To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The ponies of Ilocos are highly valued in Manila, where there is a great demand for them.
They are smaller than the ponies of other provinces, but are very hardy and spirited, and go at a great pace. Tuli- sanes formerly infested these provinces and found a ready refuge in the mountains, when pursued by the cuadrilleros^ or village constables, who were only armed with bolos, lances, and a few old muskets. But the creation of the Civil Guard, formed of picked officers and men, who were armed wit...h Remingtons and revolvers, and whose orders were, *' Do not hesitate to shoot," made this business very dangerous, and the three provinces suffer little from bri- gandage. When Juan Salcedo conquered the Ilocos, he found a caste of nobles amongpst them who possessed all the riches of the country, and treated the cailaneSy or serfs, with great rigour. Their tyranny caused several bloody rebellions, and although at present matters in this respect have improved, there is still room for complaint that the people who do the work do not get a fair remuneration for it, the rich man always endeavouring to keep the poor man in permanent indebtedness.
