TUESDAY MORNING .-Jwmary ** 1888
the cotton tax.
If anything could demonstrate the ne
cessity, both to the South and the country
at largo, of reconstruction and the presence
of Soathom represent*tire* in Congtesa,
It is the ignorance displayed in the Con
gressional debates upon the cotton tax, not
only as to the culture of cotton, for that
might have been expected, tmt of the trade
in that article, about which it was reason
able to suppose that the representatives of
Northern manufacturers and merchants
would have displayed some knowledge. It
seem# impossible for Congressmen to per
ceive that our cotton cannot compete with
that of other sources of supply, when it
start* in the competition loaded down with
a heavy tax. They seem unable to compre
hend that to drive other cotton out and
to resume our old command .of the market,
n is necessary that our product must, for a
time at least, be made as cheap as possible-
It cannot be expected to resunie its old
supremacy unless it can be cheaply pro
duced, and it must not be burdened with a
tax which increases the cost of production
twenty or more per cent.
Congress appears to have reversed all
ideas of political economy ami the laws of
trade, It seems to be supposed in that
body that the price is fixed on this side of
the water, and depends somewhat on the
inflation or contraction of our greenback
currency. It is even asserted that an
inflation of the currency would enhance
the price of cotton as it would of every
thing else. It seems to be forgotten that
Liverpool still continues the cotton mart
of the world, and that there the price is
fixed, not by a greenback standard, but
in gold. No matter how much the paper
currency of this country is inflated or
contracted, neither would affect to anv
considerable degree the price of cotton.
Inflation would, in fact, injure rather than
benefit the cotton planter, as it would
raise the price of everything he consumcd )
while the price of his product might
remain the same.
.We have said that the ignorance dis
played in Congress on this subject is a
good argument in favor of reconstruction.
There is scarcely a well educated Southern
man who is not able to impart to members
much knowledge on points relating to this
subject. Indeed there is scarcely a farmer
in the country who could not give them
some new ideas. So long as the Cotton
States remain out of the Union, just so
long their great interest and the interest
of the nation suffer. However willing the
present members may be to deal justly,
they cannot act or vote understandingly
upon a subject concerning which they
apparently possess so little knowledge,
and the necessity is great and growing
that for her own benefit and that of the
nation, the South should be speedily
represented in the national councils.
