A PAPER FOR THE PEOPLE.

The "Presidential year" Ia always q
reading year with the American people.
n 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 aud enunciation uf opinions. While
this is true In Il general sense the wear be-
fore us IL likely, i" u political sense, to be
one of unusual interest; the Democratic
party is breaking mp, and there are IN lea
lions of alliances and purposes altogether
novel In our politics. The elections of the
past year have resulted iu almost an un-
broken series of Republican victories.
General Grants administration has receiv

As a Newspaper. nothing will bo spared
to maintain the position which the COM

agitaied, and the American reader will

Railroads are being constructed every
whore; new projects are almost daily pro-
claimed; popu,ation is incrcaSing; iter-
prise intelliTputly directed was never SO
well rewarded, and the prospect for The
wonderful activities of our country Is, to
saw the least, extremely encouraging.
With all these things he COMMERCIAL is
