"One-Sided Free Trade" is a political cartoon created by the British cartoonist Tom Merry, which was published in 1886. This piece of satirical artwork provides a critical commentary on the concept of free trade from the perspective of those who felt that such policies could be detrimental to domestic industries and workers. The cartoon is a visual representation of the concerns and debates surrounding the economic policies of the time, particularly in the context of the British Empire, which was grappling with the balance between protectionism and free trade.

In the cartoon, Tom Merry illustrates the perceived imbalance in trade relations, where one nation adopts free trade policies while its competitors do not, leading to a situation that critics argued was unfair and damaging to the free-trading nation's economic interests. The artwork serves as a historical document, capturing the economic sentiments of a segment of the British population during the late 19th century. It reflects the complexities of international trade policies and the impact of such policies on national economies and public opinion.

As a piece of political commentary, "One-Sided Free Trade" is significant for its contribution to the public discourse on trade and protectionism. It is an example of how art and satire can influence and reflect political thought and social attitudes. The cartoon remains a relevant artifact for historians and economists studying the era, as well as for those interested in the history of political cartooning and its role in shaping public perception and debate.
