Senator Vance lives on tho saddle of a ridge iu such a position as to have in front of the house tho highest peak of Craggy raout-aln, while at the back of the house, straight down 500 foot, you hear tho roar and tumble of the North Branch. Hero stand* Gombroon, tho restful and ideal home of North Carolina’s favored son and senator. “What made you call it Gombroon t*“ 1 asked Mrs. Vance, as 1 ate another water melon and concealed the rinds in Major Stedmau’s umbrella. I asked this question because a piften political adversary pa d that [' was mighty poor taste for u United States senator to name ids summer home for a little covey of decayed and flea in fected hovels on the Persian gulf. “The little seaport ou the Porsiau gulf had nothing to do with it,” said Mrs. Vance. “I'd boon reading au article o.u •The Vagaries of Eminent Men,' and among others tho dream of DeQuincy that aeetned to hauut him in all his latter years, that he hnd conquered, owned and ruled a distant Island called Gombroon. In all his leisure, as a purple background to tho pic- lute of actual life, 6toud this over present country which lie called Gobinroon, “So. whon iu the midst of this, husband wrote me that if ho could think as earnestly and industriously of tiro coming couveu- dW of the ootri ttyd the orchard i , ^^^ ^ ouhlaln h« would* probably [ mote JlcoGHfttl a* ^politician, I named Hit home Gombroon, and Gombroon it Is likely to remlta.” Yott get off the fciclnnond and Danville | tjralu at Black mountain station, and there you aecurewfiacre drawn by two niclan- choly mutes. Black mountain station is ' not a financial center, but Is still die- ; tuted to by Wall street A large political j meeting was being bold there at the school- house on tbe afternoon of our arrival, and good, pure democratic doctrine was coining i through the open window, together with the flavor of honest toll and unrectifled spirits. 1 Tin* road to Gombroon is night miles in length and reminds one of Pennsylvania avenue in some respects. Tho route crosses and rccrosses the Branch lust often enough to keep the feet of ono's mules tidy, and the bowlders which you drive over are well worthy of tho attention of the geologist. Four years ago I would have said that the road to Gombroon was rough ami irregular, but since then I have driven over Patten avenue and South Main street iu Asheville, and I am gentler iu iny judgment of moun tain roads since t hut. , I gathered from what Senator Vance let fall while wo were conversing on political in Attorn that lie is a democrat. Bo is Mrs. Vance. Yet they had nothing to say of tho republican nominees except iu a tone of tho most kindly commiseration. Wo spoke very little on political mutters, however, os Major Wilson was there also, nml if any one spoke of politics he promptly but grace fully changed tho topic of conversation by referring to the third party candidates. The nominees ou the third pArty ticket in North Carolina seem to be having some trouble already, one having boon arrested for using profune language in the post- office, another for carrying concealed weapons, another chargod with eloping with his wife’s sister, and another with stealing a hog from a widowed woman dur ing our late war. I trust that those grave charges will ho refuted at an early duto. Senator Vance has many agricultural FOES TO TRADE.

