Answer
The caricature shows Bismarck with a whip in the parliament and members are afraid of him. It shows the dominance of Bismarck over the elected deputies of parliament. It depicts that though the members are elected they don't have right to speak up their views and share their ideas. They are acting as puppets in hands of Bismarck.
It is clear that the artist is trying to show that the true democracy did not prevail in the parliament. What prevailed was the autocratic behaviour of Bismarck under the name of democracy.
