PROSPECTUS
OF THE
FREE DEMOCRAT!
FOR lS5S.

THE w eklv Free Democrat, now entering
l. upon its fourteenth volume, is the largest
journal in Wisconsin. 1t contains onefourth
more reading matter than any other paper in
the State. The publisher refers to his past
course, as pledge of his aims and purposes
for the future. He stands now, when the Re-
publican party Of this State is in the zenith of
its power, precisely where he stood sixteen
years ago, when the Anti-Slaverv voters num-
bered but Seren thousand in the United States,
maintaining the position that Slavery must be
abolished wherever it can be reached by the
Federal Government, and that all parties and
creeds must either aid or give way to the cause
of Human Freedom.
He intends to make the Free Democrat not
only the largest, but the best newspaper in the
State, and asks every friend of Reform and of
Human Progress to aid in extending its circu-
lation.
The Free Democrat is political, literary and
news journal, and will give a synopsis of cur
rent events, chronicle all useful discoveries in
the arts and sciences, in agriculture and mech
anism, give a weekly review of the markets.
and pay particular attention to the various local
enterprises of the State.
The daily and tri-weekly Free Democrat have
also been enlarged and improved, and are wor-
thy the patronage Of the commercial public, as
the latest telegraph and commercial news will
always be found in their columns.
