A rival who has come to stay
Uncle Sam stands with his arms spread on a solid dock labeled “U.S.” next to a sign that states, “Uncle Sam – The ship builder re-established with great success in 1893. American ships for American commerce!!” A huge steamship appears in the background. Across a body of water is John Bull standing, in a state of shock, on the shore of “England” next to a sign that states, “John Bull – The old reliable ship builder since 1861. Ships for American commerce a speciality.” Caption: John Bull–Good ‘evins! – wotever ‘ll become of my ship-building monopoly, if that there Yankee is going to turn out boats like that right along?
