William Jennings Bryan is pictured as a puppet being manipulated by a well-dressed man sitting on a large money bag labeled “Silver Mining Syndicate” and listing names and dollar amounts: “Hearst $75,000,000, Fair 40,000,000, Mackay 40,000,000, Wm. Stewart 40,000,000, W. A. Clark 30,000,000, Moffatt 30,000,000 [and] J. P. Jones 25,000,000.” Byran is holding cymbals labeled “Free Silver and Prosperity” and “Promises of Good Wages.” His audience is a laborer with his lunch pail labeled “Labor” and in his back pocket a “Bank Book.” Caption: They can never catch American labor with that combination.
