Title: noxious growths in liberty's grounds
abstract: illustration shows uncle sam and a female figure identified as liberty strolling through a park among trees labeled "equal rights, free press, free schools, free speech, free ballot, constitution, [and] religious liberty"; around the bases of the trees are many mushrooms labeled "total abstinence fanatics, monopoly, socialist, nihilist, dynamiter, communist, anarchist, demagogism, bribery, [and] corrupt", and a vine labeled "protection" is beginning to strangle a tree labeled "unrestricted commerce". Puck, sitting on a tree branch, tells uncle sam that he needs to clear out the fungus before it destroys "liberty's" park. Some of the mushrooms have faces that might be identified.
