by the mother country, which provided for the
stamping of various legal instruments and pa
pers and contracts of all kinds, as well as olce
and playing cards.
The news of the passage of this act reused
the colonists to fury. A gallows was erected
in what is now City Hall park, New YORK. ana
the British governor was hanged in efhgy and
the house of Major Jones' in command OF the
British regiment was sacked. Then came the
rising of the "Sons Of Liberty" and the raising
of the liberty poles. Boston and Philadelphia
were worthless Of the storm. So emphatic was
the protest that much Of the act was repealed
and duties were established on tea, which ac-
counted for the sudden rain Of tea IN Boston
harbor. Then came the burning words OF Fat
rick Henry, "Give me liberty or give me
DEATH" before the Virginia in 1773. The year
later brought the PRONUNCIATION Of the Dec
Iaration of Rights and Privileges" in which 1t
was declared that every man had the right
to" life, liberty and property and that most
ancient right granted at Runnymede, trial by
his peers of the vicinage."
Throughout all this time Of storm and
strain the protests were made as British sub
jects, and that congress which met in Carpen-
ter's hall in 1774 was still loyal to the crown.
It petitioned the king, demonstrated with par
lament and appealed to their brethren In Eng
land Then came Lexington and Concord. The
congress of 1775 made provisions for an army,
with Washington as commander, and still Pc
titioned. It's petition was refused and mer-
cenaries were hired from petty German
princes to-quoting the words of LOSING
butcher British subjects for asserting the
rights Of British subjects"
Richard Henry Lee Of Virginia offered the
independence resolution in June, 1776, and a
committee was appointed to draft the declara-
ton, consisting of Thomas Jefferson, John Ad-
Robert Livingston Jefferson wrote the docu-
ment and alterations were made principally
at the suggestion of Franklin and Adams. The
paper submitted to congress on June g.
It was laid on the table until July 1, when nine
colonies voted in favor of it.
The independence resolution was actually
adopted on July 2 and promulgated to the
world on July 4, when John Hancock of Massa-
chusetts affixed to 1t his bold signature
The other members of the congress did not
sign 1t until August 2, and the impressive
scene connected with the signing was not wit
messed until nearly month later, although it
is popularity associated with the Fourth Of
July.
Centuries Of the progress of the rights OF
man bear witness In the Declaration. That "all
men are created equal and are endowed by
their Creator with certain unalienable rights,
that among these are life liberty and the pur-
suit Of happiness" was not new, for it was
recognized at Sinai. That governments derive
their just powers from the consent of the gov
erned had been stated and res&ated In many

The Declaration of Rights was forerun-
ner Of the Declaration of independence. There
is nothing more essentially British than the
dictum that there shall be no taxation without
representation. OF the early American states
men only Franklin and Otis wished to have
representation in the British parliament The
others considered that their own assemblies
should be the legislative bodies entirely and
that If any taxes were to be imposed they
should be collected only with the consent Of
the colonial assemblies.
The question of taxation, however, did not
enter into any controversies, for It was not
until the middle of the eighteenth century that
Great Britain, exhausted by many wars and
seeking to replenish the national treasury,
sought extraordinary means for raising reve-
nue. and her ministers proposed that the col
onies, which had been growing in wealth and
Importance should be made to contribute to
the impoverished excheQuer. The French and
Indian war had shown the power of the col
onies and their force and had given very
definite idea of their growing wealth and i'm
portance.
Having reached the decision to tax the col
onies, the ministry did not spend any time in
preliminaries. It was decided that parliament
had the right to levy the taxes and the fact
that the colonies had no representation In that
body was not taken into account. Such mat
ter would ordinarily have been considered
subject for delicate negotiation, but, the deci-
sion to tax having once been made, no time
was lost in levying it.
England had In effect been constitutional
monarchy since the signing Of the Magma
Charta In 1915 and In taxing the colonies not
represented in the common council Of the
kingdom she had violated one Of the oldest Of
the rights which every Briton claims.
Such was the situation in 1854, when the
struggle began which IL years later brought
forth the Declaration of Independence, and the
next year brought into being the first congress
of the American colonies. which decided that
the assembly had the power to fix taxes. The
stamp act was the first heavy impost levied

then rapidly becoming effaced, the king owned
all the land and distributed 1t among various
favored vassals.
The sovereign in the same way regarded
the new world as If it had been won by the
sword. The most extravagant ideas prevailed
with regard to the wealth of the American
lands. It was at one time soberly believed
in England that gold and silver and precious
stones could be had for the taking and that
the natives were the possessors Of fabulous
wealth The king gave the charters in most
cases with the idea that he would profit great
ly from mines which would yield enormous
returns to the royal exchequer.
When the colonists came here they found
it necessary to make good their titles either
by peaceful bargains with the Indians or by
force of arms From the very first the spirit
of independence was fostered, for fiefs which
had to be maintained by constant vigilance
and negotiations and by show Of force did not
carry with them a deep sense of obligation.
Indeed even at that early day, although for
the throne the colonists entertained feelings
of loyalty and devotion, a shrewd idea was
abroad that the king did not really own the
land which he had bestowed by his charter.
The conquest of nature and Of the savages be-
got rugged independence which as the years
went by became more and more d1stasteful
to the authorities in England
Yet the idea of separation from the crown
was of slow growth. The forefathers main
tanned that they were British subjects, al
though not living within the realm, as indeed
was specified in some of the royal charters.
The Massachusetts charter, for instance, sets
forth that the colonists shall be considered
"as if they and every one Of them were born
within the realm of England" AS British sub
jects, then they maintained that they should
be entitled to representation, and therefore
each colony had its assembly, which deter
mined upon all matters of the common veal
and established rates Of taxation. 1t was one
of the principles expressed in the Magma Char
ia that the common council of the kingdom
''was to assess an aid or to assess a scutage,"

So much has been taken here as a matter
of course that it seems hard to realize that

land from which liberty was wrested and that
Observances Of 1t are officially ordered in
many lands beyond the seas. The Fourth or
July has become international in scope, for IL
has changed the governments of nations
whose capitals are far from independence hail.
So widespread have its effects become as
studied in the light of the present day that
in order to get the true value of all that the
declaration signifies to the world in 1910 it is
necessary to go back to the very beginning
of American liberty.
Had not the ideas of government held by
the colonists been essentially British there
would probably never have been any Declara-
ton of independence. 1t is as natural for the
Briton to demand his rights as it is for him to
live The War of the Revolution was largely
due to the fact that the two thousand miles of
water between London and the colonies caused
parliament to lose sight of the ties of consan-
guinity and of race.
Although the original thirteen colonies
were so essentially English in thought and
feeling they had never actually been estab-
lished by England as a national enterprise.
The only one which had ever received any
official aid whatever was Georgia, and that
was not sufficient to carry any such feeling
of dependence as is essential for the preserva-
tion of intimate colonial relations The right
to colonize the North American continent had
been granted by charters from British king.
