“Captain Bill McKinley” stands at the bow of a steamboat labeled “High Protection” and “Monopoly & Co. builders” that has been patched in several places, lists to the stern, and is overloaded with passengers. Mark A. Hanna is standing at the helm in the pilothouse. McKinley is inviting more people to board while the boat is still at dock. A large sign on the wharf states, “Grand Excursion to Washington in the Elegant Steamer ‘High Protection,’ Bill McKinley, Captain. A Fortune Guaranteed for every Passenger!!! No More Debts!! No More Mortgages!! No More Poverty!! No More Work!!!!”
