IN THE YEAR OF

The Ifoneev-Iress will enter upon
the year 1875 with a stronger assur
sncc of vigor and usefulness than hat
ever before teen the promise of Min
nesota journal. The consolidation into
Que superior publication Of the two old
and favorlte newspapers Of the north
west, has given the united journal not
only an unprecedented circulation, bu,
a substantial basis OF business prosper
ity, which will enable it without sacri.
fee to fulfill every requirement Of the
advanced newspaper enterprise Of the
day. II will thus be able to realize
the aim which constantly inspires its
proprietors, Of making it the best local,
the best state, and the best general
newspaper west Of Chicago. This is
no vain boast. 1t is settled business
aud journalistic purpose. resulting
both from the ability to accomplish it,
and the conviction that that accom-.
plishmeut will pay.
Keeping in mind, during this ths
Centennial Year Of the nations groxtl,
and prosperity, the full demands made
upon a thoughtfal and Independent
journal by the abouuding events of
the period, aud recognizing the pecu.
liar fitness Of the time for the inaug-
uration Of such healthful reforms in
local and general government ~ the
awakened public sense requires, The
Ptionecr-Prcss will be found among the
most faithful and earnest champions
l. Of the return Of the govern.
ment to its pristine purity and sim.
plicity, aud the restoration of its 6uan.
ces to the only basis Of soundness and
steadiness consistent with the integrity
and good faith of the republic
2. Ola reform Of the present op-
preesive system Of collecting the rev
enue, ant the abolishment Of all dis
eliminating taxation, the object Of
which Is to make the rich richer aud
the poor poorer, and whose practical
effect has been to shift the burdens Of
government from the shoulders Of
eastern capital to those Of western pro-
duction.
3. OF a final aud settled abandon.
ment Of every centraliziug tendency,
and of all such unwarranted usurpa-
tions of power as have too often, es-
pecially iu the south, threatened the
very citadel Of republican liberty, and
endangered the foundation Of popular
government by interposing the bayon-
1t between the free citizen aud the
open b: Hot box,
4. Ofthe election 10 1876 Of a
president and Of a congress c"m,nitted
the reform Of all abuses which have
crept into the government, Of all cor.
,up,ions which have tainted its admln-
istratiou, aud Of all excesses which
have caused the burdens Of taxatio.l to
become onerous and difficult of support
S. OF the inauguration by congress
of a system Of improvements in water
transportation, which shall ensure
western produce against the axactions
Of rail monopoly, and yield to agricul.
tural industry the highest possible
rewards.
Thus, The Pioneer. Press promises,
with an earnest aud honest intention
to fulfill its pledge, that the highest
interests Of tie commonwealth and. OF
the country shall employ its bcs,
thoughts and its highest endeavors,
asking nothing from parties, it will
owe nothing to them save viyilan,
watchfulness Of their proceedings, and
a feerless criticism of their actions
Independent in all things, it will be
neutral in nothing.
In addition to these general purpos-
es, The Pioneer Press will maintain
and make increasingly prominent, the
special features which have heretofore
distinguished it, and given it its com
manding position as the leading journ
al Of the northwest. It will continue

prosperity it will be its study to con.
