To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Thus far it is willingly conceded that the exer- cise of free trade, though still incomplete, has con- ferred on the masses an exceptional and a lasting benefit. I turn aside for a brief instant to pay this tribute to the memory of the late Mr. Cobden and Sir George Cornewall Lewis, and to the fore- sight of Mr. Bright and Mr. Charles Villiers. But unfortunately we have to deal with many more interests than those exclusively connected with the food supply of the people. We have to deal with our... own natural and sufficient products, with our various home manufactures, and with our own skilled (and daily more expensive) general labour question. These latter, quite as important to the well-being of the community, require to be as jealously guarded and protected, exercising as they undoubtedly do, an equally preponderating influence on the prosperity or otherwise of all classes in the kingdom. It behoves us, therefore, while securing for them the best available market, to be at the same time cautious how we allow them to deteriorate, or permit rival countries unduly to compete with our native industries to our own loss and detriment.
