EDITORS COMMENTS
Cartoon: So Just! -- Just So! (Disraeli, 1874) This satirical cartoon, titled "So Just! -- Just So!" from 1874, offers a humorous commentary on the political landscape of the time, specifically focusing on the efforts of British Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli to address the contentious issues of labor relations and finance. In this illustration, Disraeli is depicted as a female figure of Justice, donning a flowing robe and a Republican cap, symbolizing his role in balancing the interests of labor and capital. The Justice figure is shown holding scales in one hand, representing the delicate balance Disraeli aimed to achieve. In the other hand, she holds a rolled-up Speech instead of the usual sword, emphasizing the power of words and legislation in resolving disputes. The background of the cartoon shows industrial unrest, with workers striking and factories in chaos. At the time, the country was grappling with financial instability and labor strife. However, new legislation was making its way through Parliament, including the Factory Act, which aimed to improve working conditions and reduce working hours. Disraeli's Conservative government was working to address these issues and bring about a sense of order and stability. This allegorical representation of Disraeli as a wise and just figure, effectively managing the scales of labor and capital, offers a metaphorical commentary on his political prowess and ability to bring about positive change in a time of turmoil. The cartoon's use of symbolism and satire highlights the political climate of the 1870s and the role of the Prime Minister in shaping the country's future.
