01
gines Honestly and hlas Peace-Canty- a
da Intent Upon Changing Her Indlan
Bureau. p
lOhicago Times.] n
Few Amerloans know what It costs i
Canada to be honest to her Indians. h
The total Indian population of the Do- 6
minion, according to the report of the
Department of the Interior for 1877, is W
91 900.
Ihe amount spent on Indian appro
priations by the Dominion during the t
fiscal year ending the 30th of June last s
was $276,335, so that each redskin costs
the country about $3 a yearP This 8
money is spent in various ways. Con- b
siderable sums are scattered among
them in the shape of presents, and the s
cost of surveying and laying out re
serves is also very heavy. In addition
to this, 1330,000 is spent every year on
the mounted police force in the north- b
west, the chief aim and object of which s
Is the suppression of the liquor traffic ti
among the aborigines. Hence her 92,
000 Indians cost the Dominion $600,000
a year, equal to an outlay of $6 000,000
a year in the United States. ilesides n
this, the Indian is favored in other mat
ters, which favors add to the burdens of ii
his white brother. For instance, he is
exempted from the payment of tolls
and taxes levied on the general commu
nity for the construction of roads and
bridges.
No customs du ties are exacted upon
the animals, furs or merchandise which
he imports or exports. These abate
ments- large in the aggregate-are vir- V
tually money puyments on Indian ac- C
count. The total Indian outlay in fact 1
does not fall short of $750,000 a year or
$8 a head of the Indian population. The
Indian legislation of the Dominion is t
now based on the principle that the
aborigines are to be ept in a condition
of tutelage and treated as wards or chil
dren of the State. Every effort has been
made to lift the red man into a higher
condition and to encourage him to as
sume the duties and responsibilities of l
full citizenship, but in vain His Maker
evidently never intended him to become
a citizen anywhere. In the Indian set
tlements in Ontario, Quebec Nova Sco
tia and Prince Ed ward Island, where the
process of civilization has been indue
triously applied to him, he will shoot
and fish and sell baskets, but for work
on his reservation he has no taste, and
nothing on earth will or can induce him
to take to it. In British Columbia and
the northwest, where civilization isyeta
novelty, he is just as much civilized as
he is in the other provinces where every
machination of philanthropy, including
the Sunday school, has been brought to
bear on his nature.
Disheartened by their failure to make
a citizen out of him, Dominion states
men have these ten years past made
him their idiot ward, cramming him
with lollipops, and rigging him out "to
kill" every year in the best of blankets,
Brummagem rifles, and tin medals sup
posed to have come direct from the
Great Mother in Windsor Castle. In
thus treating him, the Dominion has
without doubt been honest, but a change
of policy is imminent. The people who
have vast obligations to meet for public
works, immigration, etc.. cannot longer
afford to supply the Indian with the
bread of idleness, and furthermore his
removal from the prairies of the
northwest has become necessary in
the interest of the speedy colonization
of that region. The sixty thousand In
dians in British Columbia and the north
west must get further back and let the
white man and the railway in, or else
get out. Between pushing Lo further
north and kicking him out altogether,
there is no material difference, for he
cannot live in the Arctic circle, and a
glance at the map will show that the
next remove will land him there. In a
year or two at the outside this change
of policy will be entered on, for already
there are loud complaints that he is in
the way. The construction of the Cana
dian Pacific railway through the buffalo
grounds on the Saskatchewan will top
ple him into the front yard of the north
pole, and what then? Will he consent
like a decent idiot ward to die of frost
bites and hunger, or will he make a final
stuggple for existence in the last ditch?
That s the Indian problem which Cana
dian statesmen are now contemplating
with something of a puzzled look.
THE SPANIMUH SLAVE TRADE.
The Manner in Which Chinese Coolies
are Drought to Cuba-A Protest from
the Chinese Emperor and a Possible
War.
By virtue of the treaty between Spain
and China, made in 1873. an investiga
ting committee of the most influential
Chinese was recently sent to Cuba to in
vestigate the manner in which the Chi
nese immigrants were treated in Cuba.
