The quote on the back is a reference to a political issue that was hot in the first part of the 20th century, namely whether labor unions were in violation of the Sherman Anti Trust Act when they worked with other groups to organize strikes. That position was held by businesses (as an effort to eliminate strikes).
Not likely to be a Republican campaign motto.
The image on the front doesn't look like McKinley either. Bryan was much more pro labor unions and the whole labor movement, and he was noticeably more bald than McKinley, so of the two choices he would be the more likely.
However, a third option to consider is Eugene Debs, who ran as the Socialist Candidate in 1904, 1908, 1912 & 1920. He was also noticeably bald, balder than even Bryan in photos from the earlier years, and would have run on a very strong pro-union platform.
I'd search Debs campaign memorabilia first because the quote is so pro labor union.
