illustrates Uncle Same kicking out a couple of Chinese immigrants. Uncle Sam has this bucket “Magic Washer”. I think that this can be seen a couple of different lights. One is‚ Uncle Same is washing away(getting ride of) the dirt that the Chinese have brought as well as the Chinese themselves. The text next to the Uncle Same states‚ “Don’t us this if you want to be dirty.” Another way it can be seen is that the Magic Washer takes care of the jobs that some of the Chinese had.

This is like trying to manipulate God: Wear this pendant and God will bless the holder
