The Cotton. Bill Before Congress

*"o ooo'oAA LIN ooioA0 OVnSAoSS
One Of the most absurd attempts at
Legislation which has been made, in the
present Congress, is tho introduction
of Il Bill into the Senate, by one Spch-
Ger, of Alabama, regulating the price
Of cotton, and making its purchase by
the Government part Of the finan-
cial policy Of the country. The meas
urc is so entirely unjust and impolilic,
that we cannot believe that it stands
any chance Of receiving the sanction
of Congress.
From tho Congressional proceedings
of Friday we extract the following
full statement Of the Bill:
"Mr. Spencer introduced Bill to
regulate the price and encourage the
production Of cotton in the United
States. Referred to finance Commit
tee.
at provides that after the 1st July
next the Secretary OF tile Treasury
shall be authorized to purchase all
raw cotton grown after the passage OF
this Bill (whcn tho same shall be dc
iivered at any railway station, or on
board Of any steamboat making direct
running communication with the port
OF New York. 1T twenty cents per
pound for nplands and thirty for Sra
Island, provided it be in good ,rer-
chantablc order, ana putup in bales of
four hundred pounds. The purchases
arc to be made through. tho internal
revenue officers. Cotton so sold shall
DC exempt from tax, but if sold to
other parties than agents ofthc United
States, Shall pay q tax of three cents
per pound; the cotton purchased bv
The Government shall be sold in New
ork ut price not less than five cents
per pound in advance Of purchase
price, aot reckoning expenses, trans
portatlon, storage, &c, as part of lat
Ter; but manufactures Of cotton with
IN the United States shall be allowed
4 drawback OF two and half cents
per pound upon all cotton used by
them; and full report of all. transac-
tlons under the foregoing provisions
shall be laid before Congress at the
commencement Of every regular ses-
sion"
At time when short staple cotton
is selling from - to 2S cents Der
pound in the State, and long-staplc
from GO to s1.3O, it is proposed TO
give the Government the power to
force the sale from the producer, at :,
price below the market value or the
cost of production; or to tax him three
cents pound for his delinquency
ihc planter must sell to the Govern
mcnt at It's price, or pay the tax. The
Government is, not only to. fix the
price, bat to do this for the benefit OF
the manufacturer. The relation of
producer and consumer is to lie dis
arranged, and the manufacturer is to
be guaranteed his cotton, at a priccnot
exceeding 25 cents for upIands and
50 cents for Sea Island. Such a mca.
sure would destroy, not encourage, the
production Of cotton. Just after the
war Congress introduced Il tax of three
cents pound on cotton, which was
afterwards reduced to two-and-a-half
cents; but this was SO oppressive that
1T was soon repealed. Such lcgisla-
ton is opposed to the whole expert
ence OF the past, and belongs to for
mcr and darker age. It is Of piece
with laws regulating tho prices Of
provisions, and other sumpt;ary en-
actmcnts, which have proved as cor
rupting to legislators as offensive to
the people.

Pontif; H. Errors relating to
modern Liberalism. OF this En-.
cyclical and Syllabus, Or the charg
es and specifications, to use the
language of courts martial, it is
sufficient to say that they conclude
and condemn the whole structure
of modern society; they condemn
MS damnable the views held by all
civilized States in our days as to
the nature OF marriage, the educa-
tion of children, the objects and
sanctions Of legislation, the rela-
tions Of governors and govern
ment the source Of political power,
the relations Of the Church to the
State, Of tEe clergy to the laity,
and the views held by nearly all cd.
ucated men as to the functions and
limits Of human reason, the OBJ
ieots, powers and results of scien-
tillo investigation. In other words,
they pronounced the state of socie-
Iy which existed in the tenth cen,
tury superior to that which exists
in the nineteenth century, The
submission to them of the modern
world would involve the absolute
reputation, or indeed the blottlng
out, Of nearly everything which
has taken place during the last six
hundred years at least, included un-
der the name progress. ~ Y.
