What reading level is These Hard Times Wherefore And How Long book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
RISE OF GOLD. 71 The table ends with 1892. Had we the statistics for the past t-wo years they would sho\7 that not only staple commodities, but all properties, real and per- sonal, have shrunk in prices relative to gold beyond that in any four years given in the table. Has not gold risen when it will buy from forty to seventy-five per cent, more property of every kind ?
But there are those who insist that gold is the stable article and that everything else has fallen in price.
The personal posi...tion and point of view produces this impression. A person rising in a balloon is car- ried upward so easily and so smoothly that he is not conscious of his own motion ; the world seems to be slipping away under hina. Those on the ground can clearly see that he is lifted above the earth by a great sack of inflating gas and that he is floating away from them. So the man astride a lump of gold feels that it is so solid and stable, it grows neither larger nor heavier, and he is so comfortable, and safe, and sure, and quiet, making no effort, that he has no consciousness of motion ; the farms and plantations with their wheat and cotton fields glide away, the horses, sheep and cattle become mere specks under him ; the whole earth seems to be sinking, and nothing but a collapse of the artificial support will convince him of his illusion.
