WASHINGTON LETTER.
Washington , D .0. , Oct. 19 , ' 84.
A strong pressure will be brought
to bear upon the approaching session
of Congress to do something toward
the amelioration of the present con
dition of our Indians. What a terri
ble story comes to us of the famish
ing Piegans who are being decimated
by disease brought on for want of
proper food ! And the stories are true ,
because they come from official
sources dispatched by the Govern
ment for the express purpose of inves
tigating them. In tin's Indian busi
ness we have held a inosl. unhappy po
sition from the time.that we have un
dertaken an Indian policy. The solu
tion of the aboriginal problem has
been tried by every President from
Washington to Arthur , and Mr. Jelf-
erson whose Quaker policy was first
inaugurated made a more dismal fail
ure of it than Grant did a-half a cen
tury later. "We should govern them
by love and kindness , " said Mr. Jeff
erson , and so he sincerely endeavored
to do , but the contractor was abroad
in the land as he has ever been since ,
and the Indian Bible of Eliot has been
transformed into a euchre-deck , and
the principal English that the Indian
first acquaints himself with is that
used for the choicest of profanity.
Though the maintenance of an army
of school teachers may be cheaper
than that of soldiers , and school books
less expensive' than cannon , there is
still a sentiment among a large portion
tion of the American people that civ-
ilizaticn has got to be crammed down
the throat of the red man , as turkeys
are stuffed for Christmas.
From official data furnished by the
director of the mint , we find that the
whole circulation of money in the
country on October 1st was $1,806-
425,054 , or thirty-three dollars per
capita , were it not for the fact that
more than one-quarter of this vast
sum is lying idle in the Treasury
vault ! Of the § 814,000,000 in gold
and silver coin in existence here ,
§ 386,000,000 or neaely one half lies
rusting in rotten canvass bags , not
only earning nothing but depriving
the business interests of the country
of the means to contribute to the pros
perity of the people. And the useless
taxation of the people continues on.
Instead then , of having thirty-three
dollars per capita of circulation , we
only have a little more than twenty-
four per capita , which is less than that
of France , Germany , England , or even
Italy with all her paupers. What
kind of statesmanship is it that thus
hoards up in the Government coffers
the money that is absolutely robbed
from the people in the way of taxation
when there is no earthly occasion for
it ? Another beautiful illustration of
our monetary system is the fact of our
coining 2.000,000 silver dollars per
month under the requirements of the
Jaw , when we have 142,000,000 of
these same dollars locked up , and all
the available space in the Treasury
Viiults filled up with them !
l"n the quiet of a sabbath afternoon
visu the dark and bloody ground
at Blatensburg ? , which is about a
twenty minute's horseback ride from
the ca'pitol. In the memorable epoch
of duelling , when every man's wound
ed honor carried its appeasement in a
vicious-looking horse-pistol , this spot
was the chosen field for both civilians
and knights of war. It was here that
the youthful Decatur went to his doom
"by the unerring aim of Barren. It was
here that Cilley , a member of Con-
o-ress from Maine , bit the dust when
Graves , of Kentucky , got in his work
first. It was here that Clay received
the fire of Randolph after delivering
his own , and each , finding the other
unhurt , fell upon each other's neck
and wept. It was here that Thomas
H. Benton , Henry A. Wise , and a
core of other Congressmen have met
a nd settled their differences either by
t he code or by compromises and mut-
u x 1 concessions. The place is pecul
iar ! y adapted by nature for the pur
pose to which these sensitive public
men. ptft it , for it was at that time sur
rounded by a dense forest of trees , at
a suitable distance from the road to
avoid scrutiny from meddlesome passersby
ersbyThe spot is a broad plat of '
jrrcundjust east of the Baltimore turn-
Jike , and by * the side of a sluggish rut _
tie stream that has its source at ft
spring near the village of deng.
burg. There is a willow tvec pantei ]
at the exact spot wher e uilley fell )
which has now grown. to large proportions
tions , and the tr.titions { of the spot
ire suggestive of the difference in the
ntensity of regard for one's honor
jjen'and now. DOM PVSDKO.
