National Ucpttbluan AIK»U!*TA.. <*-a . 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.
