I think that this cartoon is showing the United States after it acquired the Philippines. The cartoon is depicting that the United States opened the gates to the Philippines and allowed other countries to come in and do what they pleased.
I think that the meaning of this cartoon is about the United States gaining all of it's territories and planning to take some sort of care of them. The eagle is standing in the United States and has its wings spread out over the globe. This shows how the United States is literally taking these new territories "under its wing".

I think that the meaning of this cartoon is about how the United States was being hypocritical. The skeleton coming out of Uncle Sam's closet has a sign saying "American Exclusion of Chinese" while Uncle Sam holds a piece of paper saying "Protest Against Russian Exclusion of Jewish Americans". This cartoon is showing how the United States was being unfair and wanting no exclusion for their own people in other countries while they were simultaneously excluding the Chinese.
