To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Here we have a sample of a country ruled by a clergy whose pretensions have not been exceeded since the days of Thomas h, Becket. The courts of law have shown themselves in vvell-known instances impotent to restrain the inter- ference of ecclesiastical authorities with civil rights ; in short, the supremacy of the Church is unquestioned. One- sixth of the provincial revenue of Quebec is applied to the maintenance of ecclesiastical institutions. The provincial debt increases yearly. The excheque...r is practically empty, and in order to make ends meet the commercial classes — notably those of Montreal — are subjected to special taxation. The misleading character of your Canadian analogy is specially seen when we compare the powers of the Dominion Parliament with those of the proposed Irish Legislature.
