Two women lean out windows. On the left is an Irish domestic representing the “Dem. Party” and on the right is a well-dressed matron representing the “Rep. Party.” Between them hangs a balance scale labeled “Party Politics” with Rear Admiral Winfield Scott Schley on the left, trying to upset the balance by pulling on the chains, causing the scale to swing wildly, and with Rear Admiral William Thomas Sampson on the right, struggling to hang on.

The most popular restaurant in the world

Uncle Sam, labeled “Trade Balance,” carries a large tray with many food products that constitute American agricultural exports. Seated around an L-shaped table are representatives from nations around the world, including “China, Asia, Africa, Russia, Germany, England, Spain, France, Austria, Turkey, Brazil, Mexico, Servia, [and] Norway.” Each is demanding food. A sign on the wall states “Cafe Yankee – If you don’t see what you want call for it.” John Bull, representing “England,” sits at the head of the table, holding a long list labeled “Bill of Fare – U.S. Restaurant.”