We had an nlmtylaj truck from the garden, and Ins that would do more for too enthusiasm and rtrn vrllfndWhemTul^hi,li Ijeld In the rui#joints lug island. * Gombroon is a handsome su built of native timber grown on The' place, cut on tho plnco and hauled by tho Vance mules, Peter ami Bopotor, to a little mill dowu the branch, where the timber was •awed, dressed, kiln driest and prepared for tbo building, lu digging for tho foun dation a bed of beautiful building sand was found and a quarry of excellent stone was struck within a four-minutes walk of the house and a little above it, so that with a stone boat and tho speckled steers, Kye- ther and NyetUer, Senator Vunco easily hauled In a few days stono enough to build the foundation of tho house. Tho building is finished in the very justly oolebrated woods of North Carollua, and 1 may bo allowed at this point to speak, I hope, of tho lack of enthusiasm shown iu the collection ami preparation of such things for tho big fair from this state. It is*doubt Till I,' ni\v o*hir state in the union has suoli an unbounded wealth of beautiful woods, and yot I tremble when I think what a feeble showing it bids fair to mako ut Chioago. Nebraska, which is a magnifi cent agricultural state, but not celebrated ns a timber state by any menus, will furnish the SI.000 hum.n«r with n handle of Ne braska woods with which to drive tho last nail in the woman’s bulldiug. Why couldn’t Nortli Carolina, with every variety of staple and orimmeutal wooil covering tba entire Blue Itidgc iu tills state to a depth of 80 to 100 feet, nerve herself up to supplying tho handle of such a hammer? Shu would not feel it in fifty years from now. Gombroon, with its oaken stairs and hulls, its ceilings of curly poplar and ma ple, its rooms finished in cherry and moun tain mahogany, its library with massivo dark henins of native wood nml oaken floors, is u good advertisement of wiiat there is lying untouched and undeveloped in what Professor Guyot says is tho most inngnlficoutly wooded mountain rntigo in tho world. Mr. Butties, to whose mules wo were in debted for a delightful ride of eight miles up to Gombroon, said that tho estate em braces 3,500 acres, I believe, which gives tlm senator’s pigs a feeling of perfect free dom that is entirely absent in the illiterate but arrogant hog of tho congested metropo lis. The Vance hog may bo known at once by tho flash of his eye and tho flrm, eieot and dofiaut tail. His face is loug and thought ful, but there is an elasticity to his step which rominds one of tiro autelope, the springbok or the gazelle. Senator Vauee begun life and gradually worked bis way up to congrcxs,where lm had nothing to do from morning till ulght hut legislate in the interests of good govern ment daytimes and auswer letters from his constituents at night. As a young lawyer ho attracted the atten tion of tho court by his Craggy mountain methods of fettling matters with opposing counsel* “Will you step outside and re peat that remark?” he would say in a low tone to counsel, motioning over his shoul der with his thumb. Then, if counsel said yes, they would slip out quietly and in an ex parte method arrange tho matter, return ing later with from one to four eyes closed and resume the trial. One of his earlier cases was taken by Mr. Vanco ou shares or at the halves, he to re ceive fifty per cent of tho judgment for his work. Ills client during the trial devel oped into a person criminally liable, am! under tbe old statute received a verdict of fifty-seven lushes. Ever since that Mr. Vance ha* accepted uo cases except at an agreed price. He was afraid that he might deprive some poor man or his family of the lashes that they needed for the winter. KAltMBR'g KAItNtNUB AHK DEPOSITED IK OUBTOM HOUSES. The typical protectionists are a queer set. From McKinley down, they all continue to cry, “Wo must protect American industry;" as if they alone, and not all Americans were in favor of buy and every policy that will protect and beceflt our own people and country in preference to all other peoples nnd coun tries. Hut at the same timo it is clear that their actions—when they come to substitute uctions for words—that they have no correct idea of what industry is. Doubtless, some will say, “What an un founded and impudent assertion I” “What, a free trade Ho I” But let us reason about it a little and see wherein is the truth. Industry consists of two factors, or there are two elements in it. One is production (derived from two Latin words, pro, forward, and ducere, to lead), meaning, in this connection, the drawing out of materials or products from natural resources, and the other is exchange, or tho selling of the things produced; nnd industry can't gat along without both any maro than a man get uieng with only one log. For example, if a farmer grows 10,000 bushels of corn, and needs only 1000 for