What reading level is The Tariff Speech of Hon Edward H Funston of Kansas in the House of Represe book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
For eight hundred years England maintained the most inflexible bar- riers of protection; and not protection only, but in many articles their exclusive policy amounted to prohibition, preventing entirely the im- portation of such things as came in competition with her own indus- tries. Even while the American colonies were dependencies of Great Britain she prohibited the exportation of American sugar except in En- glish vessels, which were compelled to discharge their cargoes in English ports; a...nd so jealous was she of her own colonies that she made it a capital offense to transport sheep from England to America, in order that she might keep down the American wool industry.
Skilled mechanics were prohibited under penalty of death from emi- grating to America. The shipment to America of looms and other ma- chinery for manufacturing the various textiles was prohibited under heavy penalties. Lord Chatham declared at one time that the Ameri- cans ought not to be permitted to manufacture even so much as a boot nail; and the English Parliament, that great body to which English- men delight to point, came within three votes of passing a bill by which every American industry was to be laid waste by English soldiery, and all this while the American colonies were still British possessions.
