Roosevelt is running towards the right side of the image while holding the hand of a smaller child labeled “Panama Canal” in one hand, and a paper on which is written “markets of the world” in the other. Behind the two figures is a large wall labeled “$acred tariff wall” on top of which sit a large man whose hat reads “the trusts” and the Republican elephant. The man looks angry, and gestures towards Roosevelt with a stick, while the elephant looks shocked. Far in the background are smokestacks.
