Excerpt from Operations of the Civil Service
The witness Edward Jardine, a chief weigher, now in the service, testified (p. 162) that he could not undertake to say whether the men under him made contributions or not, adding, I imagine that they have done so.' If they did not they were very foolish, that is all.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book shines a light on politically motivated activities within the Civil Service of the United States during the 1880s. The author uses testimonies from a congressional investigation to uncover the ways in which partisan politics and personal interests influenced appointments, removals, and promotions within key federal agencies, such as the Treasury Department. Through detailed examples and analysis, this book exposes the extent to which political patronage and corruption undermined the principles of merit and fairness in government employment. It highlights the challenges and complexities of implementing civil service reform during that era and offers valuable insights into the ongoing struggle to maintain a nonpartisan and efficient public service.
