Summary: An illustrated sheet music cover for a song composed in honor of Republican presidential candidate Rutherford B. Hayes. Uncle Sam sits atop a hay wain labeled 'Hayes.' A large American flag with a liberty cap and a wreath appears next to him. Tied to a pitchfork on the side of the wagon is a banner reading, 'A Good Honest Load of Hayes on the Way to Washington.' The wagon's large front wheel is inscribed 'Hard Money Wheeler Gold Basis,' a reference to Hayes's advocacy of a hard currency, based on redeemability for specie. The Hayes wagon crosses a bridge over a small stream in which float bags of 'Rag Money,' or worthless currency. The wagon is pulled across the bridge and toward the U.S. Capitol (here naively labeled 'White House') by a team of oxen, each bearing a flag inscribed with a state name. Several farmers or herdsmen accompany the oxen. Two black youths wave from a nearby fence. In the middleground is a signpost, 'National Road Ohio to Washington.' (Hayes went from being governor of Ohio to President of the United States.) 'Honest Money Paid Here' is written in the sky above the Capitol.
