Puck, v. 49, no. 1269

A tourist from the city stands on the steps of a railroad passenger car, speaking to an old man and a young boy standing on the platform at a train station in a quiet community known as “Restville.” A man with a heavy beard and smoking a pipe is leaning against the wall of the station. Another man sitting in a chair appears to be asleep. Caption: The Tourist. — Rather quiet here, isn’t it? Leading Citizen (of Restville). — Quiet? – why, say, even the unexpected don’t happen here!

Senator Marcus Alonzo Hanna, wearing a sign “Please help the poor,” and J.P. Morgan, carrying a model ship labeled “Leyland S.S. Lines,” stand at the end of a pier with the “Ship Yard” behind them. They hold out their hats, one labeled “For a shipping subsidy,” to Uncle Sam standing in front of the U.S. Treasury. An enormous ocean-going steamship, flying a banner “American built ships,” floats offshore in the distance. Caption: Uncle Sam. — You are already building up a monopoly without help; – why should I pay you a subsidy?
