' 'But to carry out the thought whid I have just touched. How many mi] lions has the North invested in th South? Coming here for their owi selfish purposes to get large return for their investments, I would msJc an even guess that it does not exceet $4,000,000;000. Thereof, when yoi talk aoout Northern capital and brain doming down here. I say nhattheyar only sending back to us Southern cani tal which they have taken from us a pension tribute, and that we have no received in all as much as we hfi.v sent away; and I will elaborate tlia further by adding that if at the clos of the war there had been the qualit; there had been before the war and th' reasonable treatment of the Souther people; if the iniquitous tariff had no been contrived to rob the farmers if all the money had not been concen trated into the hands 01? a few na tiona.l banks; if the war on silver hat not come up by which G-eorgia ha lost at least fifty or sixty or seventy five.millions in tbe last three yearsjust nay to you that if we hqd hat equal showing with our Norther] bretheren; if we had had an opportun ity to keep our m6ney at home?wha kind of an exposition could we havt given? We are not aiihaimed of wha we have done and what we are doing We glory in it. Wb stand up andaa; to the world that we are tne mos glorious country on the face of tb< earth, and we prove it by these fixe* facts and figures, and despite this pen sion robbepry, this alien landlordship this tariff, robery, this financial de pletiion?if we had a fair chance w'i could have an exposition in Atlanti tliat would have eclipsed the Chicago one. This may appear to some a buncombe; but the tribute we havi paid as pension has been a men bagatelle to what we have paid a tariff and financial tribute in the waj of interest and in other ways by whicl they have depleted our country fo the benefit of national banks. I Could be proven that with a reason able tariff and with a just distributioi of the banking capital of this country the South,would, nave moved forwari more rapidly than any other sectioi of the Union, because if we didn' have the country we have, what othe: section could have withstood this drsii and to-day presented the evidence o progress, tne building of railroads the building of factories, the increase of wealth that we see around us Whrt will danv it?

(Applause.) It would b improper? this is not the occasion o the time?to'follow out the thought ii regard to the future policy of th country.

I I I ! DOES IT PAY? Soma Answers to this Query Given by i Southern California Newspaper Man. 0 There is a class of very good peopl* g who, perhaps because they did no: t start the Keeley Cure themselves r worry their brains to find reasons wh;j i- people should not go to the Institute r These folks say, for example, "It cost too much?the price is exnorbitant." Now, let us look at thi3 from -tw< [. points of view: First, from the sid< e of the man who takes the cure, and a second, from that of those who owi s and administer it e Is it worth the price to the drunk 1 ard 1 * Let us deal in facts, and to tha j end consider a few of the hundred] s of cases that have come to the knowl e edge of the writer hereof. Be it up derstood, however, before relating g these incidents, that it is not necessary t that whiskey should make a gutter so e of a man in order to ruin him mental t ly, physically, spiritually and flnan eJciallv. y John Parkinsoa was born of a goo< e family and inherited a large fortuni j as well as a taste for drink. He hel< t prominent positions for thirty years . During this whole term he drank t< I excess. He lost the fortune and for feited one position after another, un I til at the end of forty-five years, hi s physical system was utterly wrecked .. his mental faculties paralyzed, and h< I was practically without God or re I ligion. A more miserable man neve: walked the streets, and yet people ii L. the great hotel in which ne uvea die t not know that he drank at all. Hi 3 took the Keeley Cure, and in twenty t eight days walked out of the, Institute with a sound mind and a sound body i and has for more than a year beei I able to do twelve h?urs' work a daj 0 without feeling it. The treatmen j costs $130. The thirty years of drunk . enness cost, at the least calculation | $100,000. Was the treatment wort! 1 the money ? Who can calculate, be B side, the value of an immortal soul ry Is it worth only $129.99 ? If so, Dr I, Keeley's price was exhorbitant. 8 The other day the question wa; s asked of one of the staunchest younj . Hnninoaci m?n in Smithftrn California 8 "Did it pay you to take the Keelej j Treatment?" He said: "It's the cheap 1 est thing that ever came into th< r world. It's the best investment I eve] I made. Look at this." He drew ou . bis bank book with the return check) 1 and exhibited eight checks drawn t< j the order of saloon keepers, and datec i within five days of the time he enterec ! the Keeley Institute. Tbey aggregat t ed $125. The Keeley Treatment cos r him $132, and the $125 represented b] 1 the checks was a showing of only on< f of the many sprees. Did it pay him Does the fact that he is an active a manly business man, trusted by ever] I one who knows him, count for noth b ing ? Is the fact that he is tctday i t sincere and worthy member of th< e church, that he bears candid and out . spoken testimony, to what God, througl i the Keeley Gure, has done for him, o j no value ? s The other'day a Keeley gradual found on the corner of tne street i t poor fellow in a seventh hell of de TT.
