For sometime we lmve been inning a Mountain tripand Mrs >timus has been busily engaged getting things ready for it. io accomplished her work last iday. After taking a survey the situation and learning what is required to transport the eded things for this journey, > made arrangements with the aboard Air Line for passage r Mrs Optimus, three the lie Optimuses and m\. with ir luggage consisting of a trunk, indboxes, lunch baskets and all e little extras that make up a moan's traveling outfit, except Poodle dog. Friday night all is hustle around in the home Optimus in having everything readiness for Saturday mornings rlv train. For fear of overdoping ourselves we set the arm clock to wake us at o:,'$U m., Saturday morning. Mrs ptinuu awoke some time in the rlv part of the nielli and roamed awake to hear the elook iirm us. It eumo on tinn* and tiled ns ont at the appointed no?and then suoh another stir milt Optiinns's home had hardly ken plaee except perhaps at the ne of the Kartlnpuike. All was itten ready and we were at the pot on time, and when the train illed np we hoarded it and hid in Wvck good hve for a few vs. We arrived at Monroe ft! and on schedule time. We gan unloading, and making eparations for changing cars r luncointon and in the jam and all of other passengers, amid a rinkle of rain, one of our hand xes was demolished and Mrs >timus thought her rew summer t was ruined, but on examinu n she found that no serious rm had happened to it. She jn had the plumes and artificials aightened out and the demolishhat hpsurepi^jjrcd and live pack-* 0 haw over to one of the ung Optimuses, giving a know 1 look to lie more careful next tie. After a short wait at Monroe, j hoarded the Carolina Central r Lincolnton. There were a odly number of passengers goto the springs and among them young gentleman with a guitar 10 dispensed sweet strains of usie accompanied by harmonious cn 1 songs, that made one feel ease under many trying circuminces. Tliis train stopped at larlotte about half an hour and good many new passengers joinus. We arrived at Lincolnton i time and changed cars for Newn. We found the Narrow uige twenty five minutes late, e waited patiently for itacoming d sjient the time in strolling ound the depot and in listening passengers exchange views on tforent topics. At last we ar<l the shrill notes of the Little urine and the rattlinf and nnr.h ry ~ r* it* of the swift flying wheels of b cars, announced its approach, e gladly hoarded this little nder and moved out for New1. After leaving Lincoln! :?n r a few miles we moved with a ;h rate of speed. This spell s soon broken and when we tick the up grade a few miles >in Maiden the speed !>cc:wiie >wer and slower and at last ne to a stand still. The track s slick and trainmen had to get t and pour sand on the track, e little engine pulled and pulled t the cars did not move. Then a backward and forward motion ! little engine displayed itself some time w hen some of the isengers imagined they were ing in a boat ovor the breakers I displayed themselves accordly. After a delay of an hoi r, an while the passengers liecame i very social, the train pulled^fcjp to Maiden and a few pnssenBrs got oil and as they left the ^Bis remarked, "Hoys, ?ve are i^Kry After leaving Mai<len we miflcd on very well until the iinBvy grade was struck going into ton, when the liltle cngiiieMtad another opportunity of displaying some more of its antiey After the loss of another ha\M hour it pulled up to the depot Newton two hours behind timo, when wc had the privilege of Reaving this train, with the same greeting to our fellow passengers as ,.ur friends gave us at Maiden. 44Hoys, we are sorry for von." Here we found a fleet footer team awaiting u \ hut to our chagrin, it was raining ami wt had an open vehicle to travel in, without proper wraps. We tool in the situation good humorcdh and after one hours drive we mailt the seven miles into the country and after exchanging our wet gar menls for dry ones and partaking of a good mountain meal we die not feel any the worse fv?f out days journey.

We desire to mil Mr Kvjin'? attention to the followingfact- regarding the question of free raw material, which he is so persistent ly preaching to the people. h'irst, it was never an acknow lodged principle of Democracy; and, second, no plank in any Democratic platform ever demanded free raw material. To tho truth of these two propositions we challenge Mr Kvans or his supporters to prove to the contrary, (five the name of one man who has ever shown in a clear and definite manner that this doctrine has ever been accepted as a democratic tenet, or own that you ar^ simply Y>layihg politics on the credulity of the |>eople. Produce one plank in any Democratic platform that sj>ecifically demands free raw material, or you are justly open to the charge of deceiving the people. The 8{>eech of McLaurin in the Senate last June comI pletely demolished that idea and revealed the fact that it came and went with Grover Cleveland. In that speech he went to the l>ottom of the question as has been his habit, and u noted ever mention of free raw material or any reference to it in any Democratic i platform. He summarized his statements as follows: "Mr President, have 1 not shown conclusively that the doctrine of free raw material has never t?een an established principle of Democracy( Have I not shown that a single allusion made to it in tho platform of ls*4, a covert attempt to indorse it in IsSm, a qualified indorsement in and an ah.so lute abandonment in 1Mb!, is the real history of this dog na! This doctrine, Mr President, came and went with Grover Cleveland. and 1 believe that the peo . pic arc willing for him to keep it, or sink it in I'ti/zanl's liny, as he muy elect.1 That declaration stands uncontradicted at the present time. Of course n fen have advocate*! free raw material for years, just as a few have advocated other economic questions, as (tovernor Evans, for instance, has in this cainpuign advocated the doctrines of Mrs Lease, hut the Democratic party never has heen pledged to that doctrine, and Mr Evans cannot put his linger upon a plank to that clFect in anv I >emocrntie platform.

"Mr President, it will f?e a very *3 difficult undertaking to bring pros perity under any system of tax' ation, more especially under present conditions.
