To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Such youths ingeniously turn the law to account, and comjjcl it to yield them and their relations a slight profit. They run away from the parish or city in which the commission holds its sittings, and are declared fugitives. For all such deserters — if only they be Jews — a reward of fifty roubles is always liberally paid. A friend of the runaway is informed by the delintpient himself of his whereabouts, he communicates the information to the authorities and receives the reward, which he gives ...in part or in its entirety to the offender. In this manner many of the Russian laws against the Jewish population either defeat their own purpose or inflict considerable loss upon the Christian subjects of the Tsar. Thus there are numerous districts in Russia — fertile stretches of land which are in sore need of workmen to till the soil or reap its fruits. It often happens that the corn rots on the ground for want of hands to cut it. The landowners have been for years crying out for some measure calculated to restore what the emancipation of the serfs deprived them of — cheap labor; and the Government did enact a law a few years ago, w^hich has created a class of agricultural laborers who sell themselves for several years, and even descend to the heirs of their master, should he die before the expiration of their term.
