1. The lions stand the "kings" of wall street. They are the companies and trusties that control wallstreet and makes it corrupt. 2. The lions are coming out of the door labeled "Wall St." because President Roosevelt was able to tame and control all the big companies on wall street. He was able to fix the Sherman Antitrust Act by not getting rid of all the trusts but only the harmful ones who took advantage of the lack of competition to jack up the prices. 3. The cartoonist thinks that the trustbusting is great because there is no more monopoly. All the big companies who control wall streets came together to build a trust and as a trust they took over wall street, but now through President Roosevelt there is no more monopoly. All the big trusts lost their power and got handed all to the President. The cartoonist thinks that the President will take care of the people now and make sure nothing similar to a monopoly will happen again. This is supported by the lions bowing down to President Roosevelt. Also a punishment is coming for those trusts who took advantage of lack of competition hence President Roosevelt holding a whip to tame the lions.
