The Journal, in issuing its prospectus 70
I874-the thirtieth year of its uninterrupt
ed publication gra tefully acknowledge
the generous support of the reading public
of the Northwest. Its circulation has in
creased with its years, and its prospect ty
keeps pace with the marvellous progress of
our city and country.
AS newspaper the Journal gives tn e
current intelligence from every part of the
country and world as promptly and reliably
Geographic and mail facilities enable it
to do. Avoiding the extravagances ard
exaggerationS of Sensational journalism, -
it nevertheless succeeds in giving all tie
news of the day in readable, comprehen-
sible and trustworthy form.
As political paper, The Journal is IN
earnest sympathy with the general spirit
and purposes Of the great Republican party
of the nation, but deems itself as free TO
criticise as to commend men aud measures
of all parties. Prominent in its creed is the
doctrine that it is the duty OF Congress to
protect, foster and encourage, by all legiti
mate means, the industrial and wealth pro-
ducing interests Of the county and equally
prominent in it's creed is The recognition Of
the necessity of legislative protection of the
ions OF corr crate monopolies.
The Journal aims to discuss all current
questions of public concern, with candor
and fairness, and to be a safe guide Ct pop
ular sentiment
AS family journal it eadeavors to be in
.structive and entertaining, and to exert a
wholesome ano moral influence in the com
immunity.
The Market Report of The Journal
are full, fresh and accurate. In this de-
partment the utmost possible fidelity as to
facts and figures is aimed at, without the
least partlality towards either the buyer or
the seller The ''bulls' and clears must
figh, their battles outside of The Journals
columns--its province being to give the
truth, regardless of speculative Interests.
The Daily Evening Journal is published
at 3 and O. clock every afternoon, Sun
days excepted.
The Tri-Weekly Journal, containing all
the news Of two days, is published every
other day tuesdays, Thursdays and Sat-
urdays.

filed general news, family and CONNER
cial paper, is published every Wednesday

popular weekly papers in the Northwest.
