Summary: Illustration shows a perplexed Uncle Sam standing in front of a store labeled 'Notice - No Reciprocity in Trade Here' that is well-stocked with items available for international trade; a man labeled 'Trade' is asleep at the counter. Across the narrow street of the marketplace sits Otto von Bismarck selling maps, and in the background are Nicholas II, holding a piece of paper that states 'Let us have Truce', and John Bull shaking hands in front of their trade houses; a sign on the English shop states 'Reciprocity in Trade'. There is a small dog, wearing a fez, standing in the middle of the street.
Notes:
Title from item.
Caption: Uncle Sam 'Darned if I ain't left again! I'm overstocked, I've got all the blessings of a high tariff, and here these fellows won't fight and give me a chance to sell my goods.'
