Puck offers an “Anti Silver Coinage” snow shovel to William M. Evarts during a snowstorm that is depositing silver coins on the grounds of the U.S. Capitol and the Department of Treasury building, where a group of men labeled “Warner, Vance, Beck, Pugh, Eustis, Jones, Manning, Edmunds, [Mc]Pherson, [and] Bland” are gathering up coins for a snowball fight. Uncle Sam is caught in the storm on the right, whereas on the left and to the west, a “Twenty Dollars” gold piece sets like the sun over a prosperous and expanding nation. Between them are “Closed” snowbound factories. Caption: Puck – “Now, Mr. Evarts, New York expects you to take right hold and help shovel Uncle Sam out of this silver trouble.”

A sleepy Uncle Sam, wearing a robe, stands in the snow marked with “$” at the foot of snow-covered steps, with the “U.S. Treasury” in the background. He is handing a shovel labeled “Repeal of the Silver Coinage Law” to a diminutive man labeled “Buckner” with papers in his pocket labeled “Chairman Coinage Com.” who refuses to take it, saying he’ll come back later. Liberty observes from a window behind Uncle Sam. Caption: Buckner “Not just now – I’ll see you later!”
