In New York city for having furnished the occa-
sion for speech by Henry w. Grady, the we'll
known Atlanta journalist, atthe dinner Of the New

talking about when he touches on the topic OF the
new south, for bis own hand has had much to do
with changing the Georgia OF 1865 into the Georgia
OF 1856. He drew with brilliant phrases picture
OF the merger OF a rich oligarchy, with negro
slavery for a foundation, into democracy with
free labor universal education and political equal
ity as bases The financial side of this exhibition
Is the most striking. ave have" said Mr.. Grady,
put business above politics. We have challenged
your sptnners in Massachusetts, and your iron
makers In Pennsylvania We have learned that
the four hundred million dollars annually received
from our cotton crop Will make US rich. The sup
plies that make IL are home-raiSed. We have re-
duced the commercial rate OF interest from twenty
1our 70 six per cent, and floating four per cent
bonds We have learned that one northern immi-
grant Is worth fifty foreigners, and have smoothed
the path to southwark, wiped out the place where
Mason q Dtxons line used to be, and hung out our

and doubtless are, many unprogressive men In the

ances OF fraternity at northern gathering, but
they are like poor imbecles who would try to stop
railway train by pulling at the rear car. They
are dragged along themselves In spite Of their re-
