This is an irritation or infiam
nation of the bronchial tubes
which carry the air we breathe
into the lungs. 1t arises from
cold settled in the throat, from Ca

from scrofulous affections and
from severe use of the voice. The
irritation frsm this latter cause
commences in the iayynr and
CLOTHS, which are the organs of
the voice. and extending down
wards, produces hoarseness,
coughing, and splitting mucous
matter, sometimes mixed with
blood. 1t il chiefly dangerous

the lungs, and terminate in con

The Bangor Commercial parades 4 list
of towns in this Congressional district
which lost in population from 1860 TO 1870,
and attributes the loss to the tariff. The
most of people in this district believe that
the loss of our young men in the army
fighting against the democratic rebellion,
and the taking away of others by induce
ments to 60 West, are sufficient to ac-
count for the decrease in population no.
ticed. The tariff certainly did not cause
the war, and therefore is not responsible
for the loss of life il occasioned. As to
those who went West. they found the same
tariff there as here, so they did not escape
it by leaving Maine, and were not foolish
enough to think so. If the editor Of the
Commercial will make a close and scien-
tific investigation he will find that the po-
tato-bug. the weevil, and the running
away Of democratic conscripts into Cana
da carried away more men from the State
OF Maine than the cause he has assigned.
he Will also ma II he looks over the po-
litical record of 1872, that the democrats of
this third Congressional district ran high

that year. from which he may conjecture
that they do not agree with him in his no.
tions about the tariff. The number of DEM
ocrais in this district who will individually
endorse the Free Trade resolves of the
Democratic State Convention might be
counted on the ends of ones fingers, and
those who think the tariff has sent ANYBODY
out Of the State. either democrats or repub.
iicans, are not to be found 10 the Kenne-
