# Political Satire from Judge Magazine This page contains editorial commentary and one political cartoon titled "SQUEEZED IN WALL STREET." The cartoon depicts a figure at a desk being confronted by what appears to be a burglar or criminal demanding money, illustrating the article "THE MEANNESS OF PROTECTION" — likely critiquing tariff policies that "protected" American industries while allegedly squeezing consumers and workers. The editorial snippets mock various political figures and policies: Democratic vulnerabilities, President Theodore Roosevelt's vigor, George Gould's wealth, and labor union declarations of martial law. References to McKinley Democrats and F.V. Debs suggest this dates to the early 1900s. The overall tone is Republican-leaning satirical commentary on Democratic and labor movement politics of that era.
