claims assuming much importance, on account Of
their magnitude, and OF their manifest justice, ADD Of
the pressing demands for their payment which have
been made both by individuals Interested, asi BY The

of vast speculation. by which our own people would
profit.

These claims for spoilation, under treaties carry N
tcresi and before the next administration shall come
into power, they may amount 10 hundred millions.
The Indians concerned have had. believe, ou, oae

Government 20 the amount OF twenty millions Of
dollars
This Government is bound BY the treaty. accord

The CLAIMS which have already come IN and ahcs
are coming and which Will arse after another WIN
