/ Bill to Consolidate Indian Rcserva-
lions

WASHINGTON. May 27.-A hill introduced
in the hnnse to-day Ivy the chairman of the
Indian affairs committee. and which was
prepared by the Indian bureau. provides
far the cot solidntion of II the Indians in
Oregon and Washington Territory uprn
: reservations. The Warm Spring and
Unntilla lndans by this plan are TO be
taken to the Yakima reservation at an es-
tin atei cos. nf S35 900, and the effect of
releasing 123. 900 acres of land to settle.
meut. Thirteen reservations in Washing
Ton, comprising 334 900 acres, exclusive of
the Col.ille reservation, will be reduced TO
three. namely, Neah hay, Pny. llnp, and
Colville, al an estimated cost of $50. 900.
Sile'z and other Oregon Indians will be
placed on the Grand Roude reservation
The dozen of more tribes now on the Col
Vile reservation. together with all tribes
now in the western part of Washington
Territory will be restricted to the COMPARE
lively small area Of 10000 acres. and the
rest Of this enormous reservation, which
comprises $500 900 acres. will be thrown
open TO settlement. The bill provides for
release in other parts of the United States
of about "a. 900. 900 acres in addition to the
3 900. 900 above indicated. No changes
are proposed concerning reservations in
| California.
Thus the same day with the passage
Of bill to transfer Indian Bureau to War
Department, the Indian ring introduced
their pet scheme for consolidating all
the Indians Of Oregon and Washington
on to five reservations. Wont they
have merry time in making this cou-
solidation? The Indian Bureau seem to
assume that all which will b, necessary
for this purpose, will be to send out a
commission. provided with few Tesla
ments and Psalm books, and perhaps a
basin Of salt, who will call the Indians,
aud they will follow like flock of sheep.
But suppose the Indians are thus in
duccd to go, what kind of fence is to
be around these reservations to keep the
Indians there? The whole scheme is an
unmitigated hum sug, not worthy tae
brains of u child Of ten years who has
any knowledge of Indians. The scheme
is concocted for no other purpose than
to perpetuate the power Of the Indian
ring, and by that meaus make longer
and deeper drafts upon the Treasury OF
Uncle Sam

Yet anybody familiar with chirography, if his

money is taken out of other workingmen' S
pockets to pay the increased price of salt,
than the workingmen at Onondaga receive,
then, it becomes evident, it is the Onondaga
monopolising manufacturers, and not the
workingmen they employ, that are the 'pro-
tected" people. And this Is exactly the
state of the case. Every man who kills a
hog has to pay an extra price for the salt to
cure 1t, and every workingman whose family
eat the meat 80 cured has to pay an extra
price for 1t on account of the extra price of
the salt. The same thing is true of butter,
and many hundred article beside. Take
all the money the American working people
pay extra in this way, then subtract from it
the little extra wages paid to the working
men at the Syracuse salt works-if any such
are paid-and then calculate whether the tax
on salt is protection to American labor, or
an extortion upon American labor? Exam
ming in this way the effect of the syStenl, we
see what force there is in the question; Does
protection protect?

The protective system" of taxation is so
called because it is said to protect the labor
Of the workingman. Did the workingmen
OF this country really understand how their
interests are affected by this system, they
would soon Join in supporting the policy that
Is opposed to this form of defraudlng the peo-
pie. We ind an instance mentioned recent
ly that illustrates this. A boat of foreign
salt arrived in Buffalo from New York. The
tax on the salt amounted to just what the
canal freight would cost per ton from New
1 ork to Buffalo and back again to New
Gork-a distance by canal and river of one
thousand miles. This tax is levied. not for
the sake OF the revenue it will produce, but
to protect the mandatory of salt, known as
the Onondago salt company, of New York
BY this tax every consumer of salt has to nav
much above the value of salt In the worlds
market, and this payment is said
to constitute a protection to the labor
OF the workingman. Does it do
soP Supposng that the workingmen at
Syracuse get better wages from the owners of
the salt works than they would get at any
ether correspondent employment, then their
labor Is protected to that extent We say
suppose, for 1t is not probable, in fact, that
the salt manufacturers pay correspondinely
higher wages than other manufacturers. But.
