What reading level is Speeches of Fisher Ames in Congress 1789 1796 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
If we would banish the ships, we must strike at the root, and banish the capital. And this, before we have capital of our own grown up to replace it, would be an opera tion of no little violence and injury, to our Southern brethren especially. Independently of this circumstance, Great Britain is an active and intelligent rival in the navigation line. Her ships are dearer, and the provisioning her seamen is perhaps rather dearer than ours : on the other hand, the rate of interest is lower in Eng...land, and so are seamen s wages. It would be improper, therefore, to consider the amount of British tonnage in our trade as a proof of a bad state of things, arising either from the restrictions of that government or the negligence or timidity of this. We are to charge it to causes which are more connected with the natural competition of capital and industry, causes which in fact retarded the growth of our shipping more when we were colonies and our ships were free than since the adoption of the present government.
