There are lots of chores around the place he could do

In this cartoon by Carey Orr, a moneybag drawn to look like a boy, "American capital," carries a fishing pole to the end of a dock, where a fish, "8% interest," is visible in the water, "Europe," and a sign reads, "danger--deep water." In the background Uncle Sam scratches his head from behind a gate, "U.S.A.," where various supplies and tools are labeled, "farm financing," "flood control," "waterway development," "electrification of our railroads," "American investments," and "reforestation."
