At center two large hands labeled “Militarism” and “Jingoism” are squeezing men labeled “Labor” and “Capital” over an inverted spike-topped helmet stuck in the ground and overflowing with their blood. There is a skull and crossbones emblem on the front of the helmet. Surrounding vignettes depict, on the left, science, art (sculpture), and woodworking, and on the right, agriculture, art (painting), and blacksmithing.
