If every Indian present at the

Oot 15th 1893
James G Blalue in a apeeoh
made at Oaetie Garden immediate-
ly on hfs retnrn from Europe
said: "Capital can take oare of
itself” No on has ever contra-
dicted this statement In the old
countries horded wealth outlives
the ages Generations of men
may come and go but capital
"flows on forever so that as in
England a child may sometimes
inherit millions whilst other chil-
dren by thousands are crying for
bread But while It may be all
proper enough for capital to take
oare of itself it is certainly expe
diont that the people at large out
of whose small contributions cap!
tal is built up should also act with
7 eye to their interests
THE PBOPOBinon STATED
1 The Government is owing the
Oherokees a certain sum of money
2 This money Is drawing four
per cent per annum
3 The first installment is to be
paid March 4th 1895 the last in
stallment March 4th 1808
J 4 To realise present cash it is
proposed to disoount the credit of
the Government
(a) The argument in favor of
dispneal of the debt even at
discount that the “financial die
tren of the country may be relieved
( b ) The argument in opposition
is that it would be damaging to the
interests of the Cherokee people to so
dispone of said debt
First As to the' finanola! distress
of the eoantry From all the
elements involved in the question
that distress cannot extend further
than to those who sold things to
be paid for when tho atrip money
was received from the Govern-
ment and those who bought things
to be paid for at the same time
It is not at ail apparent that others
who ate not involved in the rela-
tions of creditor and debtor as
just suid are la anywise affected
by tho failure of the “Legislative
Gounod” of tho Nation to “negoti-
ate a loan” for the strip money
With these thing move on or stand
still Just about as has been gener-
ally usual or as would have boen
the eaeOad no strip money been
presenteuTo view
( a) There can be no sale or pur-
chase without a contract either
stated or implied the vendor
agreeinarto pari wKU ills property
for certain considerations and the
vendee agreeing to comply with
the offer Let the question under
consideration be surveyed in the
light of this principle All the
circumstances connected with the
strip money were well understood
when the deal was opened to sell
things to be paid for when that
money was reoeived by the people
It was thought both by creditor
and debtor that payment might ho
delayed an Indefnite time and iu
view of this contingency it was
agreed that the creditor on bis
part might sell things on a margin
sufficiently broad to compensate
him for tht risk Involved and that
the purchaser on his part would
pay him this margin in order to
make present purchases A fair
understanding Is it not clear
therefore that those who bought
tilings In the strip money business
have according to conlraot paid
their creditors to wait an indefinite
time for their money I As to the
certainty of payment there can be
no risk No credit can be made
more secure than those made in
tho (trip transaction The faith of
the United States is at the back
of them
( b ) Hence to expect payment
on part of creditors so soon after
making those strip credits would
he not only a departure from the
terms of the understanding be-
tween them and their debtors but
if enforced would bo really an In-
justice to the latter Debtors In
selliug thoir claims to creditors
have already suffered a large dla-
oount on said claims and now
for the National Oouuoll or the
delegation to sell the claim against
the Government at a disoount
would subject suoh debtors to a
second disoount on the amount of
the strip money payable to them
Bad hnslness to disoount ona’s
claim to maka tome purohases on
it and then disoount the balance
of it to get money to pay for those
purchases A mors swtepin sacri-
fice of money oould soaroely be
roods (
(o) But this Is not yet the worst
The proposal so strongly advocated
by some of selling oar claim against
the Government at a disoount In
order to relieve the ‘‘financial die
tress” of the oountry would iu-
vol: a the policy of “robbing Peter
to pay Fool” that is to-say it
would have the effect to orbitra-
rely take a part of A’s money to
pay B’s debts Many of us who
have not traded in prospeot of
trip money do not feol any dis
trees” in the mutter nor ars we
to blame for the want of forecast
or improvidence ad part of those
who have so traded hence it
would be utterly uujuBt in the
National Council to order a dis-
count on that part of the strip
money coming to us in order to
get money to pay the debts of
others "against which course of
proeesdure I herein and as iar as
my individual interest is concerned
offer my most solumn protest
This may do no good but I do it
anyhow and look to the future for
justification of the act
(d ) But ii there c4uld be a
method devised by which that
portion of the strip money coming
to those who are in the “financial
distress” oould be obtained by
discounting it without affecting
the interests of others I of oonrse
could Interpose no objection
Every one must be free to act for
himself And on this broud pine!
