To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The rate must be sufficiently remunerative to stimu- late in the natives the desire of obtaining it and, as a conse- quence, to induce them to gather in the products of the domain. This class of voluntary contributions is actually in force in seve- ral districts. Where the attraction of commercial benefit is not sufficient to assure the working of the private domain, it is necessary to resort to the tax in kind ; but, even in this case, the work is remunerated in the same manner as the voluntar...y contributions. The Government's orders in this respect are positive. Properly THE DOMAIN 255 speaking, the tax in kind, such as established, is not a real tax, since the local value of the products brought in by the natives, is given to them in exchange. The Government has never neglected an opportunity to remind us agents intrusted with the collection of taxes in kind, that their part is that of an educator : their mission is to impress on the mind of the natives the taste for work ; and the means available would fail their aim, if compulsion was changed into violence.
