Complete HarpWeek Explanation:
For the third time, cartoonist W. A. Rogers caricatures Governor William McKinley as Napoleon. Here, he criticizes the Republican presidential candidate’s silence on major policy questions. McKinley/Napoleon juggles the issues of a gold cannon ball, trade protection umbrella, Populist silver bug, and silver bag of tricks. |