pie of individual eoverieguty over
one’s own rights I am opposod to
the National Council turning itself
into a collection agency and by
enactment turning us ail over un
der the shears to be fleeced solely
for the benefit of others But if
the National Council with the
consent of the peoplo will pass an
aot setting apart a portion of our
strip money to pay the National
debt and to enlarge the school
fund I am willing to take my
share of that sort of curtailment
on the strip money And I beg to
say again if that debt is not paid
volun'arely the Nation’s creditors
will enforce collection whenever
they get ready to do so A publio
debt is a mortage oa oil publio
property This is what the books
tell ns although the poople of our
country have been uufortunntely
taught otherwise Our hauil Is in
the lions mouth and if we do not
take it out easily ourselves it will
be torn out by others leaving skin
bone and all But our head men
should bersafter keep our bauds
out of the reach of those voiacious
jass Not that I am a lover of
that debt do I say these things
I hate that debt because I havs
reason to believe it was Inrgely
unnecessary if not in soino of its
parts made by way of “beating
the Nation” Yet it should be at
once paid as the loss of two evils
Second As to those wlo are In
financial distress Almost every
question has at least two sides to
it and an old maxim of tho law-
yers used to be thnt a ‘‘rulo must
work both ways” Let us bestow
a thought upon the poiut just
here
(a) If it be true as argued by
some that it would be right for
the people to discount their claim
against the Government in order
to got ready money from that
source would it not be also right
for those who hold claims agninst
the peoplo to disoouut the same
in order to realize present cask on
them I Yet this is a principle
wbioh has been overlooked iu the
entire discussion of the subject
The general notion seems to have
been that it was all right fist to
disoount the poople’s clulin by so
much ns tho extra obnrges put on
articloa and things which they
purchased to bo paid for out of
their strip money when it was ro-
ceived and second then to go be-
hiud thorn and discount their
claim against the Government at
flie other end in order to procure
immediate payment But surely
the people should not be subject-
ed to a double discount nor
should those who have no strip
money creditors be subjected to
any disoount at all In order to re-
lelve the ‘'flnnnoinl distress'’ wliieh
they have had no hnud in crenting
It seems to uie that equity would
require that the oruditois of tho
people If they would receivo pay-
ment earlier tli’nft the time Implied
in tho ooutraot or undet standing
between them nnd thoir debtois
ilumid he willing to disoount thoir
olaims agninst the people at tho
same rate the people would have
to suffer lu ease payment of tho
trip money ( to b attained Iu
title way Otherwise they should
swait the chances which they
reokoned upon when they con-
verted their property Into strip
money credits
Lastly If the National Counoil
can fix some way by which to die
count no strip money excepting
that portion oomlng to thoso who
are willing to auffere discount—
If this can be done without affeat
Ing the rights of the rest of ns ss
already said 1 shall bars no ob-
jection to make Bnt I do objeot
to discounting the money of one
man iu order to get money to pay
another man's debts Ketlier than
suffer a disoount myself 1 would
prefer to await the payments as '
provided in the net of Congress 1
Last of all From the lessoo be-1
fore ns we learn how it is that j
capital takes ears of itself We :
have in this example two distress
es namely that of capital and
that of the people and the ques
tion is which side shall place it-
self iu deeper distress in order to
relieve the distress of the other 1
Shall the distress of the people be
increased by discounting thoir
cluim against the Government to
relieve the distress of capital or
shall capital iu accordance with
the understanding when it made
its investments wait for reimburs )
ment together with its profits
until payment of the strip money
as provided in the aot of Congress!
Capital generally takes care of
itself by laying the distress part
on somebody elao but In tbo mat-
ter before us it ought not to do
so
Don't discount our money — the
interest is a part of onr money
pay the National debt enlarge the
school fund
