The main visual elements in the cartoon is that a wealthy looking, big man is holding a small man over three sacks of gold. One of the sacks of gold is labeled profits from child labor. This political cartoon is about the evils of capitalism and how they make some people very rich and some people very poor. The cartoonist obviously by the way he has made the cartoon thinks that capitalism is evil and should be stopped. The evidence would I think first be the labeling of the bags child labour profits. Then the size of the men showing how the rich one had all the power. And finally the words at the bottom of the cartoon. I think that to show it even more he should have the bigger man physically hurting the smaller man.
