To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I quote from the Gazette as follows : "We understand that many of the people of Warren and other towns, are using corn for fuel. We had a conversation with an intelligent gentleman who has been burning it, and who considers it much cheaper than wood. Ears of corn can he bought for ten cents per bushel, by measure, and seventy bushels, worth seven dollars, will measure a cord. A cord of wood, including sawing, costs nine dollars and fifty cents, which is two dollars and fifty cents more than the... cost of corn, besides the fact that corn produces more heat than wood. [f these statements arc true (and we have no reason to doubt them ) there is no fuel more economical than corn. The crop of corn this year is far beyond the demand. " I see by the Iron Age that the importation of foreign goods into New York alone for some mouths past, has been at the rate of $370, 000^000 per annum. I apprehend that if a small moiety of those goods had been manufactured in the United States, Illinois farmers might have done better with their corn than to burn even the smallest part of it.
