Question refers to the image below. A political cartoon shows four well dressed men with large stomachs sitting on giant bags, which are on top of a large barge. The bags have dollar signs on them and are labelled, Fields Millions, Goulds Millions, and Vanderbilts Millions. The barge is constructed of large amounts of cloth, lumber, steel, linens, and other goods. There are signs around the barge that say, Linen Workers Average 11 dollars a Week, Cloth Workers Average 9 dollars a Week, Iron Workers Average 7 dollars a Week, and Lumber Workers Average 6 dollars a Week. The bottom front of the barge is supported by 10 men who are dressed in workers clothes and holding tools. They are bent over with the barge resting on their backs and shoulders.
