/ In a political sense the Commercial
is thoroughly Independent. 1t recog-
nizes no obligations to party organize
tions. Its sincerity in this position is
popularity understood, and so largely
appreciated that its subscribers and
habitual purchasers in either political
party Outnumber those of the party
organs, and its aggregate circulation is
greater than that of its competitors
combined.
I 1t takes a hearty interest in the poll
tics of Europe, which telegraphic COM
munication has brought into very init
mate relations with US, and, earnestly
vindicating and sustaining the devel-
opment OF nationality in Germany and
Italy, it cordially sympathizes with
the Republican cause in France and
tSpain.
The speciality of the Commercial is
the news OF the day. We spare no eff
fort and no expense at home or abroad,
to obtain by telegraph, by mail or ex-
fprrss, the latest intelligence, and to
present it in the most attractive and
lauthentic form. Our Editorial remarks
upon events, ard discussions of the
events of the day, are according to our
independent judgment, having always
in view the efficacy OF the truth in the
interests of the people. We 90 not
seek official favors or partisan patron
age, but rely wholly upon the business
that grows out of the respect and good
will of the public at large.
The current history OF the world will
possess, this winter, exceptional inter-
} est. The complications in our foreign
, relations, even threatening war, must
command constantly our serious con-
sideration, and the session of the
2 American Congress about commencing,
' will absorb in an unusual degree the
5 attention of the country, for the most
: vital and searching issues, financial
: and political, await practical solution
Our relations with political parties
5 are such that we will not be suspected
= of tampering with the news in the in
/ terest of either. We mean to tell the
plain truth, and publish all the news.
