A complete, restored issue of Judge from 1892-11-05 — all 16 pages of color political cartoons and topical humor, free to page through at comicbooks.com.

On the cover: # Political Cartoon Analysis: "Which Nobody Can Deny" This November 5, 1892 *Judge* cartoon satirizes the Democratic Party's tariff policy. The well-dressed gentleman in the foreground, wearing a cape and holding a sword, represents a Republican figure surveying destruction—broken workshops and factories visible behind him. The sign reads "Our Candidates for President [Benjamin] Harrison for Vice-President [Whitelaw] Reid," identifying this as Republican campaign material. The caption quotes David B. Hill, a Democratic politician, claiming the Democratic tariff plank made American workshops and factories into Republican campaign headquarters. The satire suggests Democrats inadvertently helped Republicans by making tariff policy so damaging that factories themselves became symbols of Republican success, supporting the GOP's election campaign through economic hardship.

🖼️ Every page has a plain-English note on what you’re looking at — the figures, the references, the point of the satire.
