terly Of it. They say that while their
treaty advantages are superior to many
ether tribes, yet they are far behind them
in every respect.
These are the causes Of existing dis
satisfaction among the Indians referred to.
Are they not just causes? In addition
the very men who have been flching from
them, and who are now acting with those
who are attempting to overturn our Gov
eminent, took advantage Of this state Of
affairs, and have for months past been
poisoning the minds of the Indians against
the Government, by telling them that all
this bad treatment was by the express
order Of their fGreat Father at WASH
ington, and that he and all white settlers
who sustain him were aiming to reduce,
subiugate and pass them into slavery
among the negroes. This was the course
being pursued by those who claim to be
civilized, patriotic, American citizen.
Hence the apprehended Indian troubles
in this portion Of Nebraska. Whether a
similar course has been pursued with
other tribes remains yet to be seen.
This is the condition in which hat model
Agent, Dennison, left the Ottoe and Mis-
souria Indians, and the condition in which
the present Agent, Baker, finds them
Mr.. Baker has left no effort undone to
undeceIve these Indians, and to restore
and loyalty. He has succeed
ed beyond the expectations Of those ac-
quainted with the facts, and while he con-
tinues their Father" no trouble need be
apprehended from that sources.
He has secured the services, as Farm!
er, of Hon. S. A. CnAMBERs, of this
county, who is in every way competant
for the position, and is giving the farm his
personal and undivided attention. More
land will be broken this season and put
cultivation, and we have reason to
before his term of Office expires
he will so instruct and encourage the In
dians that they will raises all the provisions
they need.
Mr.. Baker intends, so soon as the crops
are planted, to furnish lumber and teach
and encourage the Indians to build them
comfortable houses. He will also
make every effort TO have a school estab-
ished among them, and in every way
carry out the wise and humane design of
he General Government.
Our space is limited by reason of tele-
reports, and we are thus precluded

The Indians.

Those who have read regularly the tel

two months ago It was announced that
the Southern Confederacy" bad been Of

western Indians. With others, we have

The daily exchange. [volume] (Baltimore, Md.) 1858-1861, 1861-04-02

Yesterday the MORRILL, Tariff Bill went into
operation. In connection with this fact, it may
not only prove interesting, but suggestive to
many of our readers to present brief history of
the various Tariff Bills that have been framed,
either for purposes of revenue or the protection of
domestic manufactures, since the organization of
the Federal Government.
The first Tariff of the country was the Tariff of
1889, which was framed solely for revenue, the
protection afforded by it to our home manufac-
lures being mere incidental consideration, and the
scale ofduties being very moderate. Various amend
ments were subsequently made to this act, some
times increasing, and at other times decreasing the
rates OF duties, until the year 1904, when the last
important alteration prior to the War of 1912 was
made. The act thea passed was still moderate
Revenue Tariff, and was adhered to until after
the commencement of the War of 1872, when an
ADDITION OF leo per cent. was made TO the then
existing Tariff rates, for the purpose of increasing
the receipts of the Government from its customs.
After the ratification of Peace in 1916, the neces-
Shy or the continuance of these high rates having
ceased the subject was taken up by Congress in
fe'iuary, 1916, and the addition of 100 per cent.
was reduced to AZ per cent. 1t was not, however,
suhefeu 10 rest here. The Tariff of 1889 was
very imperfect one, and was not at all adapted to
Wv 1850 " .ne country at this time, even
as . means Of raising revenue for the mp-
