The old story
Puck, holding a lithographic pen, talks to President McKinley. The latter is depicted as a “shiftless tenant” sitting in a rocking chair while the roof labeled “Bad Currency System” on his house deteriorates, creating a large hole. Caption: Puck–You couldn’t mend that roof when it was raining – why not mend it now? / Shiftless Tenant–What’s the use of mending it now? The sun is shining!
