Answer:

In the first decade of the twentieth century, Harper's Weekly began running a page of cartoons reprinted from daily newspapers from across the country and called "Events of the Week in Cartoons." This cartoon from the Philadelphia Inquirer depicts the cause of the Russian Revolution of 1905 as a gigantic hammer of "oppression" that strikes the head of Tsar (here, "Czar") Nicholas II. The effect, the cartoonist hopefully envisions, is to make Russia's authoritarian ruler see the stars of "liberty," "freedom," "constitution," and "parliament"; that is, to accept a constitutional monarchy
