William L. Wilson appears as a soldier wearing a helmet labeled “Tariff Reform” and holding a rifle labeled “Enlightenment” with fixed bayonet, with which he prevents William McKinley from advancing. McKinley is dressed as a Chinese man with a hat labeled “McKinleyism,” an amulet labeled “Monopoly,” and a medal that states “The Foreigner Pays the Tax.” He is holding a large sword labeled “Fallacious Arguments” and a shield labeled “Trusts,” and his long pigtail is wrapped around a post labeled “Played Out Protection Ideas.” Caption: Superstition and old-fogyism must be conquered in the end by enlightenment and progressiveness.
