Print shows a well-dressed, grand old woman sitting in a chair, with a comb labeled "Republican Party" in her hair, and newspapers on the floor around her with headlines "Evening Reporter - Commerce Picking Up All Along the Line", "Morning Verity - Trade Getting Brisk Since the Passage of the Wilson Bill", and holding the "Daily Facts - Increased Activity in Business on Account of the New Tariff". There is a steaming pot of tea on the table next to her. She is imagining a scene where a street in the business district is filled with a procession of women shoppers carrying placards that state "Under the Democratic Tariff We Live in a Golden Age of Business!!!", "1896 - We, the Shopping Women of America, Favor the Democrats Because Their Tariff Bill Favors Our Pocket Books!!!", and "Thanks to the Democrats Shopping is Now a Joy Forever".

Caption: The Republican Party sees the Democrats, in 1896, winning back their old and powerful ally, the "shopping woman."
Illus. from Puck, v. 36, no. 920, (1894 October 24), centerfold.
