owners of more land, more coal. more
timber, more cattle, more oil per
capita than are the whites OF the ma
ton in which they dwell. The per
capita value of their wealth is not
such that any question of its prece-
dence may be raised. They are six
times as rich as is the average citi-
ben Of the United States ana that CIT
izen is the wealthiest in the world
when they are excepted. In fact, IL
the wealth of the Indians was equally
distributed among the 100000 mem
bers of the race dwelling within the
United States. each of these would be
possessor of $4,000 worth of it. This
is an am bilious showing IN comparl-
son with that of the hundred million

each on the average.
The basis of Indian wealth is real
estate. When the white man came
to America the Indians owned the
continent. From the standpoint Of
the money value of their land, how
ever, they were not as rich as might
be supposed. Real estate is valuable,
other things being equal, in proper

near it. Rich Ohio farm lands then

driven back until they occupied those
