To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It is of no avail, therefore, that educated and intelli- gent free labor may bean overmatch for slave labor, because in truth, educated and intelli- gent free labor cannot coexist with slavery, slave labor wins the victory, not merely by its own strength, but by weakening and de- teriorating free labor. It is certainly true that wealth is more rapidlv augmented under free, than under slave systems, and that, in a large sense, free labor is cheaper than slave labor. The reduc- tion of the labore...r to the minimum of physical subsistence, is the philosophy of Gov. Ham- mond . Ni. L of the South. A better philosophy, even tor capital, is to pay the laborer a rate of Wftgea which will uphold his self-respect and educate his family. Slave labor, like many other cheap things, is dear in the end. But al- though exhausting and impoverishing in alJ its results and all its influences, it is irresisti- bly and unmistakably cheaper, when applied to the ruder processes of agriculture, than free labor, which it overpowers and reduces to its own level, This gift of cheapness, which is its only recommendation, is, in truth, its most fatal characteristic, because cheap labor im- plies an uneducated laborer, general ignorance, an absence of the arts and universal impov- erishment.
