The United States government in its deal
ings with the Indians, has found no more for
midable obstacle in the path Of Cancellation
than those unscrupulous white men who make
business Of fomenting the worst passions of
the aborigines. An Indian war to such men
means only brisk trade and fortune gained
in the blood Of slaughtered settlers. The
recent letter Of the Secretary of the Interior,
addressed to Brigham Young shows that the
government at last thoroughly understands the
true position Of affairs on the frontier. He
says:-'I am apprehensive that there are some
evil-minded white persons who are, and have
been, contributing their influence to produce
dissatisfaction among the Indian population. :"
Alarming reports of hostilities on the frontier
are of frequent occurrence, and it makes no
small demand on the GOODNESS and judgment
of the officers of the government stationed
there to discriminate in such cases. The
treachery of the Indians is proverbial, but
much Of il Is eiggendered by white men who are
lost to all feelings save those Of making money,
no matter what vile means they employ for
that purpose The prompt punishment of such
men, when detected, would go further towards
abolishing Indian wars than all the military
power Of the government exerted against the
sawges themselves. They are the real authors
Of the n,iseries that periodically afflict the
frontier.

has been more faithfully collected than
under the preceding administration, we
do not see how the government could
otherwise apply the enormous surplus
revenue raised from the people than by
paying the debt Nor has this vast
revenue been productive of good only.
1t has kept up system of extravaganza and
has led to all sorts Of corruption and jobs in
Congress. Had taxation been greatly reduced
from the commencement of General Grant s
administration and the revenue cut down to
peace and an economical basis the country
would have been more prosperous. The hun
dreds Of millions taken unnecessarily from the
people and lying idle in part, in the Treasury
vaults would have cone into the channels of
industry and have added Immensely to our
productions. The credit of the government
would have been as well or better established
by smaller revenue and economy than by the
policy that has been pursued. This is fact
well known to all political economists.
The nation had shown already before
the commencement of General Grant
term of Office its ability and fixed purpose to
pay the debt. If a small amount compara-
lively had been applied to this object annu-
ally, and the government had returned to
strict economy, our securities, we have no
doubt, would have stood higher in the market
and we should have been nearer specie pay
ments The money which has been drawn
from business and industry and boarded in
the Treasury has not facilitated specie pay
ments, and has been loss in interest alone of
over twenty millions since March, 1869.
The administration party in Congress did,
within the last few months, bring about q re-
duction of taxation some forty to fifty millions.
It ought to have been a hundred millions at
least. The approaching Presidential election
probably led to this action. But it was too
partial. 1t was o halt measure. A more
thorough and bolder reform might have been
more advantageous to the administration in
the present political contest Upon the
principle that conservative people are dis
posed to bear the evils or state of things

river here and tracing it to lake, returning
for supplies; taking new direction to find
another river and lake, and then connecting
these with the former as the links Of
