Annn.I YI.,i of Indians

HnKNA, VI. T., Sept l2.-Ihc people liv.
ing In the vicinity OF the Sioux reservation
In Dakota and tho Cheyenne reservation In
Montana have been taking active steps this
year TO put a stop 20 the custom through
which THESE Indians make annual visits 10
each other on the plea that II IL necessary
for them to look after the condition II their
cattle. The sayagrs make this n prctcnsc
for long absences, which arc no less than
plundcrng aud marnuding expeditions.
This has hccn the experience with them be.
fore. There DOES not seem "a be- any good
ra-un for tho continuance of the custom
aud tho SETTLERS arr always In fear at their
lives or losing valuable property when the
Indians make their pilgrimnrvs. In view of
preventing o repetition Ut the affair that
occurred ON the Little Horn last summer,
In which n skirmish took place between
the military and the Indians, which
resulted In settlers nsidng along

OF the smaller concerns closed. Several OF
the larger manufacturers came together and
agreed to establish and maintain n price on
our goods which would return a fair profit
Just at that time the Mills bill was presented
10 Congress, proposing 10 put our goods on
the free list. This threatened our plants, for
there are in India, near Calcutta twenty
nine mills, twcntysiX Of which are in
trust, II the duty on bagging should be re-
moved or materially reduced, we could not
compete with these mills, which could put
their product on the New Orleans market
under g cents yard, consequently 10 tho
losses of the past three years would be added
the loss Of our plants. With this danger
threatening us, the price OF our goods was
put at 80 10 IL cents yards which action
has caused 80 much unjust criticism.
But just consider these further facts
which bear upon the other side Between
1870 and 1850 the price Of balg,ng was from
u to Is cents yard, yet there was then no
complaint made, The planters now COM
plain because they have become used 10
having their bagging almost given 10 them
and they make upon II only 80 per cent,
profit instead Of nearly 100 per cent, MS be.
fore. For notice; the price Is now ~ cents
yard for bnggng weighing two pounds Ia
the yard. IL requires six yards to n bale Of
cotton, costing the planter 72 cents. No
tarc is allowed in this country ON cotton, 80
the planter sells his bagging at the same
price that lac sells his cotton, say at o cents
n pound. Six yards OF bngginR will weigh
twelve pounds, which sold nj % cents a
pound, returns TO the planter Sl.OS, netting
him 80 cents profit or 80 per cent. In addi-
ton 10 this profit hc sells the iron bands
which cost him about 3 cents pound for .
cents n pound. In the face Of those facts Il
seems right that we, too should he allowed
10 make affair profit II We had shut down
at the end of last year, a panic would now
prevail among the planters, aud they would
be forced To take whnt imported material
they could get and pay the importers price
for H. What is there in the case 10 criiicisc
NJ sharply much less TO call for special lcgis-
lation, designed to ruin great American
industry which, upon this very showing is
no oil grnsping monopoly.
