EDITORS COMMENTS
Bribe Takers Both, Puck Magazine, September 5, 1906 This political cartoon from Puck Magazine, published on September 5, 1906, vividly illustrates the rampant corruption and influence peddling that permeated American politics during the Progressive Era. The cartoon depicts two individuals, labeled as "Tariff Coddled Manufacturer" on the left and a "diminutive man" on the right, both engaging in bribery while casting their votes. On the left, the manufacturer is shown voting with one hand while receiving a bribe in the form of a "High-Protection Schedule" from a large hand labeled "Rep. Congress," extending from above the US Capitol. The manufacturer's greed is evident as he eagerly accepts the bribe, demonstrating the corrupt relationship between big business and politicians. On the right, a diminutive man is shown voting with one hand while receiving money with the other from a man leaning out of a saloon. This scene represents the widespread corruption in local politics, where voters could be bought for a few dollars. The cartoon serves as a powerful commentary on the corrupt political climate of the time, highlighting the urgent need for reform. The Progressive Movement, which advocated for greater transparency, accountability, and the reduction of special interest influence, gained momentum in the aftermath of such revelations. This cartoon is a poignant reminder of the historical context that shaped the political landscape of the early 20th century, and the ongoing struggle to uphold the integrity of the democratic process.
