To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Gold, on which many place their confi- dence, is, as all history and experience prove and proclaim, a source of national weakness rather than an element of national strength ; a plague spot on the body politic, eating into its very vitals as a cank- erous sore, corroding and corrupting it, and, instead of concentrating the energies of the nation, conserv- ing its welfare, and consolidating the Uniou, endan- gering, not only the prosperity of the Kepublic, but its very existence. Yet, of late, t...his has been and is 21 a matter of vain-glorious boasting and reliance. The influx of gold and other precious metals from our extended domain between the Kocky Mountains and the Pacific, and the wealth, resources, and power thereby produced, are, in the speculations of many, to sustain the Government in a very important ne- cessity, and through it maintain the Republic on a permanent, unshaken foundation, and preclude ruin or even disaster. The arm of the Almighty is nothing. His providence, if allowed, is only of sec- ondary account.
