It was about time he woke up. Illustration shows Uncle Sam as Rip Van Winkle returning from his tariff sleep to discover that other countries now dominate foreign trade; his old rifle labeled "Monopoly Tariff" is outdated. John Bull sits with other representatives of foreign countries outside the "Inn of South American Trade"; in the background, steamships with flags of many nations unload freight; an insert shows a map and "The North Americans Idea of the Western Hemisphere". Date 1911 February 8.
