AFFECTIONS. For thirty years these Troches
have been in use, with annual increasing IA

having been tested by wide and constant use
for nearly an entire generation, they have
attained well-merited rank among the few
staple remedies of the age.
THE THRoAr-"Bropn's Bronchial Tro-

They have an extraordinary effect in all dis
orders of the throat and Larynx, restoring a
healthy tone when relaxed, either from cold
or over-exertion of the voice. and produce a
clear and distinction enunciation. Speakers
and Singers find the troches useful.

will bo swerved in the least from their
sense of duty by the warnings of disaster in
case he shall be nominated, that nre con-
stantly Illuminated by his enemies. His
name will be presented to the convention,
and its verdict will end the controversy
Then, when he receives the Endorsement of
the republican party and is presented to
the nation as its candidate, it will remain
for his revilers and calumniators to decide
for themselves whether or not they will
continue their warfare against the party
This they have the power to do, and this
they will do, unless patriotism rises
above prejudice and hate and saves
them from themselves and their own
infrmities. No sound, rational objection
has ever yet been urged against General
GRANT. The warfare has been that of
petty spite and bitter prejudice that centres
in the meanest elements of human nature,
and is entitled to no respect from high
minded men, and its contomptible threats
now will deter no true patriot from fear
less and faithful discharge of his duty let
it lead where it may. The friends of Cen
eral GRANT make no threats of desertion
of principle and duty in case their wishes
are not respected at Chicago, though they
have been sorely tempted to do so by the re-
peated menaccs made that if General GRANT
shall be nominated aporiion of his opponents
cannot be relied upon to save the republi-
can party from defeat The hour is Mt
hand, however, when scratchers will be put
to the test, and then they can settle their
account with their country, for after Gen.
eral GRANT is nominated the fight must be
with the party and principles he is called
upon to represent. Then if they choose to
continue their fight the consequences, if
they can effect any, will be upon their
country, of which they must bear their
share. A second sober thought will inter-
vene after the nomination TO show these
rebellious spirits that an ounce of patriot
ism is worth pound of prejudice, and a
change will come over the spirit Of their
dreams.

IN refusing to appropriate money to en-
large silver vaults the house rcbuked the
methods of Secretary SHERMAN when deal
ing with silver coinage. Tho house knows,
and the country knows, that there has
never been really fair effort on the part
of the secretary to put into circulation the
silver coinage. The plethora of silver in
the treasury is artifcially produced, or is
the result at least of want of real effort
to disburse it, and there is not any neces-
sity to spend hundreds of thousands of dol
lars to hoard that which should be circu-
lating in the bands of the people.
Congress is now considering the sundry
civil service and the river and harbor
bill, which appropriate about thirty mil
lions of dollars. This sum will be dis
bursed to laborers in every part of the
country, from Maine to California, from
Wisconsin to South Carolina. The people
who will do the shoveling, carting, blast
ing, etc, in clearing out the creeks, rivers
and harbors and in erecting public
buildings, will feel no antipathy to sill
yer. When they step up to the pay
table to take weeks wages, they will not
consider themselves hardly treated if one
half or even all of their one, two or three
dollars per day is paid to them in the
-" dollar of our daddies" The country store
keeper with whom they will spend por-
tion Of their earnings will not refuse to
take it and pay it out again to the
surrounding farmers for corn, wheat,
bacon, butter, eggs, etc. The farmer
and his frugal wife will not dis
dain it, but will welcome it, and in three
cases out of five will spend it last, proferring
to save the dollar which will not burn, and
which the mi ce will never choose to make
their nests with.
In fact, every avenue of disbursement
can and would be opened if there was not
predetermined policy to discredit silver.
We hope the house and senate will con-
tinue to refuse to aid in making the war
on silver successful.

Why Not n Roman Catholic President?
L,.l.L-.. A-.L......I n.....LL.......

To the Editor of The National Republican:
SIR The soicitude of the democratic politi-
clans for tho elevation Of the cOlorod race by
the republicans reminds one of tho similar
kind feeling manifested by Mr.. Barbau for the
orphan girl Fanchon. Though most happy to
be relieved of her presence, the venerable
patriarch wished her the greatest good fortune
among strangers. 1t is now favorite theme
with democratic editors to point out the heart
less hypocrisy of the republicans shown in
their omission TO place on their presidential
ticket the name of distinguished colored
man.
IL never seems to occur to these sympathetic
democrats that their party has treated a large
section of their political associates with studied
neglect for eighty long years that the party
has been in existence. The Roman catholics
claim to have membership of six and a-half
millions of people in this country, while the
colored race numbers not more than five
millions. 1t Is indisputable that the Roman
catholics are almost, if not quite, as unani.
nous in their democratic sympathies and
affiliations as the colored people are republi-
can And IL is true also that the Roman cath
olic democracy includes far larger proper
tion of educated men in tho various walks of
lifo than does the recently emaucipated col
ored race.
Here, then, is an immense beam in tho
democratic eye, which ought to be cast out
before the republican mote becomes visible.
