To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
European superiority here is partly due to the use of a better signal and checking service, thereby preventing many collisions ; partly to the general absence of level crossings, the railroad tracks going either under or over the public road, and partly to the tracks being freed from pedes- trians by protecting hedges or fences. One other illustration of the greater care of life and property over here, and I am done with that division of my subject. I refer to the better ECONOMIES AMERICA SHOUI...^D LEARN. Ill regulations for lire prevention in towns and cities — ^stricter rules in regard to the erection of buildings, etc., etc. Only this week an English authority has published the exact figures regard- ing comparative fire losses in Europe and America for a series of years, showing the per capita loss in America to be more than nine times as great as here. All these things, together with other facts that I have already given with regard to agriculture, and might give with regard to other things, are enough, I submit, to warrant my conclusions, first, that we Americans, going from this old European home to the far, strange land of America, have literally played the part of the prodigal son of the parable; and, second, that Europe would make itself rich on what America wastes.
