In the fall of 1871, . . . certain Pennsylvania refiners brought to [Rockefeller and his
partners] a remarkable scheme, the gist of which was to bring together secretly a
large enough body of refiners and shippers to persuade all the railroads handling
oil to give to the company formed [the new trust] special rebates on its oil, and
drawbacks [refunds] on that of other people. If they could get such rates, it was
evident that [other companies] could not compete with them long and that they
would become eventually the only refiners. They could then limit their output
to actual demand, and so keep up prices. . . . [They] began at once to work up a
company—secretly. It was evident that a scheme which aimed at concentrating
in the hands of one company the business now operated by scores [a “score” is
twenty] . . . must be worked with fine discretion if it ever were to be effective.
. . . In order that their great scheme might not be injured by premature public
discussion they asked of each [potential partner] whom they approached a pledge
of secrecy.
Excerpt 2
. . . There were at that time some twenty-six refineries in the town [of Cleveland]—
some of them very large plants. All of them were feeling more or less the
discouraging effects of the last three or four years of railroad discriminations
in favour of the Standard Oil Company. To the owners of these refineries Mr.
Rockefeller now went one by one, and explained the South Improvement
Company [the new trust]. “You see,” he told them, “this scheme is bound to work.
It means an absolute control by us of the oil business. There is no chance for
anyone outside. But we are going to give everybody a chance to come in. You
are to turn over your refinery to my appraisers [evaluators], and I will give you
Standard Oil Company stock or cash, as you prefer, for the value we put upon it.
I advise you to take the stock. It will be for your good.” Certain refiners objected.

summary: The people had something to say about the oil and the people were talking about refunds which were the drawbacks . The oil company had said they can either choose stock or cash but the people said they advise them to take the stock.

Many people really didn't like the idea of his Progressive Idea because of how he was. Taft signed into higher Tariff, people thought he wasn't doing it for the right reasons. It relates to progressive era because he betrayed the progressivism.

The men upon the killing beds [meatpacking plants where animals were butchered]
felt also the effects of the slump which had turned Marija out; but they felt it in a
different way. . . . The big packers did not turn their hands [workers] off and close
down, like the canning factories; but they began to run for shorter and shorter
hours. They had always required the men to be on the killing beds and ready for
work at seven o’clock, although there was almost never any work to be done till the
buyers out in the yards had gotten to work, and some cattle had come over the
chutes. That would often be ten or eleven o’clock . . . [but now] they would perhaps
not have a thing for their men to do till late in the afternoon. And so they would
have to loaf around, in a place where the thermometer might be twenty degrees
below zero! . . . Before the day was over they would become quite chilled through
and exhausted, and, when the cattle finally came, so near frozen that to move was
an agony. . . .
There were weeks at a time when Jurgis went home after such a day as this with
not more than two hours’ work to his credit—which meant about thirty-five cents.
There were many days when the total was less than half an hour, and others when
there was none at all. . . .

Summary:Upton Sinclair wanted everything to be right and wanted to people to see how disgusting the meat was handled or how it was presented. They required so much of the workers it made no sense with having many difficult tasks and them obeying the tasks made them go threw things that weren't normal.
