The facilities Afforded Us 10 produce tho

in the United States are frequently employed 10

aided by our active attaches.
Above, IN a general form, We have l'vcB
ttceLyt reasons why the NATIOSAL REFUBLICLN
published in the City of Washington, possesses
| greater facilities for obtaining all the IMPORT
ant news Of the day, o! every description, tLau
any other Journal III the United Statos. The
highest evidence OF this, which relieves Us from
the charge of ogotsm, Ia the fact Witnessed all
| over the nation daily Coy those who care to oh
serve ~ tkat the leading, widCrL circulated,
and most influential Journals IN the United
States gather the most important DCpGrtm
news, especially Of our military and naval
| operations, official and otherwise, from the
| columns Of the NATIONAL REPCNLICAN. This
| Is true In face OF the well known fact that
many of TIE lropTCtors Of those JOGruas pay
! enormous sume Of money yearly to " AssO.
| clated Prcss" and "Srucial COTClnOudlnls,r
so called, to furnish tacn with tho current
news of the day. We regret - cay, in this
connection, that those correspondents do not
| always inform their employers that they are
not the authors Of many of the most important
dispatches they send over the wires al an eX-
perse Of fol!r cents pr Nord, IS creIitiag them
| to the NATIONAL REPUBLICAN, as they in Jus
| tiCe should do. We especially think they
| should credit Us when they unCTOuch 70 far as
| to telegraph our 6C.!Ur!I.S, bodily, as being
| their Ule1, com J0s2iO7I5. However, We beg par
| don for this complaining ClErUs8!on, and will
not deny that We obseryc, in all this unfair
ness, q compliment 10 Our Industry on the part
Of these plGgiGrsts.
Politically the KEPCTLlCAS will support at
earnestly as possible tho civil and military
policy of the present Administration, while
that policy is 70: FREEDOM In its brOadest and
highest sense, and Gg1UHt SsIvsrL. WIEN TIE

different cOUrN 0'I The question Ct k,WtOG S,dUrrF,
ne shall oppose y Vuh our mt7t' aud man, God
