What reading level is Simple Truths : the English Version of a Small Treatise On Political Economy for the Information of Chinamen book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

China is now starting railways, and it is important that she should consider the best mode of managing these railways, so as to increase the wealth of the country. In some countries the railways are built by the Governments ; in such case the Government ■ obviously fixes fares and freights ; the rate of such fares and freights should be high enough to pay the interest on the amount of money expended, the working expenses, and wear and tear. If the Government charges more than this rate it is ta...xing the railway travellers and customers more than the rest of the community ; if it charges less it is practically giving the railway travellers, &c., a bonus for travel- ling, &c., for it is charging them less than it costs.
This is the case in some parts of Australia, where work- men's trains are run at a loss. This is economically wrong, and can only be justified as a temporary measure under exceptional circumstances. One of the injuries such action inflicts is that it impairs the credit of the Government.
