An “Honest Laborer,” with a “Savings Book” in his coat pocket, sits with his family around a table at dinner. An agitator tries to incite him to adopt the violent practices of anarchy. The laborer looks a bit like Abraham Lincoln, and hanging on the wall in the background is a portrait of George Washington. Caption: Honest Laborer (to Anarchistic Agitator)–Help you to destroy law and order? – not much! – and your stories that we are starving are all false!
