What reading level is The Labor Argument in the American Protective Tariff Discussion .. book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The advent of the laborer in politics created new political turmoil. Laborers in mass meeting indorsed or disapproved of candidates for office. The friendship of Van Buren was dis- trusted. During the campaign of 1840 he was forced to reply to questions concerning his attitude toward the protective tariff and a reduction of the standard of wages. He had inaugurated the ten-hour day in Government establishments, yet laborers were dissatisfied, and he was made the scape goat for the pre- vailing ...ills and depression. The debate on the sub-treasury and on hard money in 1839-40 plainly indicates the rising im- portance of the laboring class. In 1824 such arguments as were now made would have been absurd. The adoption of the system, it was claimed, would reduce the wages of the laborer, and bring him to the level of his foreign competitors. The emphasis placed by its Whig opponents upon this cause for opposition is both significant and comprehensible. The resemblance between this argument and the labor argument for protection in 1842 is an- other striking fact.
