In this contest, the GAZETTE will maintain
tain the principles and course laid down in its
previous annual circulars, anu adhered TO in
It's editorial columns. The Democratic party
brought aIltne calamiIies anu burdens upon
the country IL has given no evidence OF ca
pacIty To reform its own character, or to lay
GU: a policy OF government. Even on the Ques>
tions OF currency and finance, which Ii at
tempIs 10 set up the sole issue, the party Is
at war with Itself. Its restoration to the cons
troll of the National government would be u
national calamity. lIs present coDtroi of The
House Of Representatives, is a partIa! anarchy
and paralysis OF the government. While per
1ect purity Is not claim, for the Rupublican
party, yet 1t has the never-dying glory OF hav-
ing saved the Republic from Democratic disu-
nion; 1t has dealt with Inc faults of Its public
men with "A mel ciIess hanu; II is the ouly par

wno will deserve the confidence of the coun-
Try, Oh "a platform of refoI IN and progress.
The general character eli the GAZETTE is es-
tabIIshed by lis life, and, therefore, needs DO
promises Tor the future. 1t maintains Repub-
.Ican principles such as IL believes best for the
general welfare, and it holds party organiz2-
tIon as simply An agency to carry them into
effect in the administration OF government.
the GAZETTE asks no favors from thoAe In
power, and is Indepe ndent in tie course It
takes, and Is AS Tree 10 condemn abuses inside
the Republican party ii the opposition.
TnIs fearless course has earned for ii the Tecog-
uized position OF the leading Republican Jour
On the question Of currency, the GAZETTE
maintains the line of policy set forth in its
annual circulars. While it holds that the
eventual divorce ofthe government from the
banking business, and the restoration of the
currency TO convertibility with coin, are TO be
kept steadily in view, it also holds that the
sil uation growing out of the prostration OF the
public credit by The war OF secession, which
eft IN enormous volume of irredeemable and
deprecated paper money, which has become
the measure OF general values and contracts
is one whose reform must be gradual and by
cautious and stable measures. Experience has
proved that. " it'll the stoppage of further is
sues, there is steady tendency ol the curren
cy to appreciation. The first step OF REFORM
therefore, is to stop the further increase oithe
volume of irredeemable paper meney. When
we shall have settled that, and thus have given
full course to the natural improvement OF the
currency from that, it will be time enough to
deliberate measures to close the remaining gap
between paper and coin.
As complete American newspaper, the GA
zETTE has no superior on the continent. AS q
commercial paper, IL has long been regarded
as the standard. and it " i'll maintain this po-
sition. It's value as an agricultural paper is
seen in its voluminous correspondence from
practical farmers who make it their medium
for exchanging views and intelligence 1t is
not unmindful OF the literary wants of the
family. 1t contains more reading matter than
any other paper published in this city, and the
character ofits contents precludes any COM
par.son of it with the trashy cheap papers that
are continually springing up. 1t is printed
from stereOty ped plates, by the new 'Periecting
Press which makes its typographical execu-
tion better than ever.
Choice stories. poetry, and miscellany, inter-
esting to young and old. have always been
prominent features pertaining to the Weekly
and Semi-Weekly Gazette, and increased
prominence will begiven to them during the
coming year.
The Gazette, in mechanical execution, in the
quantity aud quality ofits reading matter, and
in all the questions of the public welfare. will
continue its progress abreast with the times.
