What reading level is Down in Porto Rico book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The important coffee market for Porto Rico was Spain, the United States buying so little Porto Eican coffee that it need scarcely be considered.
Shortly after Spain relinquished her pos- Coffee session of Porto Rico, she placed a tariff on Lost coffee from the Island, which was not quite prohibitive, but which was disastrous to the coffee industry. Prices paid for coffee in Porto Rico were so low that the planters could scarcely afford to market the berries. This worked great hardship among the... la- borers, many of whom were thrown out of employment, and large numbers could hardly earn enough money to keep them from starving. ^ The value of the coffee exported in 1901 was |3, 195, 662 as against an average value of annual shipment from 1892 to 1896 of |10, 872, 000.
In addition to the distress caused by the coifee loss of their market, the coffee planters suf- ^j^ed fered a great disaster through the hurri- * Governor's Report, 1903, page 34 132 Down in Porto Rico cane of 1899. The storm swept over the Island with such fury that coffee trees were destroyed, buildings were blown down, much of the soil on the coffee plantations was washed down into the valleys, and the coffee industry was paralyzed.
