President McKinley, wearing a long cape labeled “Protection Monomania,” sits at a desk working on his “Tariff Plans,” while ignoring a businessman who offers “Suggestions for Financial Reform.” In baskets beneath the desk are papers that state, “Don’t forget the issues of the last campaign. [signed] A Banker” and, “Please give a little attention to the money question. [signed] Businessman.” Caption: Citizen–Mr. McKinley, I have called to offer a few suggestions about some needed reforms of our financial system. / McKinley–My dear sir, you must excuse me; – I’ve turned all that over to Senator Wolcott.
