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.
