What reading level is The American Protectionist's Manual .. book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
; of these thirteen classes six were receiving less wages in 1869 than in 1854, three were receiving the Bame, and four were receiving somewhat higher wages.
" In one of the Government dockyards, the result was even less favorable. From 1849 to 1859 three classes had an advance of sis- pence a day, but from 1859 to 1869 no advance whatever. ' Wages were absolutely stationary throughout these years ' (page 134).
" Twenty classes of laborers in private ship-yards on the Thames showed the same wag...es in 1869 as in 1851. There was a tempo- rary rise in 1865, but it was dearly purchased by the distress that followed.
"Mr. Brassey thinks that building-trades are somewhat better paid, but ' the increase in wages has not been proportionate to the increase in the cost of living.' Prof. Pawcett confesses that 'in other trades the condition of the laborer must have deteriorated ' (p. 135). But even in the very best paid trades it must also have deteriorated, according to his own showing.
" It is a point of interest and essential to a right judgment upon free trade in England, to know how great has been the increase in the expenses of living during these years of its greatest develop- ment.
