EDITORS COMMENTS
This illustration from the October 14, 1885 edition of the New York Star showcases a vignette cartoon titled "The Custom-House Code of Morals under Our Beautiful Tariff System." The central figure in the scene is William Dorsheimer, seated in his office at the United States District Attorney and Editorial Rooms of the New York Star. He is engrossed in a letter from Daniel Manning, the Secretary of the Treasury, urging him to put a swift end to the rampant bribery among the employees of the Custom House. The surrounding cartoons depict various instances of travelers returning from abroad attempting to bribe Custom officials. One such scene features a sketch by the special artist, Puck, showing a Custom official on his way home, burdened with merchandise in the form of bribes. The caption beneath the image reads, "The 'Custom-House Code of Morals' in Operation." The illustration serves as a stark reminder of the corruption that plagued the Custom House during the late 19th century. The beautiful tariff system, intended to protect American industries and generate revenue, had unfortunately given rise to a culture of bribery and deceit. The cartoon's satirical commentary sheds light on the urgent need for reform and the efforts being made to address this issue head-on. The intricately detailed illustration, with its vibrant colors and engaging storytelling, is a testament to the power of visual journalism in raising awareness and sparking public discourse on important social issues of the time.
