William McKinley is pictured as a snowman holding papers labeled “Prohbitory [sic] Tariff.” He is melting beneath a blazing sun labeled “Business Revival.” In the foreground, Matthew S. Quay and James D. Cameron try to scoop up the slush while Whitelaw Reid holds up a newspaper to block the sun. Standing on ladders are Charles W. Foster holding a thermometer that registers “Hot” and a fan, and Joseph B. Foraker holding up an umbrella labeled “Ohio Popularity” to keep the sun off McKinley. Benjamin Harrison is sitting on a fence in the background, whittling. Caption: And the protectionists can’t keep their snow man from rapidly melting away.
