THE MONTANA MASSACRE IN CONGRESS

THE MONTANA MASSACRE IN CONGRESS
1t was President Grant himself who initiated
the humane or Quaker" policy toward the
Indians, which has been carried out with such
remarkable success during the past year IN
great part of the Indian regions west of the
Mississippi. At the same time he urged the
transfer of the Indian Bureau 10 the War De-
partment. and sought by a variety Of means
military and pacific. to bring to an end the
Indian troubles, which seemed intermlnabe
under the old system With his policy. which
has been in operation for nearly a year, we
have had fewer reports of outrages by tie
Indians. and counter-outrages by United States
troops. than we have ever before had in any
wear since the whites took possession OF the
Plains.
The Piegan massacre in MOntana-tle re-
ports of which we recently received from the
military authorites-is the first serious a!iair
of nature contrary to Grants policy which
has occurred during his administration. IL was
brought before Congress yesterday by Mr.. Sar-
gent on the introduction of the Indian Appro-
priation bill; and, at the request of Mr.. Paine.
the reports of Gen. Sheridan giving an ac-
count of the affair were read TO the House.
BY these reports it appeared that in October
last Sheridan got up plan for putting a stop
to the depredations of the Piegan tribe, by
suddenly striking them n good hard blow
-" where it hurts" about the time they should
he rendered helpless by the heavy SHOWS OF
Winter. On the 10Th of last January, he gave
his order to this effect to Gen. Hardie. con-
handing in Montana. who immediately sent
out Col. Baker with a military force to execute
the order IL seems to have been executed
quickly and in the most sangulnary style; for
ON the Goth Gen. Sheridan reported to Wash
inptou that Bakers expedition had been COM
pletely successful-having killed 173 OF the
pieeans and otherwise committed great de-
struction. But few details were given in tho
report, which was a model of directness and
breyity. Some additional circumstances how
over, were referred to in the House yesterday.
which appeared in q letter written by Mr..
Vincent Colyer, who obtained his information
from two army officers stationed in Montans.
BY this document it appeared that but few
warriors were killed by Col. Baker in the mas
sacre-eighteen Of the victims being old men.
and one hundred and forty of them women
and children. These are dreadful statements
which Mr.. Paine declared in the House he
could not believe; but he said that Gen. Sher-
idan's responsibility was certainly very grave
if he had ordered the massacre.
This matter must be investigated. and tho
facts obtained 1t is shameful TO have such
statements published by authority, il they are
false; it is terrible to think of what happened
if they are true.

THE FREE TRADERS Rally

We do not cOndemn--On the contrary, we
honor-the Free Traders for raising money to
promote their cause. If they would honestly
confess the truth that much Of this money is
paid by foreigners interested in breaking down
our Home Manufactures, should honor
them still moro. The American names put for
ward IA those of the contributors to their fund
deceive none but those who wish to be de-
ceived. The money is really paid by those
who are to be most benefited by its expendi-
ture, as it should be and the pretense of sub
scriptions of 5000 annually by others only
serves to demonstrate that they dare not let
the truth be known
Mr. Jackson S. Schultz, who presided over
their meeting, is a very extensive tanner-a
business wherein he is immensely favored by
the fact that we are annually destroying mil
lions of tuns of tho primitive forest, largely
composed of trees whose bark furnishes the
elements principally employed in tanning.
These elements are thus obtained by our tan
ners for less than half their cost in Europe.
In other words, Mr.. Schultz and his friends in
the Swamp enjoy Protection against their
European rivals in the cost of their materials far
exceeding the 50 per tun accorded to American
makers of Pig Iron. If European tanners
could obtain hemlOck bark or its cquva-
lent as cheaply as Mr. Schultz does. they
would soon run him out of the business or into
bankruptcy; and yet he can talk of monop-
olics," "selfsh men," "bounties," &C., &c,
as recklessy if not glibly as the hired orators
OF the Free Trade League. Nay; he sees fit
to talk of the protected pursuits as insignif-
cant" and doubt that the manufacturing and
mechanical interests which now enjoy Protec-
ton really desire any more than they deserve
it. There are nsolence and imposture involved
ia the attempt of one exceptionally situated as
Mr. Schultz is, identifying himself with those

