1) Henry Demarest Lloyd s book Wealth Against Commonwealth and Jacob A. Riis s How the Other Half Lives shocked Americas! How did it do this and what were these books about? Henry Demarest Lloyd was critical of the Standard Oil Company in 1894 with his book, Wealth Against Commonwealth. Jacob A. Riis shocked middle-class Americans in 1890 with How the Other Half Lives, which described the slums of New York. 2)Do you remember what a Muckraker is (or was)? Who coined the term and name a few (at least 3) and what they raked up? Muckrakers were reform-minded journalists who wrote articles in magazines that exposed corruption and scandal. President Roosevelt coined this term. These reporters went after trusts and politicians. In 1902, New York reporter, Lincoln Steffens wrote "The Shame of the Cities" which unmasked the corrupt alliance between big business and municipal government. Ida M. Tarbell published a devastating depiction of the Standard Oil Company. David G. Phillips published a series, "The Treason of the Senate" in Cosmopolitan that charged that 75 of the 90 senators did not represent the people, but they rather represented railroads and trusts. Some of the most effective attacks of the muckrakers were directed at social evils. The suppression of America's blacks was shown in Ray Stannard's Following the Color Line (1908). John Spargo wrote of the abuses of child labor in The Bitter Cry of the Children (1906). 3)What type of person was a progressive reformer according to the text and what were there 2 main goals? ***Progressive reformers were mainly middle-class men and women. The progressives sought 2 goals: 1) To use state power to control trusts 2) To improve the common person's conditions of life and labor. Progressives wanted to regain the power that had shifted from the hands of the people into those of the "interests." Progressives supported the "initiative" so that voters could directly propose legislation. They also supported the "referendum" and the "recall," which allowed voters to directly vote on laws to remove corrupt elected officials, respectively.
4)Explain the cases of Muller vs. Oregon (1908), and Lochner vs. New York (1905)... What were they about and why would these be court cases (do you support them)? In Muller vs. Oregon (1908), the Supreme Court ruled that it was constitutional to enact laws that specifically protected women factory workers. Lochner vs. New York (1905) invalidated a New York law that limited the work day to 10 hours for bakers. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ #5 DISCUSSION AND CONTINUE YOUR BUMPER STICKERS! 5) What was TR S Square Deal and look up the Roosevelt Corollary (Index)! President Roosevelt believed in the progressive reform. He enacted a "Square Deal" program that consisted of 3 parts: control of the corporations, consumer protection, and conservation of natural resources. In 1902, coal miners in Pennsylvania went on strike and demanded a 20% raise in pay and a workday decrease from 10 hours to 9 hours. When mine spokesman, George F. Baer refused to negotiate, President Roosevelt stepped in and threatened to operate the mines with federal troops. A deal was struck in which the miners received a 10% pay raise and 9 hour workday. The increasing hostilities between capital and labor forced Congress to create the Department of Commerce in 1903. This department provided oversight of businesses engaged in interstate commerce.
