Uncle Sam sits on a split-rail fence labeled “Trust Control of Congress” enclosing a barren patch of land and an emaciated cow labeled “U.S. Post Office Dept.” Outside the fence are some fat cows labeled “Express Company” that are grazing on rich grasses labeled “Parcel Carrying Profits” showing paper money and dollar signs. Caption: Uncle Sam–It’s high time that fence came down!
