COTTON TAX SHOULD BE RE
PAID.
(Resile

During and Immediately after the
civil war the United States govern
ment imposed and collected a tax
upon cotton in clear violation OF the
constitution and in defiance OF every
consideration of justice and night.
During the several years that this
infamous tax was eXacted the FEEDER
al government collected the inn
mense sum of SOS, oOU, 600 from the
already greatly impoverished south
ern states. Although the supreme
court of the United States decided
that this tax was unconstitutional
and therefore Illegally collected, the
federal government has never re-
paid it. as il was bound 90 do by
every consideration of equity and

The equities Of this matter are
very clearly sat forth IN letter writ

Gibson ~ far back az January {.
1883. TO the late General Zcbuion
Yorko of Vidalia, La Senator Gibson
wrote at that time II look upon the
cotton tax enforced by the govern
mcnt of the United States as nothing
short of pillage. and / have always
felt that every dollar Of the money
should be restored to the persons
upon whom the tax was levied. and
by whom Il was paid, This would he

ed court when the subject was

ton ! have sought to secure justice
for our people, but the road is a long
and hard one. and there are many
difficulties in the way which nobody
can appreciate unless they are on the
spot in Washington
While the situation in Washington
has seemingly improved to some ex-
tent since the late Senator Gibson
wrote, nearly twenty years ago, the
money is still unpaid, and as the
present session of congress is nearly
at an end, there is small prospect
that payment will be authorized by
the present body, but whether the
payment is made now or later justice
and equity demand that the claims
of those who paid the original tax
should be settled before dollar of
the money is devoted TO any other
purpose, however worthy.

In a letter to President o. Wollen-
