To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The people of this land want the facts about the tariff. You cannot humbug them with your " ninety per cent, ad valorem on blankets, " and "eighty per cent, on clothing. " They understand that over sixty per cent, of their income goes for food, which is cheaper here than anywhere on earth ; and they also know that the average of seventeen per cent, of their income which is expended on clothing can be laid out to as good advantage in the New York market as in the Lon- don market. They also know ...that the development of these great in- dustries under a protective tariff has had much to do with cheapening all commodities that enter into general consumption. What is true of wool applies with equal force to the other articles pro- posed for the free list, but which the President does not specifically men- tion. It will be a fatal mistake to put iron ore, coal, manufactured lumber, salt or flax upon the free list. Under the tariff, the iron ore product has increased from 1, 000, 000 to 10, 000, 000 tons annually.
