EDITORS COMMENTS
In this satirical print, renowned British politician Joseph Chamberlain delivers his infamous speech at Bingley Hall, where he infamously used two loaves of bread, a baby, and a teacup to illustrate the proposed corn tax's impact on the size of a loaf. The cartoon, published in a liberal newspaper during the late 19th century, pokes fun at Chamberlain's protectionist policies and his preference for free trade rivals. Chamberlain, depicted here with a monocle and a smug expression, stands before a crowd of farmers and babies, holding up two loaves of bread - one fat and one thin. The caption reads, "Sir Joseph Chamberlain's Comparison - Two Loaves of Bread, One Free, One Protected." The thin loaf, labeled "Free Trade," is compared to the plump loaf, labeled "Protection," which is labeled as "Fattened by Tariffs." The baby in the foreground, representing the future generation, looks on in dismay, holding a teacup that is barely filled with tea. The caption below the baby reads, "What the Baby will get." The implication is that the proposed corn tax, or protectionist policies, will result in smaller portions for the common man, while the elite, like Chamberlain, will continue to enjoy their privileges. This historical print provides a humorous yet insightful commentary on the political debates of the time, highlighting the contrasting views on trade and the potential impact on the everyday lives of the people.
