To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It is a notorious fact that the voters in our country and in all countries are absolutely indifterent to — we may say truth- fully, that they look with a sort of contempt on — the electoral franchise; and the humbug of representation that we adverted to in the preceding chapter is a sufficiently good reason. Vo- ters will naturally remain iudifierent, as long as a political cam- paign meatis but a strife for candidates. Whenever they do OP AFFAIRS. 177 TOte, they will continue to do so from the... same reasons which solely influence them now, to-wlt : habit, or the desire to ad- vance a friend or a '* hero," or the chance of getttiu^ a drink. Rut when the voters have measures hef ore tliem,— not merely general, and tlierefore vague, constitutional provisions, but direct^ special measures — to discuss and then to ratify or reject, it may fairly be expected, that they will talce a con6iderai>le and increa«^ing interest i:i public affairs.
