Two medieval monks labeled “McKinley” and “Reed” construct a wall using blocks labeled “War Tax on Dinner Pails, Heavy Duty on Laborers Tools, Prohibitory Duty on Necessaries, High Duty on Raw Materials, Unjust Tax on Farmers Implements, Burdensome Tariff on Clothing, Duty on Iron, Duty on Steel, [and] Class Legislation” and cement labeled “Monopoly Mortar” to bury alive a female figure labeled “American Industries.” Arriving “in the nick of time” is William L. Wilson with a sword labeled “Wilson Bill” to put a stop to the punishment and torture of “our industries.” Caption: Rescuer Wilson comes none too soon to prevent the Republican monks from walling up our industries alive, in the true old Mediæval style.
