What reading level is The Folly of Building Temples of Peace With Untempered Mortar: the Necessity of Building Temples of Peace With Tempered Mortar: book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Congress- men may come and Congressmen may go, but the tariff extortions will go on so long obviously as a Republican administration controls in Washington.
We have paid in pensions since the month of June, 1863, $3,551,025,651 — nearly or quite the amount of extraordinary expenses of our government during the Civil War. The number on the pension roll in 1907 was 985,971— a larger number than we ever had of soldiers at one time in the field during that war, or either before or since we became a...n independent nation.
These pensioners are now drawing $138,030,894 an- nually; and though we have had no war since 1865, except the three or four months' scrap with Spain, the pension roll has been annually increasing for the last forty-five years. It would be interesting and instructive to know how small a room it would take to hold all the surviving soldiers of the Mexican and the Civil War, and the widows of those deceased. No other country has or ever had such a pension list. Would we ever have had such a burden to carry had not a shameful proportion of it been appropriated by Congress to secure the reelec- tion of its members pledged to protection ?
