An employer and a group of laborers stand outside the entrance to a factory. The employer is directing the laborers’ attention toward a notice posted on the wall that states “Notice to Workers. If the Tariff Bill is Passed, Your Wages will be Cut.” Behind them, coming down the sidewalk, is a large, angry green “goblin” labeled “Redfield” carrying a paper that states “Notice to Employers. Department of Commerce will Investigate all Wage Reductions said to be Necessitated by the New Tariff.”
