The Pittsburgh Commercial.
A PAPER FOR THE PEOPLE.

The presidential year. Is always a
reading year with the American people.
IL imposes extraordinary duties on Jour
nails from which the people may usual
~ expect not only the news of the day,
but intelligent discussion of public utes.
tions and enunciation uf opinions. While
this is true In general sense the year be-
fore MS is likely, iu 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 un-
broken series of Republican victories
General Grants administration has receiv
cd tho unquivocal Endorsement of the
American people and there IN 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 the
good of the Republic requires that the
Government should remain in the hands
OF the party that saved il i'm the great life
or death struggl". In the future rs in the
past it will speak its own views regarding
men and IN ASSURES, 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 be
true To itself and its established character.
As Newspaper, nothing will be spared
to maintain the position which the Cow
AERCIAL has always held among the lead
ing journals of the day, for news enter
prise as well as for independent opinions.
This wear, at home and abroad. will be
full of interest. European politics are
agitated, and the American reader will
likely find much in them To attract his at
tention. At home all is life and pueh.
Railroads are being constructed every
whore; new projects are almost daily pro-
claimed; popu,atiou Is increasing; inter-
prise intelligently directed was never 50
we'll rewarded. and the prospect for the
wonderful activities of our country is, 10
say the least, extremely encouraging.
With all these things he COMMERCIAL is
intimately identified and as n 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 columns, especially carefully propar-
ed market reports, manufacturing intelli-
gence and general news, collected and
from abroad.
To oar patrons We have only words of
cheer. With some our readers we have
held pleasant relations for years II will
be our aim to deserve tho continuance of
lfese relations for many years to come.
We feel proud in the fact that the Com
MERcIAL wields an influence second to no
journal in the State. It's readers as gem
eral 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, tho office, the store and
the family, especially of business and culti-
waited classes. To hold this place will be
our constant effort.
