To The Editor OF The Washing ton Times:
me statement in another newspaper
mat FOOD prices IN washington markets
had taken a drop was indeed very
amusing. In this city during the past
week there has been no decline IN the
prices OF food stun: neither has there
been any drop IN price Of food products
IN any city in the country for the past
week generally speaking.
The price of meats IN the Washington
markets on January were practically
the same as they were on the Saturday
previous for the same cuts and qualities.
That the prices OF meat and vegetable
products are higher In Washington than
other cities IS not true. The fact IS
meat and other produce here IL cheaper
and has always been than IN other cities
excepting perhaps those cities located
IN the great beef raising and vegetable
producing section
The paper quotes prices Of leg OF lamb
Tor the past week in Washington mar
kets at % and . cents a 10. and in
baIlimore markets at 1Sc- There WIS
no time lasr week IN this city when a
nrst-class leg Of lamb could not be pur-
chased from I5C 70 1SC per pound
making an average lower price than
those quoted in Baltimore
The paper quotes home prices for
January for porterhouse steak as %
cents pound. and for sirIOfn Is cents 4
pound The bess cuts OF these steaks
are not sold here OF IN any other city
at such figures The same steak was
the same price last Saturday as on the
Saturday previous
That the prices Of all things IN Wash
lngJon, as well as al over The country.
are higher than they have been in years
past IS indeed, true But there's a good
reason Tor these enormous prices and I
cannot see that u should req lire any
great thinker TO find the cause OF these
continually Increasing prices. Nor does
u need a great man to prescribe a sure
ana permanent cure for this financial
malay The great trouble would be

century ago known as the great
northwest.
AS early as the war Of 1912 the
Sioux took up arms against the United
States in the latter's struggle with
Great Britain. Later the tribes were
pacitied aud treaties were signed. In
1887 the Dacotahs ceded to us all their
lands east of the Mississippi river for
100000. and our missionaries at
about the same time went out to edu.
cate and generally uplift them. As
pioneers began to gill up the middle
west the Sioux in 1851 sold Uncle
sam another slice of land. 35.000.OO0
acres. for $3.OOO.OO0. They kept for
themselves IN this tract reservation
20 miles broad by 140 miles long.
Then trouble set In. The settlers
ruthlessly cheated aud otherwise mo-
Tested the Sioux. The government
failed to keep IN full its treaties with
them. Hatred. ever near the surface
In an Indian nature. Jared up against
the white man. The first serious out
break occurred in 1854. when an army
lieutenant. Grattan by name, went
with u small detachment of troops to
arrest Sioux malefactor. He rashly
attacked a native village. and his
force was cut to pieces Then parties
of Sioux braves took the warpath and
spread devastation.
General Harvey met them In battle
at Little Blue Water. Sept. 3, 1855. and
defeated them. A council aud new
peace treaty followed. For a brief
time there was peace. But two years
alter war party massacred forty
seven white settlers at Spirit Lake. Ia.
This atrocity was followed by series
of wholesale murders elsewhere. The
climax came In 1862. when the Sioux,
under their chief Little Crow, declared
general hostilities. They were angry
because of Il misunderstanding In the
matter Of money due them from the
government and Oh account Of frauds
rracticed OH them by traders.
So they rose in body with the H.
tent of wiping Minnesota clear OF all
white inhabitants. Nearly l.UOO pioneer
men. women and children and nearly
100 soldiers fell before their onslaught.
They eniptied and partly destroyed the
town Of New Ulm and hesieged Fort
Ridgey The fort was saved from
utter destruction by the narrowest OF
margins. Other depredations ensued.
and for time 1t seemed "a though the
threat to drive the white men out OF
Minnesota would be fulfilled.
Encouraged by their Drethren's sue.
cess, the Sioux of Missouri aud the
prairies also went to war. But they
were at last beaten into submission by
Generals Sully and Sibley, who res.
cued many women and children held
prisoners by the savages.
More than LOO Indians were cap
tured. and II was resolved to make OF
them au example that should warn the
Sioux In future to respect our govern
ment. So 333 were tried. found guilty
and condemned. But Of all this mum.
Der only thirty-nine were actually put
to death for their crimes. The others
were finally set free.
Treaties were then made with nine
Sioux tribes. promising them certain
immunities. but in the same year (1S66)

Sitting Bull, cleverest and bravest Of
the Sioux leaders, never yielded to the
white man. In bis defiance be drew
hundreds Of formerly peaceful In
dams. In 1875 he and his band at
tackled the settlers in Montana, and
the following year General Crook was
detailed to quell the insurgents.
Crook In March Of 1875 destroyed the
Yellowstone valley village Of Crazy
Horse. who was one Of Sitting Bulls
principal allies. and was only pre-
vented by the bitter cold weather from
pushing his conquest still further.
That same summer an expedition
under General Terry was sent against
the Sioux In eastern Montana. Cen
eral George Custer. a tall. remarkable
looking man. with yellow golden hair
that flowed down to his shoulders,
WAS IN command of part of Terry's
troops. Custer had a civil war record
