The keepers at the gate / Keppler.
Summary
Print shows a farmer on "Prosperity Road" stopped at a gate labeled "Dingley Tariff", standing in his wagon, handing a heavy bag labeled "Toll" to a well-dressed bloated man labeled "Monopoly" sitting on a large pile of moneybags labeled "Trust Profits"; a few bags labeled "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.

Alois Senefelder, the inventor of lithography, introduced the subject of colored lithography in 1818. Printers in other countries, such as France and England, were also started producing color prints. The first American chromolithograph—a portrait of Reverend F. W. P. Greenwood—was created by William Sharp in 1840. Chromolithographs became so popular in American culture that the era has been labeled as "chromo civilization". During the Victorian times, chromolithographs populated children's and fine arts publications, as well as advertising art, in trade cards, labels, and posters. They were also used for advertisements, popular prints, and medical or scientific books.