MORE MUNCH4ESEN-

Whether truth lies at the bottom OF a well
or not, it certainly does not at the bottom OF
Mr. Wells's reports. We publish a communica-
ton from Mr. III. c. Carey, giving the results
of further investigation into the alleged facts
of the Commissioner. These results very 40.
riously interfere with the effect of Mr.. Weiss
adroit address to farmers, showing the greater
value to them of hundred bushels OF wheat
under free trade than under protection. The
Commissioner represents the happy farmer. in
his favorte free trade year OF 1859, as receiving
on an average 81 d per bushel for wheat
According to the tables Of The Journal Of Com-
merce, the price for that year varied according
to quality from 81 0Oi to 81 81. The Com
missioner is guilty therefore of having stated
the average price as 2! cents above that OF the
highest grade in the market. On the other
hand, in the protective year OF 1917
the unfortunate husbandmaD, according 10
Mr.. Wells, received but 81 50 on IA
average. The lowest grade of wheat quoted
really brought 81 so for that year, the highest
81 S3a; so that Mr. Weiss average is 10 cents
lower than that of the lowest grade. Upon
these gross misstatements the Commissioner
piles others; and having stated the prices Of
wheat according to his own sweet will, he tries
to show farmers how much salt they can buy
with their wheat under the two systems.
Here again his figures assume purely fanciiui
FORMS In the'free trade year of 1859 Mr. Wells
puts the finest Liverpool salt at 90 cents
which WAS 10 cents lower than the average
and exactly the price of the coarsea
grade. Another gturn of the Commission
er's kaleidoscope, and fresh scene is
exhibited of the deplorable disadvantages
of protection in 1869 with salt at his average Of
81 so, which this time is the exact price OF the
highest grade. By thus taking the lowest
price for the average one in 1859, and the high
est in 1869, the Commissioner makes magnih-
cent showing which utterly falsfes the saying
that figures cannot le.' Mr.. Carey's artict
deserves careful perusal. After this additions
expose, the public will have little difficulty
forming correct opinion of the trustwortw
ness of the Commissioner and his reports.

WORKING WOMEN THEIR WAGES AND
HOMES

Tho contributor who tells our readers some
thing this morning of workingw0men and their
wages has made so careful study OF her sub
iect and taken such wise means to inform her
self upon It, that her statements. much as they
differ from the staple assumptions of the news
papers, must be received with respectful con-
alteration. The distress of workngwomen is
not to be relieved by taking for granted that
they are uniformly underpaid, and demanding
that their wages shall be raised. IL it is true
that while the capable and industrious can
earn as much as their labor is WORTH and with
due care can live decently upon their earnings;
if it ia true that women are sorely wanted in
respectable aYocations which false pride bars
them from entering; if il is true that the effort
to provide them with cheap and comfortable
homes is partially failure because after the
homes are built the women will not live in
them, then for the relief of the present dis
tress we must try means far different from
those we have been trying. Observe, our con
tributor does not question that misery enough
exists among the workingwomen. There arc
tho feeble, the naturally incapable the widows
burdened with young children, the girls
upon whom disabled parents depend Tor sup
port. and there are finally hundreds Oh th"'

are invariably pushed to the wall IN INC
scramble for place How to relieve these poor
creatures il always problem, but It Is one
which does not belong to the woman question
alone. for there are thousands of men IN DIS
,ress through the same or analogous causes. we
know moreover that there is u world OF misery
which lies hidden from the light; there Is
starvation in dismal novels which the step oil
the social economist never approaches, and the
Song of the Shirt is droned from weary week
10 week in garrets which few of us know any
thing about. For all this it is true, as the
writer of our article asserts, that thousands OF
families are ready to give easy work with good
wages TO respectable women, and the respect
able women will staIve on sx-pence day
rather than take it. II is true that great
deal of tho misery Of the female working-class
is owing to an absurd feeling that domestic
labor is degrading and that social position"
is one of the first necessities Of life. So while
some departments of industry are Overcrowded
others are in absolute want of workers.
Whether anything can DO dono to dsabuse
poor American women of these erroneous ideas
we are by no means certain. At any rate the
evil ia likely to DO exaggerated by eloquent
reformers who decry the drudgery Of house
