Summary

Description
English: Political cartoon from Puck magazine from 1881 by Joseph Keppler illustrating the dangers of monopoly. A snake representing Monopoly has the U.S. Capitol in the coils of its tail. The body has stripes with the names of prominent businessmen of the era. The snake's head has risen as if prepared to strike, threatening Columbia. At left Puck draws Uncle Sam's attention to the threatening snake, asking "What are you going to do about it?"
