What you’re looking at

This page from *The Wasp* contains three separate articles with no visible political cartoons. The main pieces discuss: 1. **"White Cigar Makers"** - Advocating for a cigar-manufacturing school to teach workers the trade, positioning this as preferable to Chinese labor competition and as relief for struggling industries. 2. **"The Workingmen"** - Reporting on labor agitation regarding agricultural workers' conditions, noting a movement has "started under much glowing auspices." 3. **"The Antiquity of the Turkey"** and **"A Natural Alarm"** - Discussing turkey history and Southern Republican political anxieties about losing power, with *The New York Tribune* quoted expressing concern about office-holding Republicans facing challenges. The page is primarily text-based social and political commentary rather than illustrated satire.
