Uncle Sam leans against the rail at a bar, a glass in one hand and a cigar in the other, and looking a little disheveled. A cloth hanging from a pocket is labeled “Deficit.” A bottle labeled “High Protection” rests at his right elbow. The bartender, labeled “Congress,” is represented by the figure of Senator Nelson W. Aldrich, is offering some friendly advice. Caption: “Quit nothin’! Why, a little more of the same’ll make you feel O.K.”