hiinsolf, family nnd finiinnls, nnd can't exchange or sell tho other 9000 ho might as well not have raised it. He can cut corn, burn it for fuel uud make whisky of it, but be can’t clotho himself with oorn hunks, plow with a corn stalk, wear corn shoes, nnd the like. To get these other things ho must sell or exchange his surplus 9000 bushels; aud ho must be stupid who does not at onco see that the greater the facilities afforded him for exchunge, such ns good roads, bridges, horses and wagons, cheap nnd swift railroads nnd steamships, low tolls, freights uud taxes, the greater will bo the opportunity for exchange and trudo to advantage. Ou the other baud, poor roads, unbridged streams, fetv or no railroads or steamships, and high tolls, freights and taxes, all tend to restrict or dostroy trade and the opportunity to Ail his 9000 bushels of corn to advantage. A twenty per cout. tariff tax may fairly bo considered ns the representative of a bad road; a fifty per cent., of a broad deep river without proper facilitos for crossing; a seventy-five porwht., of a swamp bor dering such river on both sides; while a hundred per cout. duty, such as is levied on blankets, window glass, cotton ties, und the like, can oidya,properly be com pared to a baud orTobbers, who strip the producer of nearly nil lie possesses, mnkiug him thankful that he escaped with his tile. la short, there has never been a ease m all human experience when the rejiiovul of • restrictions— natural or legislative—on trade did not rcstdt in the extension of trade to the muffial,.ndvantage of t(iu great majority jkowaah vt‘ J 9900 JHhcla oi corn; “You can’t unless you give me n big part of what you received for It m exciiauge.” But I faucy sotno farmer protectionist saying, “There is no one sitting behind a bush for me. I don't see him." Neverthe less, he is there all tho same. Our farmer bcIIs his 9900 bushels of corn in Kugland nnd, ns bo wauts things rather than money, and as many things are cheap in England, ho concludes to tnku his pay in hardwnro, woolen cloth ings, blankots, starch, paints, oils, glass, salt, cordage, bats, crockery, cotton tios, nnd other like articles, and alerts for homo by way of New York. There is no man with a gun behind a bush ou tho wbsrf to He iu wait fur him, but there is another man, nrtned with something better than a gim, who tells the farmer that ho must give up more thmi half tho value of all tho things ho has received in payment for his com before lie can come into possession of tho other half. If ho docs not pay quickly or if he makes any fuss about the chnrgos, this other man will take tho whole, and uot unlikely put tho farmur in jail. If the farmer could pay in tbiugs instead of money, aud had taken salt iu oxcliaugo for his oorn, then for every hundred bushels he would huvo had to bring aud givo up sevouty-tlirce additional bushels. For every yard of the cheapest carpet ho would have had three-quarters of a yard cutoff; nud if lie had cotton tics, each tie w'ould bo shortened to the extent of ninety per cent. If lie hnd taken tho commonest kind of china plates or cups, then in order to carry a dozen of them homo ho would have had to pay for eighteen. And so on. If our Government needed to impose snd collect such taxes lu ordor-to meet its necessary expenditures, there would tie some justification for such procedure. Hut revenue was uot the object sought for iu the enactment o( the laws which authorize or roquiro them, but the re strictions of trade; to prevent the farmer from selling his products to the best ad vantage. In short, carry out logically aud to tlicir fullest extent McKinley’s views nhoul industry, and you would havo every man trying to produce a good deal nnd sell ns little as possible.—David A. 'Veils, in American journal of Politics. An Exnmplc of Tariff Reform. McKintevism is atrocious, but what would tho Democrats do in tho wav of reform should they attain power? Tho question is sometimes asked in good faith by Republicans weaned of tho Republi can policy of high tariff. During tho first session of tho present Congress a Democratic House passed among other bills ameudstory of tho McKinley law one which, it there had bceu concurrence of a Repblican Senate nnd approval by a Republican Executive, would have put binding twine upon tho ireo list. The tariff laid by McKinley* ism upon binding twine affects every ratset of a crop of cereals, for binding twino is now employed necessarily in connection with improved machinery for mowing nud reaping. That tariff was laid ami is maintained by McKinley* ism lor no other purpose in this world thuu to suable what is now known as the cordage trust to manufacture this necessary article aud make its own price thereou, enriching itself but compelling ,^90,000 agricul • ite*. It trthli describes whioh benefiting engaged if binding twine, as well u *U Ert(<9p»f like