OTR INDIIN POLICY.

With the ridiculous failure of the Sitting
Bull Commission, another chapter terminates
in the history of mismanagement which il
dignified with the name of our Indian Policy.
The chapter ends appropriately. Nothing less
or more could have been reasonably expected
as the result The savage chief sneers at the
offer of our Commissioners. as well he may.
He knows what those promises amount to.
He does not care to enter again on such an
exporience as he and others of his race
have passed through 80 often; an ex-
rerience that begins with presents and
ends with deceit and starvation; an
experience which is the natural OutgrOwth
of our system of conducting Indian affairs.
Sitting Bull has had brief opportunity OF see
ing something Of different system-that of
our Canadian neighbors-and he evidently pre-
fers it. There, at all events, be viii
deal with soldiers; not with con tractors
who make it q business to cheat, nor with
the people of the border who have their Own
motives for fomenting Indian wars. The saw
age is more than half right; he certainly sees
through the Indian policy, as conducted by our
Department of the Interior, more clearly than
does the Government with whose Commission
ers be has refused TO treat.
Thank TO the valor of our army. to the
fierce attack of General GibbOn. to the swift
marches and admirable military skill Of Gen
eral Miles, parallel chapter of Indian history
has ended quite otherwise. But only 10y su-
preme effort was this different result
effected, and portion of the Nez Perc6s
did succeed in making their escape over
the border, and joining the bands of Sit
ting Bull. If they had all escaped thus,
the new problem would have been greater and
somewhat more complicated, but we doubt
whether the position of our Government, in
regard TO its attempted treaty with the savagcs,
would have been one whit more ridiculous
In general, the public has shut its eyes TO
the disgraceful character of our dealing with
the Indians. Perhaps we may now be stung
into temporary wakefulness. The process by
which Indian wars are brought about has been
frequently described. The appropriations made
10y Congress are amply sufficient to feed and
clothe the tribes. But not more than
half, it is estimated, of what the ma
ton expends, ever reaches those for
whom it is intended. Probably half the time
the Indians who are on reservations are scarcely
furnished with the absolute necessaries Of life.

II will illustrate their experiences to mention
that in at least one instance where brown soap
formed part of the insufficient nations, the In
dams eLed out their food supply by maklhg
sonp of the soap. The more peaccaDle Il
trilc is, the moro it is imposed upon ii
there is danger Of an outbreak, some
times the savage is placated by prompt
supplies-for brief period. But, on the
whole, it is more profitable for the Indian to
take to the war-path. 1t is profitable to the
contractors, because it insures the expenditure
of Government money along the line Oh
march. 1t is profitable to the savage, because
he can steal adj libitum during the first lew
months of the war; and after it is over,
the remnant of the tribe will be for
while loaded with ratiOns and presents.
The Indians who have remained half-starved
on their reservations, or who are to be trans
ported against their wishes to the Upper Mis-
souri,, will envy the offers that were so freely
made to Sitting Bull, and will naturally conclude
that the way to get six hundred cows and plen-
tiful blankets is not the way OF submission
to the Indian Bureau. IL is admitted that II
the control Of the Indians were wholly turned
over to the War Department, the business OF
cheating them would come to stop. There
would be little occasion for outbreaks, and
in case they occurred their suppression would
be prompt and decisive. The utter incompe-
tence of the Department of the Interior FOR
dealing with the Indians has been so ludi-
crously demonstrated that all the world will
laugh. But great nation cannot afford to
keep repeating such sorry tOmfOOlery.

The great reduction in loans, amounting to
nearly Q per cent since last year, and to 10
per cent since 1874, and in deposits. amount
ing TO 11.6 per cent since last year. and to
1876 per cent since 1874, gives an idea of the
decline in demand for banking facilities. But
the decline in reserve has been much greater.
The loss in legal tenders is over lS per cent
since last year, and over 80 per cent since 1874.
and vet az we have seen, the recent decline
has been unusually small. 1t does not appear
from Geographic reports that the grain move
ment, though smaller than was expected. has
been small enough to explain fully the change.
But the reserves Of legal-tender at Boston and
Philadelphia have been reduced quite largely,
within three weeks nearly $3,000,000 There
has also been considerable increase in the
circulation of the national banks, amounting
to nearly $12 1000, 600 for only two of the
three weeks. Ii is also probable that the in
crease in number and general use of Clearing
House facilities has materially diminished the
amount of actual cash required for the ready
exchange Of products. The encouraging fact
is that the outflow of lcgal-tenders has
been less than was expected. and 1t may be
hoped that, although the delayed cotton move
ment now begins to he active the drain from
the banks of this city may hereafter prove
somewhat less severe than it has been in
former years. The need of such relief Is OBJ
vious. Last year. after this date, the decline
In legal tender reserve amounted To $13,S00,-
600; in 1875 to $14,800,000; in 1874 to
$11 700, 900; and in 1872 to $11, 100000
Similar loss during the remaining weeks of
this year would put the reserve much below
the lowest point ever reached with safety.
One encouraging fact is that the amount of
money loaned on call, by the National banks
of this city, at least, is smaller than it was last
year According to the official reports made
October 1, the reduction in demand loans has
been nearly $12,OO0,00O during the past year
The following compares each form of loans ac-
cording to the returns of October |. 1877 and
October ., 1876, and the reserve held by the
