Prospectus of the
ST. LOUIS REPUBLICAN.
F0R 1874

A first class Family and News Journal |
ID eferring to its course in the past as |
III the best index of the spirit which |
will control its future management, |
the REPUBLICAN is encouraged to |
promise its readers marked advance
ment, in every particular that consti-
tutes great metropolitan journal, for
the year to come. 1t is with uncon-
cealed qualifications we are able to say
that within year and d week after
making changes and improvements
mere extensive than have ever been
made by the established and success
full paper Of the world, it is again
compelled to enlarge, increasing its
size from forty eight to tifty-six col
umns to meet the increasing volume
of news and advertisements. With
such signal evidences of vigor and en-
terprise as may be found in the pages
of its files, perfect confidence is assur-.
ed that no energy will be relaxed to
add to the numerous features which
have already made the REPUBLICAN
prominently the great newspaper of
the Mississippi Valley. Arrangements
are making and will rapidly be con-
summated by which it will enjoy in
creased facilities for the collection of
news, and no exertion will be spared
by which constant improvement and
progress may be exhibited, both in the
quality and quantity of the reading
matter presented to its patrons.
An extensive increase in its c.rcula-
ton, in the face Of stringent money
market and spite of the bitter denun-
citation by the partisan press on &C.
count of the Independent course which
it has pursued with reference to the
great political questions Of the day ,en-
courages its continuance in that course.
Cheered by popular approval and ami
mated by the Consciousness of right,
the REPUBLICAN will be fonnd, as
/ heretofore. sturdy advocate of Demo
cratic and Conservative principles, but
bound to no party and governed by no
dictation from clique or faction, Its
independence means freedom and en-
reimbursement, not alone from parties
as at present constituted, but from any
new ones that the politicians may con-
struct In brief, the REPUBLICAN,
making for its chief object the dis
} semination of the news. with intelli-
gent and conscientious comments upon
the topics of the day, will heartily ad
vocate those measures which promise
! the greatest good to the body of the
people, giving support to all move.
ments, political or otherwise, which
promise to further their interests ani
unhesitatingly opposing such as would
place them in jeopardy.
