A gigantic man wearing a crown labeled “Protected Monopoly” holds upright a wooden figure of an American laborer labeled “Protected American Labor” and a sign that states “Protection Maintains for American Labor the American Standard of Living.” The wooden figure holds a dinner pail in one hand and a booklet labeled “Savings” in the other. A diminutive man labeled “American Laborer,” in the left foreground, looks at the viewer and gestures with his thumb back at the wooden figure. On the right, from a ship at a dock, a stream of “Foreign Labor” disembarks, passing through a gate labeled “Starvation Wages,” and heading for factories in the background. Caption: How much longer can he get away with it?
