The black hand of democracy
The “Democratic party” holds a “ruin to U.S. industries” knife with a hilt that features Alton B. Parker’s head. The Democratic party brings the knife near a group of individuals, including a “citizen,” “capitalist,” “manufacturer,” and “house owner.” The arm of the party reads, “Democratic platform: tariff for revenue only means smaller wages.” The hand has several words: “spoils,” “Hillism,” “Bryanism,” “Gormanism,” “Belmontism,” and “fallacies.”
