A large ape with a human face wears a sheep skin as a disguise. Text on the side of the skin states “High Protection and Prosperity for American Labor and Capital.” The ape is wearing a hat labeled “Graftocracy” and its left foot is caught in a bear trap labeled “Lobby Exposure.” It walks with the aid of a staff through a landscape that is both wilderness and dotted with factories. Caption: The Brute with Brains – This disguise doesn’t seem to fool them the way it used to.
