[i]Excerpt from The Jungle by Upton Sinclair



"These rats were nuisances, and the packers would put poisoned bread out for them: they would die, and then rats, bread, and meat would go into the hoppers together. This is no fairy story and no joke...there were things that went into the sausage in comparison with which a poisoned rat was a tidbit."[/i]

[i]"...To those of my race who depend on bettering their condition in a foreign

land or who underestimate the importance of cultivating friendly relations with

the Southern white man, who is their next-door neighbor, I would say: "Cast

down your bucket where you are"— cast it down in making friends in every manly way of the people of all races by whom we are surrounded.



Cast it down in agriculture, mechanics, in commerce, in domestic service,

and in the professions. And in this connection it is well to bear in mind that

whatever other sins the South may be called to bear, when it comes to business, pure and simple, it is in the South that the Negro is given a man's chance in the commercial world, and in nothing is this Exposition more eloquent than in emphasizing this chance. Our greatest danger is that in the great leap from slavery to freedom we may overlook the fact that the masses of us are to live by the productions of our hands, and fail to keep in mind that we shall prosper in proportion as we learn to dignify and glorify common labour, and put brains and skill into the common occupations of life; shall prosper in proportion as we learn to draw the line between the superficial and the substantial, the

ornamental gewgaws of life and the useful. No race can prosper till it learns

that there is as much dignity in tilling a field as in writing a poem..."[/i]
