Marshall County Republican. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1856-1878, 1868-01-16
PLYMOUTH, INDIANA, JANUARY 16, 1863
No. 10.

perity of the county, we have the
highest claims to your support. A
good paper, well-filled with local
news and home advertisements inva-
riably halls from good locality, and
there wealth and enterprise will surely
be attracted whereas, Lalf-starved
concern, whose principal income is
derived from legal or foreign adver-
tisements repels those whose coming
would benefit the place of its publ
cation. Nor ought it be asked of us
that we should modify our political
views, as long as we clothe them in
decent language. A man who can
not tolerate differences of opinion
in this free country ought not to
aspire to sell goods to more than one
class Of customers-those as narrow
minded as himself. There is a COM
mon ground, however, which we oc.
cupy with every business man in
Marshall County, and that is found
in desire TO say and do those things
that will tend to develop the resour-
ces of this region. The publishers
of the REPUBLICAN modestly claim
that they have done something al
ready in this respect, and their en-
terprise in this behalf is only limited
by the narrow confines set to their
means.
Mechanics find in the REPUBLICAN
a firm and consistent advocate Of
their interests. Being ourself son
of toll we have always striyen to make
the road easier to travel by those
who will follow us. The dignity Of
labor we have always contended for,
and while it is natural for us all to
desire a period of repose, especially
in our declining years, we pity no
man who has health and strength
sufficient for his daily task. We
know by experience that that is the
sweetest bread which is earned and
eaten in the sweat of the brow. The
triumphs of American industry we
are always proud to record, and we
believe that it is the true policy Of
he Government to extend to it suf-
icient protection to enable it to sue
compete with the cheaper
abor of other countries.
Farmers will always find us a jeal-
ous guardian of their interests, know
ng that imposts laid upon agriculture
lepress every branch Of industry,
making food dearer, and placing the
accessories of life beyond the reach
Of the toiling millions. To this end
we shall oppose combinations and
nonopolies having for their object
the absorption of the legitimate prof
It's of the farmer, while the products
Of his labor at last find their way into
the hands of the consumer with en-
HANGED profits piled upon increased
prices.
The publishers of the REPUBLICAN
desire to number among their read
ers not only politicians and men of
business, but also those who prefer
a lighter mental diet When their
are completed they in
tend to give at least one good story
each week, together with shorter
sketches amusing and instructive.
The paper will be a welcome visitor
to the freside of every home, and
will be as anxiously expected by the
wife and children as by the husband

In conclusion, the publishers de-
sire to say that it is their ambition to
publish the best paper in Indiana
They realize that they are not cater
ing to the mental tastes of a rude and
uncultivated people, but are denizens
of rich and populous region. They
therefore desire to burst the bonds
that have confined their enterprise,
and seek the opportunity Of publish
ing a paper which in every depart
ment shall truly represent the most
dvanced ideas of humanity and civil
