The ninth annual report of the in
terstate commerce commission shows
that more freight was carried in the
year ended June 30, 1806, than in
any previous year in the history of
our railway system; so that pros
perity really had a pretty clear
track ahead of her some time before
she desired to go upon the road.

ONE OK THE GKKATKSl I1EI1A I ES IN
UISTOKY.
After the peace ol 1703 the British
Ministry attempted to lay a direct
internal tax upon the colonics.
This was the first muttering of ati
approaching storm. Its significance
was seen by Franklin and other
agents of the colonies in England,
and in a few months the colonies
were filled with indignation aud
alarm.
The Stamp Act provided that a'l
business doauments and instruments
such as deeds, wills, leases, all pa
pers in legal proceedings, writs,
warrants, licenses, aud even college
degrees, should be null and void
unless written on stamped paper
furnished by the Government and
sold by stamp officers. The act was
to go into effect on November 1, 17(ia.
There was then a great debate.
Charles Townshend, on the Gov. rn
ment side, supported the bill with a
speech in which he said: "Now will
these Americans children planted
by our care, nourished up by our
indulgence, and protected by our
arms will they grudge to contrib
ute their mite to relieve us from the
heavy weight of that burden which
we lie under ?"
To this appeal Colore! Barre, a
friend of America in the House of
Commons, replied in this eloquent
strain:
They planted by your care ! No !
Your oiipession planted them in Am
erica! Fled from your tyranny to a
then uncultivated and inhospitable
country, where they exposed them
selves to "almost all the hardships
to which human nature is liable,
and yet, actuated by principles of
true English liberty, they met ali
hardships with pleasure, ccmpareu
with those they suffered in their
own country, from the hands of
those who should have been their
friends.
They nourished up by your in
dulgence! They grew by your neg
lect of them. As soon as you began
to care for them, that care wasexer
cised in sending persons to rule
them, to spy out their liberties, to
misrepresentj,their actions, and to
prey upon them men whose be
havior on many occasions hascaused
the blood of those sons of liberty to
recoil within them.
They protected by your arms!
They have nobly taken up arms in
your defence, have exerted their
valor, amidst their constant and
laborious industry, for the defence
of a Country whose frontier was
drenched in blood.
The Stamp Act was passed in the
House of Commons by a vote of 2'.)4
to 42, on March 22, 1764. The night
after the passage of the Stamp Act,
which has been called a "monument
of ministerial folly," Franklin wrote
to Charles Thompson, afterward
secretary of congress, as follows:
"The sun of liberty is set; you must
light up the candlesjof industry and
economy." Mr Thompson replied,

assured we shall light up torches of
