Political Cartoons

The main visual elements in this political cartoon is the man holding the worker in his hands, making the money from him fall out of his pockets into the "profits from child labor" bag below him. The man has a badge that says capitalism, and the worker has one that says labor. This cartoon is about how managers take the people and make them the laborers to do his work. The labor doesn't earn much money, just enough to help out the family, and the money that they earn sometimes gets taken away. The man holding the worker is rich, and he owns the company. He can take the money out of the workers, and giving them only a little bit for their hard work. The cartoonist's opinion in this picture is that capitalism wasn't very good for the workers because they worked the long hours, but they didn't earn enough money. The money was being taken away from them into the managers bags of money.
The evidence is how the worker is being held and the money falling out of his pockets into the bag below him that belongs to the boss. The man holding the worker is rich and is dressed well, unlike the worker in his hands. The cartoonist used writing to represent capitalism, and labor which made the cartoon more clear to the reader about what the cartoon meant, and it gave more detail.