character, im poses • burden upon millions of the peo ple of the United Stater. A Democratic House sought to put binding twine Upon the free Hat in order that the monopoly now existing by reason of tariff taxation upon binding twine and artioles of like character might be destroyed by free competition. The cordage trust notoriously exists. In tlie expectation that the Attorney-Gen eral ot Mr. Harrison’s cabinet would as sail it in the courts a Republican organ, desiring that he should have ftt'.l glory for tho proceeding, indiscreetly pre sented ali the facts, and though tho Sherman law Is said to be aimed at the trusts and so describes Itself, und though tho Executive hot made some show of commencing prosecution under that law against such alleged combinations as tho whisky trust, no hand has been lifted agalust this atrocious monopoly. The tribute continues to be exacted from e.cry field of wheat, and rye, and oats ail over this broad land. Democracy de sired to put an end to such fraudulent tariff legislation, and having no other power than the power of the House it passed this bill repealing the tax on twine, but the Republicans said “No; this tax shall Do maintained," and though they were not frank enough to go further and say “It shall be main tained in tbe interests of this cordage trust,” yet such is the faet. This single illustration will suffice to indicate tho d- jJtjdBHkl^Dernocrat.io legislate the its protection wlj taxes may be’ of existence it, of Democracy for tho benefit tho lumber bat to Government n { Somebody —Chicago Tlmt (Jetting heme lj k aim ,uTfc « cast ihose wl ericau lad; visiting rolatlvi summer. She had sewing machines wl than here, and she one back with her the duty ou it and save"snot paying freight, to pay hor trouble of catrying it.' She saw cigu agent of tho machine she aud found thit she could save about twenty per cent, by purchasing there, and that she could escape tbo duty by calling herself a seamstress. Sho was arranging with the agent, whon ho sug gested that as she was going to New York, whero ho got tho muchinet, it would save trouble and expense all around if she would accept his order on the New York house for a machine— which she could havo at export prices — though she need not export it or tnke any false oaths in regard to it. Tho plan worked successfully, nnd is likoiy to be repeated nud extended to type writers and other articles if the niantt- factureia do not put n stop to these anti-McKinley demonstrations ot their foreign agents. That Free Breakfast Table. Whitelaw Reid said in a speech tha by coupling together "protection nud reciprocity” his party had given tu a “free breakfast tnble," which the De mocrats propose to destroy by “restoring tho revenue rlutie; on coffee, tea aud sugsr." Tho ouly thing tbo Republicans did to givo us a free breakfast table was to re duce tho duty ou refined sugar from ubout two nud u half to one-half cents per pound. For this we would havo beta thankful if it had not reduced our revenuo by nearly $60,000,000 to give an opportunity to impose more onerous duties upon other articles of food aud clothiug—duties that would not, like the sugar duty, put almost ns many doll srs :nto our treasury ns it took from tho people, but that would take three dollars from the people, one of which would reach our Treasury and two of which would be caught ou tho fly by tbo “Iriends of tho administration. No, wo havo not free sugar yet for our breakfast tables; the half per cent, duty must he paid to the sugar trust. It is this duty that tho Democrats pro pose to remove aud that they would havo removed months ngoif a Republican Sen ate aud President had not blocked tho sray. As to tea nnd coffee they have for years heen ou the tree list. Tne only possible effect ot reciprocity upon them would be to reimpose duuui and to tax them, as has been done by decree of President Harrisou iu some cases. For such a “free breakfast table" we nro not especially grateful to the protectionists. -lEXE^gL INVITATIONS.

A Cholera Cur*. Tho western married man has no stand ing la society except by Ills wife’s aide. Tho man who “runs” tho towns are sel dom seen at the parties, which aro man aged by their unmarried clerks. In tho old courtly days a man and wife bad a social individuality; but when a man attends a social gathering in tbe west he is expected to seat himself beside his wife and behave ns well ns he can, to the end that people may understand that he is not only fond of th# women at Ids home, but in company as well. If a married man should attend a west ern social affair without his wife ho would be very apt to be approached by a married woman who would ask him in an audible whisper, “Where is your wife?" and there would be a certain something in the woman's tone indicat ing that he ougl.t to henshnmed of him self for being there under such circum stances.
