A political cartoon depicting pro-immigration ideals. The cartoon portrays Uncle Sam (the American mascot) tipping his hat to welcome newly arrived immigrants to the United States. Every immigrant portrayed in the political cartoon has a 5-cent coin for a head, representing that they are not arriving with much money and are looking for opportunity in the United States.

A political cartoon portraying Mike McDonald (a wealthy gang leader who supported Benjamin Harrison’s campaign (Republican)) and Wayne MacVeagh (Grover Cleveland’s Attorney General (Democratic)) to represent the 1892 Presidential Election. In the cartoon, Wayne Macveagh is presented as a classy and formal gentleman while Mike McDonald is presented as a scoundrel who is informal, smokes, and carries a pistol. Because Mike McDonald was a prominent gang leader in Chicago, he is portrayed as bad. Behind Wayne Macveagh is a sign that reads “To Democracy” while Mike McDonald has a sign that reads “To The G.O.P”. The political cartoon takes a democratic stand as the artist presents Wayne Macveagh in a positive and rational manner while Mike McDonald is not. This political cartoon also represents how the New York World took a pro-democracy stand through its sources.

An article about the 1888 extension to the Chinese Exclusion Act and how the extension is unfair to the Chinese. The author takes a pro-immigration stance by noting that the U.S. has violated the contract it made with China and that Chinese immigrants who live in or move to the United States are treated heinously.
