What you’re looking at

This appears to be a Judge magazine cartoon titled "There Is a Cry" (text partially visible). The image depicts a figure perched on a platform labeled "McKINLEY" and "PROTECTION," overlooking a scene below where people appear to be working or laboring among bricks and construction materials. The cartoon likely critiques McKinley's protective tariff policies, suggesting they burden working people. The elevated position of the figure (possibly representing McKinley or a supporter) contrasts with the laborers below, implying disparity between political leadership and ordinary workers affected by tariff legislation. Without the complete caption, the full satirical argument remains unclear, but the composition suggests commentary on economic inequality or the costs of protectionist trade policy on the working class.
