Schwan, and David Widger  a"How Members of Congress Are Bribed" by J. Hampton Moore is a political treatise written in the late 19th century. The book serves as a critical examination of corruption within the U.S. Congress, particularly focusing on the influence of lobbyists and the bribery tactics employed by powerful railroad magnates, such as Collis P. Huntington. The author presents a passionate argument against the detrimental impact of such corruption on American democracy and public welfare.  In this open letter, Moore exposes the depths of political corruption through a compilation of letters between Huntington and other railroad executives, revealing their methods of persuading public officials with money and promises. The text details how these lobbyists exploit their influence to manipulate legislation that serves their interests at the cost of the public good. Moore emphasizes the urgency of addressing these issues and petitions Congress to take action against the corruption undermining governance, highlighting the broader implications for the integrity and future of American democracy.
