Each mosquito is labeled with a different moniker, representing various corrupting influences in politics at the time, such as Sectionalism, Subsidized Senator, Lobbyist, Graft, Kept Congressman, Protected Monopoly, Over-Protected, and Infant Industry.

The cartoon serves as a stark reminder of the need for transparency, accountability, and reform in government, themes that remain relevant in today's political landscape." This description highlights the historical significance of the image and its connection to political corruption and the need for reform.
