“There is a rich land to the south” – the Pan-American Mercury to the Yankee manufacturers
The Roman god Mercury wears a hat labeled “Pan-American Union” and is draped in cloth the color of the American and South American flags. He points to a large globe showing “South America” and tells a group of mostly old men who are North American manufacturers that South America is ripe for exploitation. Caption: They jeer and scoff at him now as others jeered and scoffed at Columbus when he told them of a land to the west.
