The INFAMOUS Cotton Tax.

The Infamous cotton Tax.
Our readers should remember that the
Cotton Tax bill is not yet "the law of
the land 1t has passed the House, but
hangs fire in the Senate. Should it pass
that body, it must 60 to the President,
where it will probably encounter veto
Its object is apparent on its face 1t is
measure of vengeance upon the cotton
States. 1t is what the Constitution for
bids-a tax on exports. The Radical
Congress may, however, be acting under
the Confederate Constitution, which au-
thorizes an export tax, and justifying
their measure on the ground that the
rebel States cannot object to policy
authorized by their own Government
But TO an analysis of the bill Of sbomin-
ations-for which we are indebted to the
able Washington correspondent Of the
ST. Louis Republican At the risk of
imposing a severe tax on our readers, we
give it entire, and ask the cotton planter,
the cotton broker, and the people gen
orally, to give it a careful perusal
Section one provides that There shall
be paid by the producer, owner or holder
upon all cotton produced within the
United States, tax Of five cents per
pound; and no drawback shall, in any
case, be allowed on raw or unmanufac-
tured cotton, of any tax paid thereon,
tchen exported in the raw or manufac-
tured condition" To understand the
true intent and force Of this provision il
must be borne in mind that by the Con-
stitution of the United States tart. /,
sec 9, clause 81, Congress is specially
prohibited from laying any tax or duty
whatever on articles exported from any
State" Now, if there is any agricultu-
raj or manufactured product Of the
United States TO which, more than to an
other. this language Of the Constitution
applies. it is cotton. For many years it
has been the great staple of our exports,
and must continue 10 be so for an indef-
mite period in the future And yet, in
the face of this constitutional prohibi-
ton, here is a law imposing most op-
pressive tax on this prime article Of ex-
port from nearly one half Of the States.
And let it be remembered, also, that this
is the only agricultural product that is
taxed The only great staples Of agri-
culture, the products Of more northern
attitudes, are wholly exempt from such
burdens.
know il will be replied, in aid Of the
power Of Congress to levy this tax, that
It is not laid on cotton exported, but on
cotton produced in the country. This
might answer the purpose Of sophistry
or evasion, we're IT not for the fact that
two-thirds of the cotton raised in the
South is exported, and that no drawback
of this tax is allowed on the cotton when
thus exported Considered in this light,
reflected from this latter feature, the
scheme is nothing more than the con
temptable but dishonest and heartless

There has been disastrouS overflow

cattle, mules-everything is being swept
