Cartoon, The Protection Giant
Cartoon, The Protection Giant -- Fee, Fi, Fo, Fum! I smell the Blood of an Englishman; Be he Alive, or be he Dead, I ll grind his Bones to make my Bread. Lord Derby as Conservative Prime Minister and Benjamin Disraeli as Chancellor of the Exchequer are satirically depicted as supporters of Protectionism, thanks to their lack of clear support for Free Trade after the repeal of the Corn Laws. As a result of their ambiguous attitude, the Anti-Corn-Law League had been revived in Manchester, represented by the small man on the right.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This satirical cartoon, titled "The Protection Giant" or "Fee, Fi, Fo, Fum! I smell the Blood of an Englishman; Be he Alive, or be he Dead, I'll grind his Bones to make my Bread," was published in 1852 during the 1850s in Victorian Britain. The cartoon satirically depicts the political climate surrounding the ambiguous stance of Conservative Prime Minister, Lord Derby (left), and Chancellor of the Exchequer, Benjamin Disraeli (right), towards Free Trade after the repeal of the Corn Laws. The Protection Giant, a big, fat monster with the heads of Lord Derby and Disraeli, symbolizes their support for Protectionism. The giant's club represents the protectionist policies they were advocating for, which threatened to grind the economy to a halt. The small man on the right, representing the Anti-Corn-Law League, is shown trying to revive the league in Manchester in response to the protectionist policies. The cartoon's title is a reference to the classic children's story "Jack and the Beanstalk," where the giant cries out, "Fee, Fi, Fo, Fum! I smell the Blood of an Englishman; Be he alive, or be he dead, I'll grind his bones to make my bread." This line highlights the destructive and ravenous nature of the Protectionist policies, which threatened to consume the economy. The cartoon's commentary on the political climate of the time is both symbolic and humorous, using satire to highlight the potential consequences of protectionist policies. The cartoon serves as a reminder of the ongoing debates and tensions surrounding economic policies during the 19th century in Britain.
