No income tax!
At the “Income Tax Office,” a crowd clamors at the door where a notice states “One at a Time.” Inside, a wealthy man is standing by a desk. On the floor at his feet, in his hat, are papers labeled “Personal Property Tax Sworn Off,” “Tax on Capital Sworn Off,” and “Tax on Investments.” He kisses the Bible while a government official sits at the desk with his right hand raised. Caption: It is not only inquisitorial; but public morality forbids that the taxpayer should be forced to do any more hard swearing than he already does.

The true meaning of Republican harmony
Several Republicans stand in a temple, with a sacrificial lamb labeled “Civil Service Reform” at the base of a statue labeled “Patronage” with a trident labeled “Spoils.” Among them are Chester Alan Arthur, James Gillespie Blaine, Whitelaw Reid, Ulysses S. Grant, John Logan, William Henry Robertson, J. D. Cameron, George William Curtis, Carl Schurz, George Frisbie Hoar, John Sherman, Roscoe Conkling, and William Mahone. At the far end of the temple gallery is a statue of George M. Robeson as “Neptune.” Caption: The members of the Roman House of Tarquin, having been driven from power by the people, called together their adherents, and swore an oath of harmony over the body of a victim sacrificed for the purpose. They then undertook to get back to Rome, and History records that they Got Left.
