What the tenements are and how they grow to what they are, we shall see hereafter. The story is dark enough, drawn from the plain public records, to send a chill to any heart. If it shall appear that the sufferings and the sins of the “other half,” and the evil they breed, are but as a just punishment upon the community that gave it no other choice, it will be because that is the truth. The boundary line lies there because, while the forces for good on one side vastly outweigh the bad—it were not well otherwise—in the tenements all the influences make for evil; because they are the hot-beds of the epidemics that carry death to rich and poor alike; the nurseries of pauperism and crime that fill our jails and police courts; that throw off a scum of forty thousand human wrecks to the island asylums and workhouses year by year; that turned out in the last eight years a round half million beggars to prey upon our charities; that maintain a standing army of ten thousand tramps with all that that implies; because, above all, they touch the family life with deadly moral contagion. This is their worst crime, inseparable from the system. That we have to own it the child of our own wrong does not excuse it, even though it gives it claim upon our utmost patience and tenderest charity.

Jacob Riis tells us that the evil of the “other half” is caused by us. He tells us that they are living in “hotbeds” of illnesses that bring them nothing but death. Over forty thousand immigrants came annually falling prey to charities of the United States. Riis goes on to basically say the government is the reason for the immigrants acting the way the did and they should bring responsible and taking the blame for their wrongs. ]]> 2019-01-31 14:51:42 UTC https://padlet.com/jbatt0508/Unit2_Project/wish/326289098 thyma0559 https://padlet.com/jbatt0508/Unit2_Project/wish/326289280 http://www.politicsarchive.com/election-of-1912-wilson.html

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.]]> 2019-01-31 14:55:47 UTC https://padlet.com/jbatt0508/Unit2_Project/wish/326291468 jbatt0508 https://padlet.com/jbatt0508/Unit2_Project/wish/326737062 In the picture its shows the court case Plessy V. Ferguson. The cartoon has two water fountains, one for the blacks and one for the whites. The Water fountain for the Whites is higher class and it looks more appealing but the fountain for the Blacks is plain and more raggedy. The outcome of the case Plessy V. Ferguson was supposed to be " seperate but equal" but it was not equal and the cartoon illustrates that with the words " SEPERATE BUT NOT EQUAL". So overall the cartoon is showing us that it is not equal and nothing has changed for black rights in the Progressive Era.
