In the name of labor / Kep. - Political cartoon, public domain image

Illustration shows a gigantic man wearing a crown labeled "Protected Monopoly" holding upright a wooden figure of an American laborer labeled "Protected American Labor" and a sign that states "Protection Maintains for American Labor the American Standard of Living"; the wooden figure holds a dinner pail in one hand and a booklet labeled "Savings" in the other. A diminutive man labeled "American Laborer", in the left foreground, looks at the viewer and gestures with his thumb back at the wooden figure. On the right, from a ship at dock, a stream of "Foreign Labor" disembarks, passing through a gate labeled "Starvation Wages", and heading for factories in the background.

Illus. in: Puck, v. 72, no. 1850 (1912 August 14), centerfold.
