A well-dressed, grand old woman sits in a chair, with a comb labeled “Republican Party” in her hair, and newspapers on the floor around her with headlines “Evening Reporter – Commerce Picking Up All Along the Line” and “Morning Verity – Trade Getting Brisk Since the Passage of the Wilson Bill.” She is holding the “Daily Facts – Increased Activity in Business on Account of the New Tariff.” There is a steaming pot of tea on the table next to her. She is imagining a scene where a street in the business district is filled with a procession of women shoppers carrying placards that state, “Under the Democratic Tariff We Live in a Golden Age of Business!!!”, “1896 – We, the Shopping Women of America, Favor the Democrats Because Their Tariff Bill Favors Our Pocket Books!!!”, and “Thanks to the Democrats Shopping is Now a Joy Forever.” Caption: The Republican Party sees the Democrats, in 1896, winning back their old and powerful ally, the “shopping woman.”
