Protest was crudely but plainly indicated in the cover design, labeled "Saint Andy of Pittsburgh." It showed a cadaverous, ansel-winged Andrew Mellon against a red sky, plucking a harp above a sordid panorama of smoking mill chimneys, squalid shacks, starved workers, silk-hatted bankers slipping money to corrupt politicians.
