A woman labeled “Business Interests” is drowning in a pond of silver coins labeled “85 cents.” She is wearing waterwings labeled “Patent Air-Bladder” and “Life Preserver,” “Makeshift Silver Certificate,” and “85-Cent Legal Tender Dollar,” from which air is escaping through several punctures. The U.S. Capitol is in the background and a long line of congressmen are departing “Homeward.”
