The possibility of number of Indian
millionaires in this country in one or two
generations is one which has been barely
suggested, but is worthy of consideration,
in view of the fact that the number of the
Indians is rapidly diminishing, while the
amount of land belonging to them re-
mains the same and their funds are in
creasing. The value of their land is also
beroming annually greater, and as 100000
InJians now own $4,000 acres, it is easy
to SEQ that the Indians are themselves
greatly profited by dying of as rapidly As
they can, since the faster they go the
richer will be the survivors, The aborig
ines, therefore, in the persons of their
latest surviving representatives,, will be
among the richest men in the country,
and viii be howled at 10y the "subsidized
press" as vile oppressors of the poor.
