To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It is indeed time for the manufacturers, merchants, farmers, and exporters of this country to consider the tre- mendous possibilities that the construction of the great waterway between the two oceans by the United States has placed within their grasp, and to consider also, as directly affect- ing their interests, the diplomatic and com- mercial policies by which their Government is striving to serve them. The present commercial relations of the United States, the stimulus that these rela- tion...s and the commercial interrelations of all American republics are soon to receive, and the future accessibility of many new ports not only to ourselves but to the commerce of the world deserve more than passing consideration. This new proximity of the commercial ports of other nations should 24 command attention. With the route via Cape Horn no longer necessary, and under the conditions now imposed so unhappily by the status of our merchant marine, the freight steamers of the world will have much easier access to the doors of a region whose future commercial possibilities are as yet inesti- mable, and whose greatest trade should be with the United States.
