THE COTTON TAX
AND REVENUE.

The attempt of some Of the ad-
vocatss of the amendment to the
tariff bill imposing . tax OF $50
per hundred bales on cotton sold
for future delivery to figure out
that at least $1,000, 900 of revenue
would result to the Treasury 10
ridiculous in tho extreme. The
whole purpose of the proposed
tax 10 to absolutely prohibit trad
ing in futures and the notion that
hedge" trading would survios the
general destruction Of tho contract
buinsss 10 absurd. The line Of
dsmaroation between tho purchase
or sale Of "hsdges" and general
speculation 10 purely imaginary
and the purchaser Of . contract
has no means Of knowing whether
tho cotton sold him 10 . nero
hedge or . purely speculative
transaction. What everybody
knows. however, 10 that every con-
tract bought or sold implies de-
livery, and it 10 within the power
of tho holder Of the contract to
exact delivery if hs 20 desires.
Therefore. every contract for fu-
turs delivery 10 . perfectly lsgiti-
mate transaction, whether it b
regarded % . hedge or not.
The inevitable result of shs en-
aotmsnI into law Of the proposed
tax on trading in cotton for future
delivery would be to destroy the
| American contract markets and
transfer tho whole business to the
European exchanges, particularly
the Liverpool market. The tax
would, therefore, yield no revenue
whatever, - it would DO prohibi.
tive. The one patent fact which
tho advocates of this GLASS Of Leg.
islation seem to overlook 10 that
the great speculative markets ab.
solutsly control the price Of the
commodities traded in. II Liver.
pool should become the great cen.
trail contract market for cotton il

ing.
While the destruction OF DON.
tract trading in American markets
would cause loss to merchants,
brokers and spectators, such los.
SOS would be but temporary, a.
they would in moot cases transfer
their interests TO Liverpool. The
loss to the Southern cotton pro.
duoers would be permanent, how
ever, a. every crop would have to
bear its share of the depreciation
that would result from the sacri-
fee Of the control Of prices which
tho American markets now enjoy.
If it is right and proper to pre-
vent speculation in cotton it should
be equally proper to prevent spec
