What reading level is Remarks of Mr Simmons of Rhode Island in Support of His Proposition to Reduce book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
First, that when the rates of postage were high in both countries, the correspondence was as great here as in England, according to the number of people, the number of letters in each country being the same in proportion to their respective population. Second, that if a reduction of postage to two cents in this country should increase correspondence and the business of our mail in the same ratio that a reduction to a penny sterling has increased that of En- gland, we could pay the expenses of t...he Department at the reduced rate, (of two cents, ) and have an annual surplus of two hundred thousand dol- lars. So confident am I, that like causes produce like results, that I for one would not hesitate to make the reduction at once tu two cents, if I could be assured of as fair a trial, and for the same time (five years, ) as in England, and without a doubt of the same result. But the amendment offered does not propose so large a reduction ; (with the present views of Senators, it would be useless to offer such a proposition ;) I do not, therefore, expect so great an increase in the correspondence here, as has taken place in England j although I believe, that we have all the same strong motives for it, if the same time and circumstances were given to bring them into action.
