To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
No matter who conceives the policy, no matter who devises the law or frames the decisions, it is from the peo- 20 pie that they derive their binding force. The peo- ple decide all questions raised by the needs of the time, or by the contests of their statesmen. They decide them not blindly or by chance, not accord- ing to the dictates of favor, of caprice or self- interest, but according to their intrinsic merit. With the loyal American citizen everything must yield to his country's welfare. Th...e ideal Ameri- can should be above all an upright, disinterested patriot, an intelligent lover of his country. It is his right and his duty to decide the most weighty and momentous questions ; questions of home and foreign policy ; questions of peace and war ; ques- tions of finance and political economy ; questions of social right or wrong. Yesterday it was the problem of State rights, to-day it is the problem of the surplus, to-morrow it may be some problem in international law on which he must pronounce judgment.
