To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
We see a vast array of facts, many keen and thoughtful remarks about the results of the me;isure, Imt an analysis of its principle is scarcely ever attem]>ted. He doubtless understood the protective tariff system better tliau lie did any other subject in the range of i)olitical economy : and no one can read his speeclies upon that question witliout being struck with this feature. It is still more marked w^henever he discusses the subject of linance. A philos«jphic discussion of a principle, ind...ependent of the practical con- dition of things, is never to be found in his speeches; and in this he presented a most pointed contrast to his creat rival, who so short a time preceded him to the grave. It may be said that this was the result of imperfect education, and the barely hasty study which a bus}^, stirring life enabled him to be- stow upon abstruse subjects; but the better o]»inion seems to be that he was eminently a practical man, and the bent of his genius called him away from the metaphysics of pol- itics.
