Caption

The keepers at the gate' A farmer on "Prosperity Road" stopped at a gate labelled "Dingley Tariff", standing in his wagon, handing a heavy bag labelled "Toll" to a well-dressed bloated man labelled "Monopoly" sitting on a large pile of moneybags labelled "Trust Profits"; a few bags labelled "Cereals" remain in the farmer's wagon. Further up the road behind the farmer is another farmer's wagon piled high with bags, the implication is that the majority of the bags represent "Trust Profits". President William McKinley is sitting in a chair on a porch at the gate, he is the gatekeeper.
