A large man labeled “Monopoly,” standing behind a panel and reaching around with his right arm, holds a diminutive figure labeled “Aldrich.” Aldrich is pointing to an image labeled, “What will happen if the Tariff [crossed-out] Currency [added] Bill is passed,” that has been projected onto the panel and shows a lean wolf prowling among the ruins of industrial buildings, banks, and homes. Uncle Sam, sitting in the foreground, his attention drawn by Aldrich, ponders the image. Caption: The Man Behind – He fell for it for twenty years on the tariff; maybe we can work it on the currency.
