Summary

Top illustration shows men crowded together and described in the text as "the snob, the bully, the gambler, the beggar, the Jew, the millionaire, the swell, and the gentleman, all engaged in the worship of a common idol - the Almighty Dollar." Bottom illustration consists of eight stereotypes of American men: "the Yankee, a South Carolinian, a Hoosier, a Kentuckian, a Pennsylvanian, a Mississippian, a Californian, and the everlasting nigger."
