During the Panic of 1873, Germany overcame Britain's as the top economy in Europe, while the latter stagnated until 1897.
What PoD in the 1870's (the closer to 1874, the better) helps Britain avoid this fate? Ideally, keep them as the top economy in Europe until at least the dawn of the 20th Century. What are the effects of this (geopolitically, etc)? What other effects could come about from the given PoD?
(Preemptive quibble: I prefer a non political PoD, and if it is political, a non American one -- this means no stopping the Panic by vetoing the Coinage Act of 1873, as tempting as that may be...)
