Two men struggle to keep a small boat in rough waters from foundering against the “Administration Light,” a lighthouse in the shape of Theodore Roosevelt’s face. The larger man is J. P. “Morgan.” The smaller man, James J. “Hill,” holds a rope in the form of a ticker tape labeled the “New York Stock Market.” In the rough waters are both “undigested securities” and “circuit court decisions.” The flag hoisted on the mast is labeled with a dollar sign.
