What you’re looking at

This appears to be a comic strip sequence rather than political satire. It depicts "Nervy Nat," a recurring character (likely a street urchin or working-class boy), discovering hidden treasure buried in an urban location. The plot involves Nat overhearing gentlemen discussing buried Spanish doubloons, then attempting to retrieve the treasure himself. The sequence shows him evading a policeman and dealing with various obstacles while digging. The final panels suggest Nat encounters an authority figure (possibly a priest or well-dressed gentleman) who warns him away. The humor relies on slapstick mishaps and Nat's scrambling street-kid antics—typical of early 20th-century comic strip humor aimed at entertaining readers rather than making political commentary. The title character's "nervy" nature drives the comedic action throughout.
