From tlio Macon Telegraph. (.'KOlltilA LbGIsLATt'KE, JOHN II. MAim.V COLUMBUS: Saturday Morning, Feb. 3, 1866. 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.
