Even this amount was not to the In ii'uiiis outright. It was to bo invested by the government, and for fifty years the interest was to be paid the Sioux ; they wire to be provided with agricultural implements, seeds, cows and educational advantages. These were the terms of the contract. Tim Sioux kept their part of the bar gain faithfully. Our government vio lated every single article of its agree ment. It paid noannuities. It gave no Heeds, no agricultural implements, no aids at all to civilization. At this time the Sioux were willingand anx ious to become civilized. Had our government kept its pledges there would be no "Indian pioblem" con fronting tho nation to-day. Instead, there would be a community of quiet, thruty farmers. Miiidi.eswaiuh.
