Excerpt 1: Excerpt from a book by muckraker Lincoln Steffens, The Shame of Cities, published in 1904.
The typical American citizen is a businessman. The spirit of business is profit, not patriotism, individual gain, not national prosperity. âMy business is sacred,â says the businessman in his heart. âWhatever helps my business, is good; it must be. Whatever hurts it, is wrong; it must be. A bribe is bad, that is, it is a bad thing to take; but it is not so bad to give one, not if it is necessary to my business.â
Excerpt 2: Excerpt from a talk by George Plunkitt, a political boss in New York City. The talk was called âHonest Graft and Dishonest Graft,â recorded in 1905.
Iâve been readinâ a book by Lincoln Steffens on The Shame of the Cities. Steffens means well, but like all reformers, he donât know how to make distinctions. He canât see no difference between honest graft and dishonest graft and, consequently, he gets things all mixed up. . . . For instance, I ainât no looter. The looter hogs it. I never hogged. I made my money in politics, but at the same time, I served the organization and got more big improvements for New York City than any other livinâ man.
