I HE CRISIS,
For 1897.


Tur Seventh Volume and the Seventh
Year Of the publication Of THE CRISIS ID
about 10 begin, and, in accordance with GUS
tom. we issue our Annual Prospectus. we
need not recapitulate its history during the
stormy years Of its existence nor remind
those who have read it, of its services IL be"
half Of the great principles Of the Democra-
CIV. and what its conductors conceived, ana
what time has shown, to be the bestlinterests
of the country. Its merits have been &C.
knowledeed from the time ii was started by
that veteran and distinguished journalist,
Gov. MEpARY, and its present conductors
simply claim for it the credit Of an earnest
and undertaking adherence TO the plan and
principles of its founder. In all the politi-
cal vicissitudes of the past six years-the
failure of some, the apostacy Of others, and
The unguarded weakness Of many, exponents
Of Democracy, The ORIsls has never denia'
ted from the straight path of principle, nor
been allured by temporary expedients, IN
timidated by threats, nor disheartened by
defeat and disaster. i3liI4@
On the score of principle we claim for il
the merit Of fidelity, honesty and consists
! ency. As o newspaper we claim for it the
merit of being an exponent Of Western in-
terests and ideas, reliable Journal Of the
times, o valuable companion Of the farmer,
the mechanic, the business man, and the
| family circle. Itis our aim to fill the large
sheet with matter Of real interest and per-
manent value-to discuss questions Of pgin.
ciple that are Of real significance, 10 inform,
improve, and instruct, as we'll as amuse--
and to this end we discard the idle twaddle
which goes 30 far to fill up the daily papers,
the obscene advertisements and the sensa4,
tional folly of the day. We could publish
hundreds of letters from the best men Of the
country approving of the course Of THE
CRISIS in this respect, and to this course we
propose to rigidly adhere. The reliable
market reports and the great amount Of
statistical, agricultural, financial, and po-
ltical information we publish, is Of inn
pOrtance and value to business men, farm.
ers, mechanics and politicians while the
carefully selected page Of literary miscelta-
, ny which each number contains, commends
, it TO the home circle Of oil. 5- ",.
The political views Of The CRISIS ocArcely
REQUIRE definition. 1t is in favor Of Demo-
cratic principles in all their breadth and
purity, as expounded by THOMAS JEFFERSON,
: and the other really great men and founders
of the Government, and upon which tho
Government was successfully conducted for
seventy years. II is opposed to the Aboli-
! tion despotism which now controls the Fed
eral Government, in all its shapes and un-
! der whatever device il may appear. His
opposed to the entire Abolition theory Of
politics, and all the mOnstrOsities, humb rigs,
and delusions which grow out Of it, It ID
opposed to the thieving lascslity, the ty-
ra nnical assumptions, the stupid and bar

of Congress, and to all the machinery that
the Jacobins have devised and put in opera-
ton to overthrow Republican Government, I,
inaugurate anarchy and absolutism, enslave
the people, and oppress them with OdjouS
taxes, and tyrannical, insane, and corrupt
, legislation. And in advocating the correct
principles and opposing the evils we have
named, we shall continue to do 1t without
fear or favor.
