To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The Negro in this country constitutes the most com- pact, reliable, and peaceful element of labor; one which is almost the sole dependence for production in certain direc- tions; and I believe that, if for no higher reason than the economic one, the people will see that it is worth while to keep so large an element of labor happy, contented, and prosperous, by surrounding and guarding it with every pro- tection and encouragement of the laws. In the long run, nothing is more costly and unsatisfa...ctory than discontented, unhappy, and restless labor. Few people are wise enough to learn the economic value of justice! In our efforts to go forward, we should keep in mind the difference between the problem presented previous to the civil war, and that now confronting us. Before our freedom, a giant tree was growing in the garden, which all considered injurious to the progress of the whole nation. The work to be done was direct and simple. Destroy the hurtful tree. The work before us now is not the destruc- tion of a tree, but the growing of one.
