How TO AVOID TIE CoTTON TAX.-Let
the South spin and weave its own cotton
and all above home supplies export to New
England, or more friendly foreign coun-
tries.
By doing this the South would do great
deal more than simply avoid the cotton tax
They would furnish congenial employment
for the black population in raising the staple
home market for its purchase, cheaper
cotton goods to theSouthern people, constant
employment for hundreds of thousands in its
manufacture, and the application of Southern
capital to the development and prosperity
of the South Instead of our being depend
cnt on the North and the rest of the world,
the North and the balance Of the world
would then be dependent upon us. There
isn't person Of intelligence and experience
on the face of the earth who will or can sue
cessfully deny this assertion.

The question of such grades is one of To-
comOtive capacity. If the locomotive will,
on level, transport 1000 tons, the amount
on grade of fifty feet to the mile is re-
duced to two hundred and eighty-one; of one
hundred feet to one hundred and ffty-fve
tons, and one hundred and twenty feet to
one hundred and thirty tons.
Taking into consideration all the circum-
stances of the country to be trilversed, the
present enhanced price of iron, thirty-three
per cent. on old prices, (the value of labor
and the cost of material being very little
greater) it may safely be calculated that the
cost of the road will not exceed $780, per
mile on the whole route, which, assuming
one hundred and seventy miles as the dis
lance, would be So, 100 600. When it is con-
sidered, however, that the iron for the road
may be produced and rolled in the country
where it is used, saving might be counted
upon in transportation and handling, which
will bring the aggregate expenditure down
to about s., 100000.
Assuming, however, the basis of five mil
liOns the important question arises, how is
this amount to be obtained? l answer by
the followinO exhibit.
