To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It penalises the worthy in the interests of the unworthy. It is governed by an exaggerated sympathy for weakness, and by a morbid interest in the worthless. Thus it encourages social debility. Instead of attempting to stop the springs of evil, we set ourselves the hopeless task of baling out the malarious swamps which they create. If we wish to be strong, we must reward and glorify strength, not weakness. BRITONS CAN MANAGE BRITISH BUSINESS It is asserted that Protection would lead to bribery h...ere. Bribery is no more the restilt of opportunity, than theft is that of property. Formerly we arranged our tariffs without corruption. Have we grown so venal under Free Trade that this is no longer possible? Free Traders assert that the introduction of Protection here would lead to unrestrained bribery and corruption. This unnecessary insult to the nation smacks of the pro-Boer and anti-Briton, and affords curious evidence of the unpatriotic spirit engendered by Free Trade. In the days of Protection, English- men would never have alleged that their countrymen were too dishonest to perform duties of State that other races find it possible to accomplish without reproach.
