Committee of Congress has no right to
demand an answer. I appreciate the
position you have assumed in the

the Indians were taken away from the
moral influence Of thieves, who fret stupe-
fed them with villainous whlskey and
tobacco, and then stole their annuitiee.
This sham deserves to be exposed before
II misleads the weak and credulous. The
proposed transfer would In no way affect
the relations of the religious societies to
the Indiaus, except for their ADVANTAGE,
by removing temptations which now de-
stroy all instruction, and by cultivating
habits which of themselves would have an
improving effect. The present policy is to
debase the Indian In order 10 make him n
more easy victim of cupiditv. The other
would be TO raise him up by better exam
pie and discipline.
The Indian Bureau was created In 1882,
and from that time until 1910 it was in the
exclusive charge of the War Department.
During those seventeen years the Choc-
taws, the Cherokees, the Chickasaws, the
Seminoles, and the Greeks, became more
civilized than all the tribes have done in
the twenty-seven years that have elapsed
since then. They had their own villages,
schools, churches farms, shops, cattle, and
horses. The number Of Indians was far
greater than now, but the whole expense
did not average two millions n year. In
1910 the Interior Department was estab-
lished by withdrawing various bureaus
from the other departments. In this way,
and for this reason only, the Indian SER
vice was transferred TO II. And from that
day forward the expenses have been grow
Ing gradually, until under GRANT they
have nearly doubled, while the Indians
have been constantly falling of. The fol.
lowing figures, furnished by the present
Commissioner of Indian Affairs, tell the
story for the last fourteen years on expen.
