EDITORS COMMENTS
This cartoon, titled 'The Indignant Bystander' or 'Gladstone and Disraeli,' dates back to 1875, during the tumultuous political climate of the Victorian era in Britain. The cartoon, published during the 1870s, depicts a lively exchange between two prominent politicians, William Gladstone of the Liberal Party and Benjamin Disraeli of the Conservative Party. In this intriguing scene, John Bull, a symbol of the British common man, stands in a fairground setting, scrutinizing three options on the table: Old Savings Banks, Friendly Societies, and Post Office Savings Banks. Gladstone, wearing a top hat and holding a cane, is seen passionately criticizing the Conservative government's Savings Banks Bill, which was later withdrawn. Disraeli, portrayed as a simple countryman, dons a flat cap and attempts to calm John Bull, urging him not to pay heed to Gladstone's criticisms. Disraeli, who was also a former Chancellor of the Exchequer under the Conservative government, insinuates that Gladstone's opposition is motivated by spite rather than genuine concern. The cartoon, with its clever use of symbolism and satire, encapsulates the intense political rivalry between the two parties and their leaders. The intriguing interplay between Gladstone and Disraeli, as well as the broader context of the Savings Banks Bill, offers a fascinating glimpse into the political landscape of 19th-century Britain.