The commission made a long and thor
ough investigation, visiting all the barra
coons, plantations and desposdos, where
the Chinese coolies were keptor worked.
The result of these investigations. but
recently published, shows that Spain is
to this very day, carrying on a slave
trade in coolies, in which almost all the
atrocities of the old slave trade still
prevail.
By the treaty between China and
Spain it was expressly stipulated that
no Chinaman should be carried to Cuba
except with his own consent. The Com
missioners assert that in violation of
this obligation the greater part of the
Chinamen have been taken to Cuba by
abduction or seduction, that before they
were shipped they were treated as pris
oners in the barracoons at Macao, and
that they were even kept in solitary
confinement. "Out of every ten China
men," the report states, "eight or nine
were taken to Cuba against their will."
As a proof of a still lower depth of this
Infamy, the Commissioners found in
Cuba some twelve persons of official
position and literary rank in the Chi
nese Empire, who were condemned
against their will to hard labor in the
fields and menial service in houses in
the rural districts.
The report and the corroborative doc
uments also prove that during the voy
age-from China to Cuba the colonists
were treated as slaves, and subjected to
such cruelty that many, in despair,
cast themselves into the sea. The pic
ture of the misery and filth, in which
they are huddled together like cattle
and of the scantiness of the food doled
out to them, makes one shudder. It is
the opinion of the commissioners that
one of every ten colonists dies on the
passage.
"As soon as the colonist reaches
Cuba," the report goes on to state, "his
services are sold at a far higher figure r,
than the price of his transportation a
the rate ruling between $400 and
$1000. The salary paid to them
is so insignificant that, relatively to
the prices of the necessaries of life
in Cuba and China, it is less than
what the colonist would earn by any o
class of labor in his native country.
Witnesses testified that the colonists tA
were forced to work on Sundays and
holidays, and for a longer time than the 0
ten hours stipulated in the rules. When
contracts expire, the Chinamen are ob- T
liged to re-engage themselves under
pain of being put to labor like convicts
on the municipal or government works,
and this outrage is repeated at the ex
piration of their second contract. * *
Suicides and violent deaths are pre-emi- I
nently the results of this miserable ex
istence. Of the 140,000 Chinamen who
have landed in Cuba since 1847, not
60,000 survive.
The treaty for voluntary emigration
was made in 1864, and since that (late
over 30,000 colonists have died in Cuba.
When the commissioners met to study
the case, the Chinese government in
sisted, as a preliminary condition, that I
Spain should, at her own expense, re
store to their native country all the
Chinamen of literary and official rank
before referred to; and as Spain con
sented to it, it was determined that this
should be done.
Then the Emperor's government pre
sented a plan of settlement with Spain,
by which it was stipulated that a Con
sulate-General of China should be es
tablished in Havana; that the emigra
tion should be voluntary in fact; that it
should be limited to such ports of the
Empire as were open to foreign com
merce; that the contracts should
be made in Havana instead of
in China, and in presence of the above
mentioned Chinese consul. The Chi
nese government also insisted that a
higher rate of pay than what had pre
viously ruled should be inserted in the
contracts; that the term of service be
be reduced; that at the expiration of
the term of service the colonists should
be allowed to remain in Cuba, if they
wished to do so, without the obligation
of re-engaging their services or of work
ing on public works, the Chinamen giv
- ing proper security for their good be
havior, and that the persons who hired
them should deposit at the consulate
the price of their return passage to
China; and lastly, further measures of
protection were demanded from Spain,
which should be valid and subject to the
approval of the government of Pekin.
After many conferences and plans
proposed, no satisfactory arrangements
seem to have been arrived at. he Chi
neoeo guvernment exacts, as a proof of
Spain s good faith, that she restores to
their country thousands of Chinamen
whose first contract has expired., Which
- Spain declined to do.
The appointment of a new Spanish
c Minister to China has tended to delay
the negotiations. The practical result
1 appears to be a rupture between the two
governments. Should such be the case,
it is not impossible that Spain, abusing
her naval strength, may annoy the com
s paratively defenseless inhabitants of
the coasts of China; but the Asiatic
p slave trade can never be revived, and
this last Spanish atrocity will be for
e ever ended.
