THE Internal Revenue Bill.

Referring to the bill lately reported by the Com
mittee OF Ways and Means, the National hdeNi-
gencer says
It reduces the aggregate of the amount of tax
ton. in comma rison with the existing act by the
sum of sixty OF seventy Millions or about one
fifth It relieves many articles OF prime necessity
or which are of universal consumption from any
tax at all Taxes a-e increased upon some pro-
ducts Cotton is to be taxed five cents a'pound,
instead of two. Cotton goods are to be entitled
to drawback, when ex porteC, equal TO the taxes
paid on the finished goods and upon the raw ma
terial AS to the tax upon the Ia" cotton pro.
duced in the country, it is the general belief OF
Congress and of financial men that under the
present state of things, the tax will fall chiefly on
the consumer-that is, upon the foreign and DO
nestle manufacturers that the producer Will
not derive any less profit from his product by rea-
son of the tax. There may be doubt as to this,
for the Southern States need all the encourage
ment which high prices will afford them, In their
attempt to resuscitate the culture of cotton.
The drawback allowed cotton fabrics export
ed will encourage the domestic manufacturer to
look for foreign market He may look In vain,
however, until the currency comes down to the
same standard which other nations have estab-
lished. .-- ..-. ....
The exemption of many materials used in
manufactures from taxation IS leading feature OF
the bill. This will tend to diminish the cost of
manufactured goods to consumers. ..
49,. Cotton Crop Georgia.
Hon. Isaac Newton, Commissioner of Agricul-
ture has received adyices from Macon county,
Georgia, in reference to the planting of the cot
ton crop, stating that the planters generally in
the midst of planting, but that an area will be
planted this season somewhat smaller than usual,
owing to wide prevailing idea among the plan
tiers that the seed has lost much of its vitality by
lying four or five years In the gln-hOuSes. Many
planters have been compelled to plant over from
this cause, thus loos2g two weeks of the best cot
ton growing season. -- - - .--1 - 80
