Alton B. Parker pushes his head against a large statue labeled “36 years of Republican rule.” A “nomination” paper in his top hat. The statue includes a number of events that have occurred during Republican rule: “established the gold standard,” “prosperity,” “all the anti-trust legislation,” “protection,” “the construction of the Panama Canal a certainty,” “expansion,” and “Sherman law enforced by a Rep. president.” The statue has a woman—”freedom”—at the top which overlooks the United States Capitol building.
