by Cherokee"
Ladies' and Gentlemen, Friends
and Fellow Citizens:-I am up be-
fore you for my first time. l am
up before you upon one Of the
most important questions ever be-
fore you. Why is il important?
Your landed interests are involved. .
Now, gentlemen and fellow citi.
zens, | would not like for these
views to go down as political or
party views, but as my views 20
the people. Gentlemen, some
time ago / published or caused to
be published, a letter in THE IN
DIAN CHlEFTAIN giving my views
upon the landed interest both east
and west OF the Arkansas river.
In this letter ] said would favor
a sale west and an allotment east.
Why do | propose TO sell your
lands? IN my opinion you could
realize more money by sale and
pay it out per capita than by any
other known way. You have al
heard Of the s0-called Oklahoma
land, the strong arm Of the COM
pact Of the FIVE civilized tribes
something you had 10 protect
your so-called Cherokee strip.
Now, gentleman, the compact Is
broken and gone; the promised
land known as Oklahoma Is set
tied by citizens of the United
states to-day. My fears are, if
there is another territorial bill
started in congress il will be upon
the so-called Cherokee strip.
Hon. Chief Joel b. Mayes was
before the senate committee dur
ing the last congress. lie asked
them not to pass any bill, bat
come and see us, aud said he
didn't think We had any land 70
sell Now gentlemen, | believe
we should meet the commit.
tee intelligently, fairly and
squarely, aud if we haven't 60, a
price, set one. Mine is SO per acre.
Why is it three dollars? Because
we have been offered So. II the
honorable commissioners cannot
give this price, they will give us
the privilege 20 find some one that
will. Now, ,gentiomen, any reason
able proposition We might meet
those commissioners with, believe
coRgloss will raliiy Our lands
sold al .hc sasc Of of s3 per acre
