To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Thus, we export to England to-day only three vegetable staples cotton, wheat and tobacco. Now, so long as the demand of a manufacturing country is confined to a few articles, the productive power of the agricultural country must be diminished. The numerous varieties of soil and climate which characterize this country are capable of producing numerous varieties of crops. Every soil is more productive when sown to one crop than to another. But, under free trade these advantages are all lost. The ...soils, whatever may be their appropriate crops, must be diverted from their best use to raise those crops for which alone there is demand. Is not productive power thus lost ? To diminish cost of transportation those crops are exported whose density of value is greatest. Land will be diverted from the production of the more bulky yet more abundant corn to that of the more compact yet scarcer wheat. Then, too, there is no demand for the perishable vegetables and fruits, and from their production the suitable lands must be diverted.
