Till* Cotton Crop—'Who .Makes It.
Trim the yew York Evening Tout.]
TTio cotton crop, growing over so widely ox-
tended nn arcs of country, and passing in its
processes from seed to shipment through so
iHUny hands, has yet boon reduced to figures so
exact that few articles of commerce can l>e sta
tistically considered with equal precision. Tho
immense advantage of tho tabular statement in
respoct of cotton, lies, of course, in its enabling
of to make conjectural estimates of the future
growth of tho plant likely to fall not far short
S)^f tho truth.
* ■ Tho American cotton crop of the last year t*<*«
lieen ascertained as 2,430,892 bales. The aver
age of weight is 400 pounds to the bale, which
gives an aggregate of 972,347,000pounds; worth
a 111 currency abont two hundred and fifty millions
of dollars. For practical purposes the bale may
lie sot down at the value of ono hundred dollars.
Three seres, as a rule, produce one bale of
cotton. The crop of 1868, upon this average,
required tho cultivation of 7,292,679 acres. Tho
land devoted to Cotton before tho war was taken
to represent a money value of $291,707,160;
but, by reason of the disorganization incident
to tho war, this value has fallen to $72,926,790.
The area of the States growing cotton exclusive
of Kentucky, Missouri and Virginia—in portions
of which tho plant may be saccessfally cultivated
—is 426,366,440 sores. This area may be fair
ly taken as the possible cotton field of the future,
setting off the portions of the cotton growing
States proper which cannot be employed for
cotton production against the Kentucky, Mis
souri and Virginia lands which may be so em
ployed. The United States then have a capaci
ty of cotton production of 143,121,813 bales,
which, at existing prices in currency, wonld be
worth fourteen thousand two hundred and twelve
millions of dollars—a sum which staggers tho
imagination.
Tho crop of last year occupied only about
one fifty-ninth part of the vast area, and brought
^•only about tho same proportion of the sum just
mentioned. Practically, then, it may be said,
that there ie no limit to the quantity of cotton
that may be raised by a combination of effort
on tho part of those immediately interested.
One hand may make three bales of cotton,
though this is a high average. Applying it,
however, to tho crop of 1868 we get 810,708 as
the number of hands employed in its growth.
Oflfcpotent writers assume that one-fourth of
these were white men; a proportion greater
than under the .system of slavery. About one-
half the slaves of tho South before the war were
in the cotton field, which, according to the oen-
sns of 1860, would give 1,500,000 in round num-
liers as tho force employed. Since slavery has
lieen abolished this force has been diminished
by the withdrawal of almost all tho women and
children, and by an actual decrease of tho whole
unmber of blacks—to what extent tho census of
1870 alone can inform us.
The fall in price of our staple since tho war
A-s greatly crippled the ootton-planting interests
ot India and Egypt. The largest yield in India
was that of 1866, when it reached 1,840,648
bales. This wah brought down in 1868 to 1,420,.
576 bales. Egypt produced, in 1865, 404,411
bales; in 1868,193,035, or not enough to dis
turb a calculation of probable results hereafter.
Both these countries paid the penalty of a too
exclusive devotion of their lands to cotton, un
der the stimulus of our war, in famine, which
carried off nearly a million of human beings. In
Smyrna and other portions of tho Levant, whero
in 1864, the fig crop was sacrificed to tho growth
of cotton, the culture has been almost entirely
abandoned.
We see, then, that the United States is likely
to remain the chief cotton-grower of the world;
and we see, also, that its capacity for increased
production depends almost wholly upon the in
creased supply of labor. The importance of
encouraging emigration becomes magnified in
this view to the greatest extent.
Them was a “run” recently on a Brooklyn
Savings Bonk, and the directors found that they
had notmoney enough in the vaults to meet the
Remand, and sent a messenger to New York to
a fresh supply. They were afraid of get
ting out, and instructed the teller to count very
slowly, in order to gain time. The next ruse
was- to send one of their clerks into the line of
depositors, and have him protest his account
and get into a row with tho teller. He did his
work to perfection; complained that the money
was not all right; compelled the cashier to
count it over several times, and made so much
noise tljat a policeman was sent for. The rest
of the depositors were amused at the row, and
forgot that They were being detained. When
the messenger arrived with a fresh supply of
money, the teller apologized to the fictitious de
positor, the quarrel was made up, and the work
of paying went on.

