Cotton Manufacture.

The credit due TO the South |
for the wonderful revival of
trade and agriculture through
out her borders since the late
war, says the st. Louis Times,
cannot be over-estimated, nor,
consequently, too highly eulO-
gized. No country in the
worlds history ever rose from
the prostration ola devastating
war, against so many counter
inflences with such celebrity and
success. Yet, so far as the es-
tablishment of cotton factories
in the South is concerned, by
the aid of Northern capital, the
commencement of a new era
in the manufacture of her great
and commanding product is
attributable for the most part
to the recognition of.the great
economic law that the nearer
the mill to it's raw material the
greater its profits. The wise
government arranges its base
of supplies with all practicable
nearness to it's army's field of
operations. Sugar-cane is not
transported to distant mills to
be pressed into molasses. Ma
. ple-sap is not put up in hogs
heads or barrels and conveyed
| to foreign kettles for boiling
into sugar. Wooden mills are
, most profitably run in close
, contiguity to the wool-growing
, regions which supply them.
The same with cotton. The
a item of transportation is one
t of valuable consideration. L
q seems to have been slow ir
: adoption, but since the war

THE INCOME TAX.-This obi
Gus tax expires by the terms of
the act imposing it, in 1870 /;
and it is to be hoped that it
will not be again forced upon
the people. 1t is the most OPP
pressive and unequal of all the
taxes, because it falls mainly
upon persons of comparatively
small means, while the wealthy
do not feel it.-NOrthern paper
Truly all things are great Oh
small, by comparison. But it
does not appear that the In
come Tax falls on the poor at
all. When a man has an sin
GOMEZ ofover $1,000 per annum
then, and not till then, he is
taxed on the overplus. And
so We have but few tears t.
shed over the victims" of the
Income tax.
1t may be unequal-for it is
next to impossible to make ant
collect a strictly equal tax /; bu
we cannot see, when a man en-
joys an income of $4,000 O year
that it Expresses" him at al
to tax him for $1,000.
Income taxes are modern
things. The lnoneyed aristoc
racy of England used to ge
along tax free-but the Incom,
Tax of the last few years, ha
reached them, and compellet
them to bear a share of til,
public burdens. No good rea
son can be given against tn
income tax there-and as vel
we see none here.
The taxes that affect th
poor, should be repealed, or re
duced, Before We relieve thos
persons of small means, VIII
have clear incomes of owe
$1,000.
