Uncle Sam is shown before and after taking a “Tariff Reform Tonic.” “Before taking” he is listless and fatigued. “After taking” he is vigorous and healthy, sitting in a chair next to the table with the “Tariff Reform Tonic Prescribed by Dr. Cleveland.” Under the bottle of tonic is a notice that states, “The necessaries of life should be Greatly Cheapened. Cleveland Message 1887.” Caption: Uncle Sam has only had one sip, but it has already done him good.
