This page is primarily **advertising** with one satirical cartoon titled **"Human Nature"** by Josh Wink. The cartoon satirizes American hypocrisy regarding class. Two men boast about American democracy and reject European class-consciousness—claiming Americans don't bow to nobility like "bargain-counter counts." However, the moment they spot a wealthy aristocrat (the Count de Munneyspent) passing by, they abandon their principles entirely, leading a crowd of admirers chasing after him. The satire's point: despite Americans' proclaimed egalitarian ideals, they're actually just as eager to fawn over wealth and status as Europeans are over titles. The working-class men become the very thing they criticized—proving that snobbery transcends national boundaries and reflects universal human weakness rather than genuine democratic values. The irony is sharp: their self-righteous declarations about American superiority are immediately contradicted by their own behavior.

Said he, ** It makes me tired to see With what extreme agility Some people bow and scrape and fawn ‘And smile on the nobility. It's pitiful to see the way Some people smirk and grovel, And on a lord, or duke, or earl ‘Their plaudits fairly shovel.” ** You bet !" the other man replied. * Why. some of them go fra And duck around and try to do Some old-world sort of antic. No, sir! The plain American Holds just as proud a station As all the bargain-counter counts ‘That pester this creation.” Just then the first man turned and said, “* By jinks! Look over yonder! There goes the Count de Munneyspent.” ‘And then they gaped in wonder. And as the count went down the street "Twas then, oh, men and brothers!
