Bolshevism is illustrated in this cartoon as a large threatening black snake climbing out of his Russian tree over a fence, that is the U.S.A.

Cartoon is sardonic.
In the cartoon, Lady Liberty is depicted as opening up to the oppressed while an anarchist sneaks up behind her ready to destroy her despite the welcome. The anarchist holds a bomb and a knife to play upon the idea of his sinister being, while the Statue of Liberty wears an innocent and unsuspecting look upon her face. The sinister anarchist is also depicted as an immigrant (specifically, a European immigrant) in this cartoon to show the danger of immigration to America.

"The Fly" is meant to be the REDS sitting on Uncle Sam's brow, meanwhile he attempts to sway it with a heavy hammer which is illustrated as the Sedition Legislation passed during WWI.

Obviously, America wants the "Fly" swatted away but believes in a much more thought-through plan of removal.
Cartoon is ironic.
Uncle Sam limits the funnel of European immigration to only three percent being allowed to enter the U.S.A.