. ^“T: 1 aclc ?° w l® 3 80 the receipt of a memo,
nal addressed to your Excellency, from the pro-
pnetors of the various newspapers and job
printing establishments of the city of Atlanta,
claiming exemption of their typo, presses and
other fixtures, and asking an order relieving
them from the tax claimed by the tax receive?
of Fulton county. The memorial claims that
the tax receiver, without authority of law or
precedent, requires returns to be made of said
property for taxation, and that custom would
seem to have established the fact that “such
implements of trade” ore properly exempt from
taxation. In my opinion tho receiver has
authority of law for the proceeding complained
of, and that it is his duty to require it and that
custom ' will not prevail when lironght in con
flict with positive law. It is my duty, ns sn
officer, to execute the law os I find it, whatever
my opinion may be as to its wisdom orexped-
| cn ®y- reasons advanced in the memorial
by the highly intelligent and worthy gentlemen
whpso names are signed thereto, might be very
good reasons to present to tho Legislature on
asking that body to pass a law for the exemption
of this parti color class of property in tho future;
but they certainly fail to establish the fact
alleged, that it is at this time exempt, undor
existing laws.
By virtue of the authority of law, a pamphlet
containing instructions and a digest of tho tax
laws taken from the Code, and preserving the
nnmber of tho sections, was issued from this
offloe on tli» 21st of April, and with blank di
gests immediately transmitted to the Tax Be-
ceivers throughout tho State, and they were or-
dered to commence tho performance of their
duties immediately upon the receipt of their di
gests. Section 797 of the Code, on page 16 of
said pamphlet, declares that “all real and per
sonal ostatas, whether owned by individuals or
corporations, resident or non-resident, are lia
ble to taxation, unless specially exempted.”
This section clearly and unmistakably points
out the “taxable property” referred to in tho
1st section of the tax act of 1869, and item-
braces “all real and personal estate'’ not npeeitU.
Ill exempted. The terms used are as broad and
comprehensive as they could be made, and
wonld embrace even wearing apparel, were it
not “specially exempted.” The words “all real
and personal estate'” cover every species of
iroperty known to our laws, and therefore em
it**® the property for which exemption is
claimed, unless some law can be found tpeciaUn
exempting it. I have searched in vain for such
law, and none such, in my opinion, r* nn be
found.

Section 796 of the Code, embraces a list of
seventeen specifio exemptions, to which two
more were added by on act of the last Legisla
ture. None of them embraces type, presses, or
printers' fixtures. The memorial refers to these
as “ implements of trade.” The nearest ap
proach to this term is found in the 12th item of
the exemptions “ plantation and mechanical
tools” not above the value of $300. Can the
property named be construed as falling within
the meaning of the words “mechanical tools ?”
I think not. The word “tools” as here used
has a restricted meaning, and only embraces
such implements used by mechanics as by com
mon custom are known and distinguished os
tools.” Such, for instance, as a saw, a chisel,
hammer, piano, anger, etc. Bat, in my judg
ment, a printing press or steam engine is not a
took If, however, type, etc., were admitted to
be within the exemption, it would only extend
to $300; all the excess would bo taxable. The Y|T ^ Jg I G S

question as to whether printing presses were
taxable, waa recently propounded to me by the
Tax Receiver of Hancock county, and in a let
ter addressed to him on the 18th instant, I de
cided that printing presses under the tax laws
as they now stand, were liable to taxation. And,
now, after carefully reviewing the whole sub
ject, I can find no valid reason for changing the
decision then made.
In making such decision I have been govern
ed neither by prejudice or bias against the
press. On tho contrary I duly appreciate its
importanco to tho publio in tho dissemination
of knowledge and the promotion of virtue and
good morals, and have no argument to offer
against the claim for exemption now under con
sideration, other than the stem, unyielding fact
that the law, in my judgment, taxes the prop
erty, and there is no other provision of law that
exempts it. Bat, as this is-a question upon
which a difference of opinion exists, I would
respectfully submit, whether it would not be
well for your Excellency to suspend the collec
tion of the tax upon this class of property until
tho next session of the General Assembly, and
let that body give direction in the matter.' This
my judgment, would be but an act of justiso
the press of the State, and relieve this office
from the construction of a law upon which em
inent legal gentlemen seem to differ.
The memorial is herewith returned.
Very respectfully,
