Explanation:

1. A man with his foot on money - bags is typically associated with wealth. A wealthy industrialist is a likely representation as they were known for amassing large amounts of wealth during certain historical periods. A striking coal miner would not be in such a position of wealth, a foreign diplomat is not typically symbolized by money - bags, and there is no indication that this is President Ulysses S. Grant.
2. The man holding a whip draped across a skull marked "Labor" is a strong symbol of opposition to labor. This implies that he does not support labor unions. There is no indication of support for the Progressive Party, a stance on immigration, or a desire to attack foreign countries.

Answer:

1. B. a wealthy industrialist
2. C. does not support labor unions
