THE COI ION TAX.
Wa admonished our ri>adi'r», weeks
ago, of the probability o! the imposition
of a heavy tax on cotton of the growth of
thi* yoar. It appears that the “United
States Kovenue CnuiiniaAioners” have
iecontmended a tax of five cents per
pound, which is hair the lax proposed n
month or two ago by one of the depart
ments. It is still an enormously high tax,
and the strong probability is that H wil|
meet the favor of both branches of Con
gress. It is not yet too late for planters
to limit the crop of this year to such an
amount that they will bo able to pay the
tax. Can any of them afford to pay it
when cotton commands only ten cents
per pound? and is there any good reason
to hope that it will bring nioro than ti n
cents per pound, if a crop of 2 £00,000 or
3.000,000 of halos is raised ? Of course no
one wil be decoived by the rrcommenda-
iion that tho tax ho paid by the manufac
turer or by the shipper. If ours were the
only cotton-produoing region of the world,
we might perhaps calculate that the tax
would bo paid in tho first place by tho
manufacturer, and eventually by tho con
sumers of cotton goods. But our {South
ern Statos have to compete with tho other
cotton-producing countries of tho world
lor tho supply of tho European manufac
turing districts, and all that is needed to
enable them to supply the British and
other foreign manufacturers Is a high
price for cotton hero. They cannot suc
cessfully compete with us if cotton from
these Stales is delivered in Liverpool at
tho prices current before the war; but
whenever tho price here.largely exceeds
the ante-war rates, not only will increased
production be stimulated in the other cot-
ton-producing regions, but largely in
creased exportation will be made from
countries tbaUtl ways produce a great dea]
of cotton, birFonly export it when scarcity
or high price enables them to do so profit
ably.
Wo have soon that tho HritUh estimates
count on a supply from other cotton
growing countries than tho United States
of some 2 300,000 bales for this yoar, and
assume that with only 000,000 bales from
this country they will bo able to obtain
the full yearly average *>f slock. Is il to
he supposed, under those circumstances,
that the tax of five eeuts per pound on
American cotton will come out of tho
pockets of tho British manufacturers?—
And is it any moro reasonable to suppose
that the domestic manufacturers will pay
the tax when they have in this country a
cotton crop doubling or trebling the work
ing capacity of their mills?
Tho additional provision that a lux of
five cents per pound bo also imposed on
all manufactured cotton goods, is too shal
low to mislead any reasoning man. Sura-
ly no one believes that the manufacturers,
being thus assured of an incrcaso of five
cents per pound in tho vnluo of their fab
rics, will therefore give flvo cents per
pound more for cotton? Tho‘.provision
will "protect” home manufacturers to tho
extent of absolute prohibition of the im
portation of foreign goods. But the tax
will at the same time work ns a prohibi
tion of the exportation of notion to Groat
Britain, and thus secure to the home mar.
ufacturer the whole cotton crop of the
country at prices such as the enormous
excess of production over demand will
enahlo him to dictate. If the intention
had really been to make the manufacturer
pay the tax in the first place and the con
sumer of cotton fabrics afterwards, the
proper way would have been to impose a
tax of five cents per pound on all cotton
goods manufactured in tho country, not
on all imported.
We repeat the warning to planters
which we have already given so often
that wo foar somo may think it officious,
via: that the true policy ol tho people of
the South is to raise this year, in the first
place, everything needed for homo
sumption, and then to dovolo only the
surplus labor to the cultivation of colt*
Let them consider tho problem whether
it is better to raiso cotton at five cents per
pound, clear of tho tax, to tho neglect of
provisions and stock (the probable -esull
of a large crop), or to produco first every
thing olse needed and then raise only »n
much cotton that the consumer must pay
tho tax when be buys the cotton goods.
