Description |
A policeman drags a small, imp-like personification of anarchy (which carries several explosives, a pistol, a knife, and a flag reading "Down With Property") while a personification of the American Laborer looks down in disgust. The cartoon satirizes the common laborer's distancing from the anarchist movement. |
