Our forefathers fought for a principle - there is no fight in us. Illustration shows two scenes, at top left is The Spirit of 76 showing a family about to sit down to tea, as boxes of tea are visible, through a window in the back of the room, floating in Boston Harbor. The father, who has just entered, states: Away with that tea or you're no daughter of mine! Not a drop in this house until the hateful tax is taken off! At bottom right is The Spiritless 1907 showing a family sitting at the dinner table where the grandfather is about to carve the beef, he states: Ain't it a shame the prices they charge for beef. But we've got to have it, Trust or no Trust. At the bottom left, disgruntled patrons exit a Market, counting their change. Date 1907 November 13.
