To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
There was a natural desire that the country should be freed from the entire dependence on foreign imports, in which it had previously stood ; and we find that the South has in no instance objected to a moderate degree of protection, or scrutinized the tariffs narrowly. The objection has been raised against the excess and abuse which soon came into existence. We cannot find that the Southern States in any of the tariff contests commenced their opposition until the system had really degenerated, ...into the gross favoritism of small, but politically powerful interests at their expense. The system, once introduced, soon yielded its natural results. Monopoly is one of those good things, of which he who has an inch soon wants an ell. The protectionist of early days was not long in expanding his views, and increasing his demands. And although the evils we have described were far from reaching their present dimensions, still excess in all things, exaggeration, and idolatry of self, were already becoming pro minent features of character.
