As a result of this policy the Standard Oil Company is seldom bothered with strikes, and most of its workers have no connection with labor unions, do not listen to muck-rakers and other vile breeders of social discontent, and are quite satisfied with their little round of duties and their secure prospects in life.... Surely nobody has given more convincing arguments than Mr.
'High brows, 'dreamers, 'ghost walkers, 'barkers, 'biters, 'muck-rakers! Oh, he knew the choice names that lawless greed cast at such as he; but a greater than he had said something about the meek and the inheritance of the earth; and there lay the work of the snow flake across the trail. "I suppose," he remarked absently, "it's our duty to go down and dig those dead duffers out."
They were people to whom good taste was the first of all the virtues; he knew how he was offending them. If he was to win them to the least extent, he must explain his presence here a trespasser upon the property of the Harrigans. "Percy," he continued, "you remember how you used to jump on me last year at college, because I listened to 'muck-rakers. You saw fit to take personal offence at it.
As one of America's head muck-rakers, I found that I was popular with the British ruling classes; they found my books useful in their campaigns against democracy, and they were surprised and disconcerted when they found I did not agree with their interpretation of my writings. I had told of corruption in American politics; surely I must know that in England they had no such evils!
Go on and fight the muckers and the muck-rakers, and don't let the reporters or the preachers scare you away from doing the one right thing."

Jim had publicity enough, and he did not care to add to it by a libel suit, nor could he bring himself to make a personal attack on any of his pursuers.
"Haven't you finished your tiresome discussions?" asked Natalie. "Mr. Trevor has almost convinced me that the octopus is a noble creature, filled with high ideals and writhing at the thrusts of the muck-rakers," Eliza told them. But at that the engineer protested. "No, no!" he said. "I haven't half done justice to the subject.
Do you think the price paltry and the payment small that has been made for us by this great Lamb?" "Be a sinner, and sin bravely, but believe more bravely still" this is the chef d'oeuvre of the muck-rakers in Luther's life. The reader has the entire passage which contains the outrageous statement of Luther before him, and will be able to judge the connection in which the words occur.
At first this devil-theory had satisfied the boy; but later on, as he had come to read and observe, he had been plagued by doubts. In the end, listening to his brother's conversation, and reading the writings of so-called "muck-rakers," the realisation was forced upon him that there were two types of mind in the controversy those who thought of profits, and those who thought of human beings.
But in one respect the worker today is much better off. At the time we are speaking of, the facts of the wrong conditions, the low wages, the long hours, and the many irritating tyrannies the workers had to bear, only rarely reached the public ear. Let us thank God for our muck-rakers.
The latter was an outsider, but they had heard great things of her. "Cooked," said the muck-rakers wisely, and, thinking it was a show-down for the favorite, stacked every cent they had on Swallow. No long shots for them.
