A PAPER FOR THE PEOPLE.

The "Prcsidontial year. Is always q
reading year with the American people.
II imposes extraordinary duties on jour
nails from which the people may usual
ly expect not only the news of the day,
but intelligent discussion of public uues-
tions and enunciation of opinions. While
this is true i'm q general sense the year be-
fore us is likely, in n political sense, to be
one of unusual interest ;--the Democratic
party is breaking up, and there are indica-.
tions of alliances and purposes altogether
novel in our politics. The elections of the
past year have resulted in almost an I'M
broken series Of Republican victories.
General Grants administration has recev-
ed the unquivocal Endorsement Of the
American people and there is every in
dication now that, as the Republican can
didate, he will be reelected President As
an Independent Republican Paper the
COMMERCIAL will in the future, as in the
past, render an undertaking support to-
Republican Principles, holding that tho
good of the Republic requires that the
Government should remain in the hands
of the party that saved il in the great life
or death struggle. In the future as In the
past il will speak its own views regarding
men and measures, holding that through
free discussion only can safe conclusions
be reached and tho independence OF the
press preserved. In this regard we can.
say simply that the COMMERCIAL will bo

As Newspaper, nothing VIII be spared
to maintain the position which the COM
MERCIAL has always held among the lead
ing journals of the day, for news enter
prise as well as for Independent opinions.
This year, at home and abroad, will be
full of interest, European politics are
agitated, and tho American reader will
likely find much in them 10 attract his at
tention. At homo all is lifo and push.
Railroads are being constructed every.

prise intelligently directed was never so.
well rewarded, and the prospect for the
wonderful activities of our country is, TO
say the least, extremely encouraging.
With all these things the COMMERCIAL is.
intimately identified. and as a Business
Paper, at the center Of tho greatest manu-
featuring district on tho continent, has
constantly in view whatever of interest
readers may reasonably expect to see in
its columns, especially carefully prepar-
ed market reports, manufacturing intelli-
senco and general news, collected and
from abroad.
To our patrons we have only words OF
cheer. With some our readers we have
held pleasant relations for years. 1t will
bo our aim to deserve the continuance Of
these relations for many years 10 come.
We feel proud in the fact that the COM
MERCIAL wields an influence second to no
journal in the State. Its readers as gen-
oral thing are the influential, intelligent
classes. In circle of hundreds of miles,
embracing nearly the whole of Pennesyl-
vania, much of Ohio, West Virginia and
States beyond it is the favorite in the
counting-house, the office, the store and
the family especially of business and culti-
waited classes. To hold this place will be
our constant effort.
