It was about time he woke up / Gordon Ross.

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tariff sleep to discover that other countries now dominate foreign trade; his old rifle labeled "Monopoly Tariff" is outdated.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".

Caption: Sam Van Winkle finds a lot of hustling strangers in his place at the inn.

Illus. in: Puck, v. 69, no. 1771 (1911 February 8), centerfold.
