To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The Federal Government has raised $70, 000, 000 a year by duties. By an ingeniously contrived tariff, aiming here at reve- nue, there at protection of Northern industry, the South is made to pay $50, 000, 000, and the North perhaps $20, 000, 000. But this is only half the process. When this $70, 000, 000 comes to be expended, $50, 000, 000 and more is lavished at the North and $20, 000, 000 grudgingly expended at the South. Thus, by the direct and intentional operation of the Government, we are... drained of $30, 000, 000 a year, which we never see again. It goes to swell that other fund created for the benefit of the North- ern man by the protective policy, which strives to make Northern industry profitable, beyond its natural gains, by shutting us out from the market of the world, and compelling us to deal with the North. Few people could stand this draining process as we have done. It is not simply that we are heavily taxed, though so indirectly that no man knows what he pays; but that we an: taxed to raise a revenue which is chiefly expended elsewhere, and never comes back to us in any shape.
