EXTINCTION OF THE RACE. 57 



The outcome of all this is, every man of any tribe 

 looks upon all men of other tribes as their natural 

 enemies, and so must necessarily hate all men save 

 those with whom they are each day associated. Such 

 is the yoke of paganism. 



EXTINCTION OF THE RACE. 



The Australian settlers have not dealt as kindly 

 with the natives as they should have done. 



From the beginning the white man has thoroughly 

 ignored any right or title to the land on the part of 

 the aborigines. 



Squatters taking up large runs for sheep and cattle, 

 must have been perfectly well aware that they were 

 usurping territory which had been the undisturbed 

 possession of other men for centuries. 



The natives found the animals upon which they and 

 their fathers had depended for ages for food, driven 

 out by the white man. 



They dare not encroach upon the territory of a 

 neighboring tribe for game or food of any sort with- 

 out violating those sacred regulations which had 

 always controlled the tribes in their amicable relations 

 to each other. 



To have thus transgressed their own native laws 

 would necessarily have resulted in tribal wars.
