Of tee eighteen million people in the Republic twe-thirds are Indians who have never been entirely tamed, antl who do not like to be counted or taxed. Never since Cortez overran the country have the in - diens been fairly treated. Their, lands have 'been seized without pay therefore, and far as possible they have been re- duced to a condition of euforced peon- age. The murderous atrocities that have nutrked the establishment of foreign rule in Mexico furnish ono of the blood- ish pages of .A.Inerican hiatory. Taken as A Whole, the Indians in Mexico aro as badly off as were the blalleS th. the Southern States at the outbreak .of our civil war, How to deal with them so as to advance them In the scale of civil - ?salon and bring them Into safe and or- dered relation with other classes of the population is a staggering probl.nn.
