A sleepy Uncle Sam, wearing a robe, stands in the snow marked with “$” at the foot of snow-covered steps, with the “U.S. Treasury” in the background. He is handing a shovel labeled “Repeal of the Silver Coinage Law” to a diminutive man labeled “Buckner” with papers in his pocket labeled “Chairman Coinage Com.” who refuses to take it, saying he’ll come back later. Liberty observes from a window behind Uncle Sam. Caption: Buckner “Not just now – I’ll see you later!”
