I think that the main things that lead the reader to believe that the author feels this way about capitalism is obviously the big capitalism giant, the laborer being pushed around and juiced of his money and the bag of "profits from child labor". The author is obviously opposed to privately owned companies because he is illustrating that this big, fat, well off man is a follower of capitalism and that therefore he is evil, because he is making his money off child labor and money that rightfully belongs to his workers. The author also believes that laborers aren't getting what is owed to them, and are actually being robbed of their money by the big bosses. And the bag of child labor is saying that capitalists earn their money illegally or unfairly, by means that are putting other people in danger.
I think he could have created the feeling of hatred towards capitalism more by pulling his audience, and getting them to empathize more with the hard working, rundown members of the working class. Maybe a little cartoon of run down looking women and children shoveling coal or something, a drawing that makes the reader feel sorry for the anti-capitalist, and the laborers especially.
