Description: Poster for the successful 1896 presidential campaign of Governor William McKinley of Ohio and Garret Hobart of New Jersey. "Our home defenders": Republican Party presidential campaign poster shows head-and-shoulder portraits of William McKinley holding U.S. flag and standing on the gold coin of "sound money," held up by a group of men in front of the ships "commerce" and the factories "civilization." The print was intended to show the beneficial aspects of the Republican Party protectionist policy compared to the detrimental impact of the Democratic Party's free trade policy.
