Uncle Sam helps four little girls labeled “Philippines, Ladrones, Porto Rico, [and] Cuba” onto a wagon filled with many other young children, including “Hawaii.” Two horses harnessed to the wagon are labeled “Liberty” and “Union.” An old man, wearing a hat labeled “Monroe Doctrine,” sits on a log nearby and asks Sam if the wagon isn’t getting too full.
