A car designed as the United States Capitol Building is labeled 61st Congress. Uncle Sam's stands to the left of the car, a man labeled Senate stands to the right, and a man labeled House kneels in front of the car holding tools. Puffs of smoke come from the car labeled Railroad Bill, Postal Savings, and Conservation. A sign labeled To Adjournment points right.

The title of the cartoon is from the Henry Wadsworth Longfellow poem The Building of a Ship. The House had finally passed some bills.
