Now, air, have done nothing but What
this decision Of Mr. Delano authorized me
TO do; and yet my property Is seized by au-
thorlty OF the GoVernme the fruits Of years
OF toll destroyed, and myself arrested and
Rrreigned as n criminal. ......f
The Government Is expanding millions OF
dollars TO Inspire the Indians with a taste
for agriculture and industry. The first ex-
pertinent ever made by An Indian In manu-
factures was made By me. When ] eStab-
fished, on an unpretending basis, my factory
two years ago, there had not been raised In
the Cherokee Nation one thousand pounds
Of tobaecoi thlG year the crop produced By
Cherokee Indians alone exceeds GlxtY thou
sand pounds. l have distributed tobacco
seed gratultously among the Indians, and
next year not lesa than quarter Of million
pounds would have been produced by the
Cherokees alone, but for this Interference. /
am the FIRST Indian that ever attempted to
rival my pale-face brothers In the business
Of manufacturing, and scarcely have sue
seeded when the power OF this great Gov
eLnmont 10 put forth 70 crush my enterprise.
