Article 10. In lieu of all sums of money or other annuities provided to be paid to the Indians herein named, under any treaty or treaties heretofore made, the United States agrees to deliver at the agency house on the reservation herein named, on or before the first day of August of each year, for thirty years, the following articles, to-wit :

And if within the thirty years, at any time, it shall appear that the amount of money needed for clothing under this article, can be appropriated to better uses for the Indians named herein, Congress may by law change the appropriation to other purposes; but in no event shall the amount of this appropriation be withdrawn or be discontinued for the period named.
