To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
To be politically blind is no distinction ; we are all so, if you come to that. At bottom, as it seems to me, there is but one question in modem home politics, though it appears in many shapes, and that is the question of money; and but one political remedy, that the people should grow wiser and better.
My workmen fellow-passengers were as impatient and dull of hearing on the second of these points as any member of Parliament ; but they had some glimmer- ings of the first. They would not hear o...f improve- ment on their part, but wished the world made over again in a crack, so that they might remain impro- vident and idle and debauched, and yet enjoy the comfort and respect that should accompany the opposite virtues; and it was in this expectation, as far as I could see, that many of them were now on their way to America. But on the point of money they saw clearly enough that inland politics, so far as they were concerned, were reducible to the question of annual income; a question which should long Digitized by VjOOQIC THE AMATEUR EMIGRANT 77 ago have been settled by a revolution, they did not know how, and which they were now about to settle for themselves, once more they knew not how, by crossing the Atlantic in a steamship of considerable tonnage.
