A PAPER FOR THE PEOPLE.

The presidential year" il always a
reading year with the American people.
1t imposes extraordinary duties on jour
mails from which the people may usual
ly expect not only the news of the day,
but intelligent discussion of public ques-
tiOns and enunciatiOn of opinions. While
this is true in general sense the wear be-
fore us is likely, iu political sense, to be
one of unusual interest; the Democratic
party is breaking up, and there are inhica-
tinns of alliances and purposes altogether
novel in our politics. The elections of the
past year have resulted in almost an un-
broken series of Republican Victories.
General Grants administration has receiv
ell the unquivoca! Endorsement of the
American people and there is every in
dicttiOn now that as the Republican can
didate, he will be re-elected President. As
an Independent Republican Paper the
COMMERCIAL will i'm the future, as in the
past, render an undertaking support to
Republican Principles, holding that the
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 struggl'. In the future as in the
past il will speak its own views regarding
men and m asures, holding that through
free discussion only can safe conclusions
be reached and the independence OF the
press preserved. In this regard we can
say simply that the COMMERCIAL will he
true tn itself and its established character.
As Newspaper, nothing will be spared
to maintain the position which the Com
MERcIAL has always held among the lead
ing journals of the day, for news enter
nrise as well as for independent opinions.
This year, at home and abroad will be
full of interest European politics are
agitated, and the American reader will
likely find mu,h in them to attract his at
tention. At home all is life and pnSh.
Railroads are being constructed every
whore new projects are almost daily pro-
claimed population is increasing; enter
prise intelligently directed was never so
well rewarded, and tho prospect for the
wonder full activities of our country is, to
say the least, eXtrem ely encouraging.
With all these things he COMMERCIAL is
intimately identified and as a Business
Paper, at the center of the greatest manu-
featuring district on the continent, has
constantly in view whatever of interest
readers may reasonably expect to see in
| its scolumns.-esnecially carefully prepar-
| ed market reports, manufacturing tntelli-
| gence and general news, collected and
