What you’re looking at
This page contains several satirical pieces. The main cartoon "Cotton Is King" appears to critique American agricultural and economic priorities—likely referencing pre-Civil War Southern economic dominance based on cotton production. The "In Uncle Sam's Laboratory" cartoon at bottom satirizes weather prediction or government forecasting, showing Uncle Sam (the bearded figure representing the U.S. government) attempting to manipulate or control weather patterns. The caption's reference to "Washington's birthday" suggests this is political satire about government capabilities or pretensions. Other sections discuss exports, an upcoming American Fleet return, and Pen Points—a literary/editorial feature. The overall page mixes political commentary with humor typical of Judge magazine's satirical approach to American politics and society.
