A PAPER FOR THE PEOPLE.

i
The presidential year. Is always n
reading year with tho American people,
1t 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 ques-
| tions and onunciation of opinions. While
| this is true in general sense the year be-
fore us is likely, in 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 i'm almost an un-
| broken series of Republican victories.
General Grants administration has receiv-
ell 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 tho
past, render an undertaking support 20
Republican Principles, holding that tho
good of the Republic requires that tho
Government should remain i'm the hands
of the party that saved il I'm tho great life
or death struggle. In the future MS in tho
past IL will speak its own views regarding
men and measures holding that through
free discussion only can safe conclusions
| bc reached and the independence of the
press preserved I'm this regard we can
say simply that the COMMERCIAL will DO
As Newspaper, nothing will be spared
to maintain the position which the CONF
| NtERCtAL has always held among the lead
ing Journals of the day, for news enter
prise as well as for independent opinions.
This year, at homo and abroad, will be
full of interest. European politics are
agitated and the American reader will
| likely find much in them 10 attract his at
tention. At homo all is life and push.
Railroads are being constructed every
where; new projects are almost daily pro-
claimed population is increasing; enter
prise intelligently directed was never so
well rewarded, and the prospect for tho
wonderful activities of our country is, to
say the least, extremely encouraging.
With all these things the COMMERCIAL is
intimately identified. and as Business

featuring district on tho continent, has
