The main visual element is capitalism personified as fat, greedy giant shaking money out of a worker into his money bags. The fat greed giant also represents those who benefit from capitalism. The work represents the exploited workers (child laborer, immigrants, factory workers). I think this cartoon was created to point out the evils of capitalism. The cartoonist obviously thinks capitalism is good for some people, but bad for the actual workers. I think I can safely assume the author is against this aspect of capitalism. The message of the cartoon is also depicted in the text found at the bottom of the cartoon. The cartoon is a parody of Jack and the Beanstock.
