CONCLUSION 270
INTRODUCTION.
The Indians are in our midst. Different solutions of the problem have
been proposed. It is evident that we must either kill them, move them
away, or let them remain with us. The civilization and Christianity of
the United States, with all that is uncivilized and un-Christian, is not
yet ready to kill them. One writer has proposed to move them to some
good country which Americans do not want, and leave it to them. We have
been trying to find such a place for a century--have moved the Indians
from one reservation to another and from one State or Territory to
another; but have failed to find the desired haven of rest for them. It
is more difficult to find it now than it ever has been, as Americans
have settled in every part of the United States and built towns,
railroads, and telegraph-lines all over the country. Hence no such place
has been found, and it never will be.
