iath with the government but the fidelity had not
been reclpr0cated, and he hoped the white man
would hereafter at all times treat the Indians as his
brothers.
The fasehood contained In the above quoted lines
has been published In q thousand forms and more
extensively circulated than any truth ever could
hope to be. The false allegations that the Indians
faithful to treaty obligations, while the whites are
not. has been the burden Of the Indian ring
ists' song from time immemoriaL The truth
is exactly the other way. Almost In every
instance since the early settlement OF the country,
where treaties have been made with Indians the
whites have been faithful to their obligations and the
Indians have been the repudiators. Not q single
treaty has been made that has not been abro-
gated time after time by the Indians. They have no
idea OF the obligations Of treaty. and no disposition
TO observe Its stipulaons Every Indian within the
exterior boundaries OF the United States has made
dozens Of treaties OF peace with our government
Just how these treaties have been observed by the
Indians propose to show from certain official re-
ports now before me. The following Is small por-
ton Of well authenticated statement OF the way the
Indians In Arizona observe their treaty obligations.

| HOW INDIAN AGENTS GET RICH.
Indian agents appear to think that an Indian can
! do no wrong. They get rich by trading with them,
and are OF course anxious that their trade shall
tlnue. Major Douglass OF the Third infantry makes
