, and the Atlantic is crossed on a pontoon bridge of almost touching steamers. While the United States has been intent on all possible methods of internal advancetnent and the speediest recuperation from ‘the exhaustion of its internecine struggle, Europe, handicapped, as it is and has been, by brief and yet costly contests, and the expensive maintenance of watchful arma- ments (from which latter the arbit- rament concluded at Appomattox has saved us), has not been sleep- ing. England, Germany and France have been reaching out, ready to harvest any new ground that promised a profitable field. It was the inevitable result of the late conflict that our first instinct should be addressed to the healing of our own wounds and a replacement of the national waste. While we were devoting ourselves to internal de- velopment and invigoration the maritime and manufacturing enterprises of Europe, having no unoccupied territory to develop, devoted themselves to the discovery of new markets and the commercial cultivation of the seas. The United States has not been blind to its own interests and the resources of Central and South America, but its hand has not been strong enough, or its arm long enough, till now, to extend a fraternal greeting. It is perhaps fortunate that two presidential terms have elapsed between Mr. Blaine’s proposal of amity and commercial alliance with our conti- nental neighbors, as the time has now fully ripened its advantages. With a conscious appreciation of our large landed estate, we are apt to overlook the fact that the Central and South Americas have an availa- ble area double and more than double that of the United States; that while they are separated into eighteen political divisions, nearly all repub- ics, they may be regarded, in their common Latin-race origin, as separate sovereign states, like our own, and only lacking in the tie of federation. Their aggregate population is within a few millions as large as ours. The largest and most majestic navigable rivers in the world penetrate their territory, affluent temperate and tropical products. Their immense mountain vertebra bulges with the wealth of the utilitarian and the richest of metals. Their primitive forests are mines of the rarest woods and are 1's gwine down t’ pay comicbooks.com
