A complete, restored issue of Judge from 1894-07-14 — all 16 pages of color political cartoons and topical humor, free to page through at comicbooks.com.

On the cover: # Analysis of Judge Magazine Cover, July 14, 1894 This political cartoon satirizes corruption involving **sugar tariffs and profits**. A demonic figure (likely representing a corrupt politician or lobbyist) is being expelled from the Capitol building by Lady Justice's hand. The devil carries bags labeled "Sugar Profits" and holds documents marked "Deals" and what appears to be tariff-related paperwork. The Capitol dome is visible in the background. The caption "Go Home and Never Come Back!" suggests this reflects a specific political victory against sugar industry corruption or removal of protective tariffs that benefited certain manufacturers at public expense. Sugar tariff politics were contentious in 1890s America, involving debates over protectionism and monopolistic practices. The cartoon celebrates the expulsion of these corrupt interests from government.

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