| Details |
Cartoon, The Indignant Bystander -- in a fairground analogy, Gladstone criticises the Conservative government's Savings Banks Bill, which was later withdrawn. John Bull looks at three options on the table: Old Savings Banks, Friendly Societies and Post Office Savings Banks. Benjamin Disraeli as a Simple Countryman tells John Bull not to take any notice of Gladstone -- he used to do similar work himself, and he's only criticising out of spite.
