Carrying the DeficitSeptember 2, 1904 James McCleary of Minnesota, for Chairman of Appropriation’s Committee, suggests to Uncle Sam that Coffee should carry the deficit; all ignore the large figure of Monopoly on his long-legged High Tariff horse in the background. The caption reads “Mr. McCleary - He’s good and strong, let him carry it.” McCleary was an opponent of any tariff revision that would harm American companies, but still called for a deficit reduction.
