The main cartoon, titled "A Sad Sequel," depicts a magician (labeled as "conjuring Mr. Jackson's pockets") addressing a woman named Flowers. The text beneath suggests a romantic scenario—the magician boasts of producing various luxuries from his pockets to impress her, promising wealth and romance. This appears to satirize Andrew Jackson's financial policies or personal wealth claims. The "magician" metaphor suggests Jackson is performing political sleight-of-hand—making false promises of prosperity to the electorate, particularly women voters (represented by Flowers). The cartoon critiques what Judge saw as Jackson's empty rhetoric masking economic mismanagement or deception. The surrounding editorial text addresses labor issues, federal vs. state power, and economic policies of the era, contextualizing the cartoon's political critique.

WITHOUT LAW there cannot be reformation of any kind, and labor suffers most when law is broken.

Various STRIKES and investigations suggest that the only lucky fellows in this world are those who have gone out of it. LABOR SUFFERS from palpable wrongs; but it cannot right them by breaking the law which is every man’s safety and destroying property whose preservation is its own salvation, IT IS CURIOUS that the little town of Pullman should push its quarrel into every state, and that there should arise therefrom the theory that only local authority has a right to deal with it, Put that theory down as an error and a crime. HE QUESTION as to the rights of states and those of the federal government was fought out thirty years ago. There is no room here for any later Jefferson Davis, These states are a nation, and the president is commander-in-chief of its army and navy. A SAD SEQUEL.

The discussion waxed hotter than the conflagration, and when it had ended the governors had torn themselves to pieces and the fire had burned all the property and gone six feet into the ground, HAVE WE A DESPOTISM? WE TRUST this will be a free country again, some day. The associ- ation with a grievance must not hope to make everybody mi all the time. It isereally the privilege of a citizen to ride in such he prefers, serve such a creed as he pleases, and labor or go idle ai ible Fs as cording to his own selection. This isn’t such an infernally despotic country that a thousand men have the right to control the movements of all the rest of us. PEACE THROUGH TRIBU- LATION. N ACT OF COURTESY from Germany to France, the touch of nature which makes the world akin, creates good feeling which puts war far away. When peace is so easy why should there ever be war? Somebody. who thinks so far in advance of his time as to be absurd, suggests that the golden rule will eventually bring capi- tal and labor peacefully together—and if not that what will? Let us have faith in mankind and in the promise that the sword will some day become an implement of industry and pea THE LOW ART OF NAG- GING, SOMETHING TOO MUCH of a good thing. The persistent fol- lowing of Richard Croker by reporters instructed to annoy him as much as possible’ has nothing in it of dignity or aie play. Any innocent man afflicted h the enmity of a newspaper mi made to suffer in the same way, eno legal remedy. The Sareporters are paid to be impertinent and insulting in detail, outside of the insult of their intolerable espionage. There is a personal malice here of which a great newspaper ought to be ashamed. FAIR PLAY FOR ALL, HOW WOULD it be for capital in making its combinations to pro- vide for fair wages for the labor it employs? The people are willing to pay fair prices for good goods, and do not ask that labor shall suffer to put money in their purses. The opposing interests of capital might, if they would, unite on scales of wages that would be just to labor; and th: would be cheaper and better than these persistent strikes, which are in some cases as unavoidable as they are lamentable. cheap workers and cheap voters. THE RULE OF THE COMMUNE. A TAX ON INCOME is a penalty against enterprise and success. It is Robin Hood come again with the theory that it is right to rob the rich in behalf of yourself and the poor. It is communism, because it assumes that it is wrong for one to own more than another. It will pre ently strive to abolish ownership, after the manner of those labor organi zations which insist that you shall control only in their way the property you have honora It is populism, It goes straight to anarchy. Heaven help us! it is the doctrine of the great party which holds the three branches of the federal government. we. pale with excitement)—" Oh, yo" Dat's whar yo" money goes. iS not a nation of achieved, comicbooks.com
