Many of them are too small to accomplish either good or harm, while others are so large as to be useful for good or powerful for evil. The latterit is to be regretted is the general reault. Not having to earn the money distributed, the Indians do not appreciate its value. It either goes to the traders on account of debts contracted in anticipation of the payment or is squandered, often for purposes far remote from civilizing. The larger payments especially are demoral-izing in the extreme. They degrade the Indians and corrupt the whites; they induce pauperism and scandal and crime; they nullify all the good effects of years of labor. |
