The Liberty Bell lies on its side in a barren landscape with a large man labeled “Monopoly” sitting on the top. The crack in the bell is labeled “Plutocracy.” Many different groups of people, including a group of women, carry clappers for the bell. The clappers are labeled “Socialism, Tax Reform, The Oregon Idea, Woman Suffrage, Free Trade, [and] Protection.” Caption: Take your choice; but while that crack is in it, the Liberty Bell will never ring clear.
