William L. Wilson stands in the street outside the White House, holding open a large carpet bag labeled “Wilson’s Free List” which contains papers labeled “Free Wool.” He has an umbrella labeled “Income Tax” under his left arm. Sitting next to him on the street is the donkey labeled “Dem. Party” that he had been riding. Several men, four of them identified as “Gorman, Brice, McPherson, [and] Faulkner,” have robbed him of papers labeled “Free Iron, Free Sugar, Free Lumber, [and] Free Coal” and are walking up the street toward the U.S. Capitol, visible in the background. Caption: “Gee whiz! And it’s a wonder they left that!”
