<i>Title:</i> Noxious growths in liberty's grounds
<p><i>Abstract:</i> 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.
