To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The leaders of the "'solid South" resolved at Cincinnati that our workmen, mechanics, and manufacturers shall not be pro- tected against the influx into this country of the productions of laborers whose condition compels them to work for starvation wages I They are opposed to protection, and go for a " revenue tariff only. " If those who work in our coal-mines, workshops, and manufac- turing establishments desire to be put on the same footing with those employed at like work in foreign countrie...s, let them vote with the " solid South " in November. A book has recently been written in iMigland and sent here for circulation among our farmers, in which they are told that they pay many millions a year more for American goods than they would for British goods were our tariff laws repealed. A more gi'oss insult to the common sense and intelligence of our farmers could not be given. Every one of them knows that were our mines, workshops, and manufacturing establishments closed, as they would be under a revenue tariff, our markets would be at the niercy of foreign manufacturers and their importers.
