To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

Eight million Filipinos with no legal or moral rights that we need con- sider! Eight million immortal souls to be treated as mere 22 chattels! Yet this is the gospel of the Jingoes. "Let us pass them by, " as the wise guide directed in regard to that peculiarly repulsive class in Dante's Inferno. Fortunately their number is small, and the American people will in due time punish them for their infamy.
The instinct of expansion, as Matthew Arnold has well said, is the basis of human civilization.
... But this instinct, though indispensable to any progress in civilization, would if left to itself yield nothing higher than the supremacy of brute strength and cunning. The other conditions of civilization, the claim- ants which man must satisfy before he can be humanized, are virtue and piety, liberty and justice, knowledge, art, and the power of social life and manners. If we are a civilized nation our mission in the Philippines must be the promotion of this civilization. A stronger, and, I believe, a higher will than ours set us in that distant archipelago.
