“Gen. Coxey” carries a sword labeled “Sensation” and leads a band of disgruntled citizens marching under the banner, “We Want $500,000,000 in Irredeemable Money! and Death to Interest on Bonds!” They are chasing soap bubbles and balloons labeled, “Don’t help yourself get the government to help you!, Paternalism, It is the duty of the government to furnish work to the unemployed, [and] The government must pay the freight!” William McKinley, holding a bowl labeled “McKinley’s Soft Soap Bubbles,” Benjamin Harrison, and Thomas B. Reed appear as spirits leading Coxey’s Army toward the edge of a cliff.
