THE COMING YEAR. ~
The year 1873 will be notable for two reasons.
It Will be the Centennial year of the Republic.
IL viii he marked by a Presidential election con-
test OF great Importance. In this campaign the
issues which Will divide parties VIII be OF an
aDsorolng nature and of great magnitude Their
problems will relate mainly to grave Questions
OF Finance, Public Education, and reforms In
tions which peculiarly require long and patient
discussion, and careful Investigation. Their
infinite variety of phases cannot be thoroughly
speeches, like ordinary ,olIsical Issues. On the
contrary, the pubic MINI will demand the edu-
cation of line upon line and precept upon pre-
c,pt, through long continued discussion, Tor
which an able pubic newspaper furni,hes the
best medium of iniorDati0n and argument.
These economic questions. moreover. touch di-
r9ctly every busiuess and industrial interest, Of
the country, They effect every maus pocket,
every worsingman's labor and wages, and the
pront of every farm, shop, and business in the
Republic. The issues will be such that al viii be
directly a1d strongly Interested In knowing what
Is true and what Is ialse
AYEAR OF NOTABLE EVENTS.
There has, therefore. never been a year In the
history of this countrr when the circulation OF
abe. honest, Intelligent public Journals has been
mo- e Important than it will be during the year
Is76. There has never been year when the cir
culation of faithful anu abIy-editef Republican
journals was 30 necessary TO the party as It Will
be during the year 1876. Nor has there Teen ear
when good public journal could be as interest,"
ing 70 the public as ir will be during the coming
y ar. II will be year of greatly notable, II Lot
X and, events. The Centennial Exhibition the
celebration, in all parts OF The Republic. OF the
Nations Hundreth birthday; great International
contests in which the representatives OF other ma
tons will take part the presence in this connti
OF many lllustrous foreigners; the great pOnclcai
conventions. debates and platforms, the great r..
ligious and political movements in Europe; and
many otner probabls notable and exciting vc-
usual and continued interest during the coming
year. 1t will be year when no intelligent citl-
zen can afford to be ~ithOut
A FIRST-CLAss PAPER.
It is generally conceded by intelligent readers
hav ng the opportunities OF comparison, th.t In
all that goes 10 make up fr5t-clAss newspaper
TIE POsr has no equal among AIchigan jour
nais In each OF its editions. and in all OF lis de-
partments, it is edited with great care, preser en-
healthy and elevated tone, AID has well-earn-
ed reputation for abil Y, scholarship, good tasie
and vigorous originality.
THE COMING PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION.
In the great political contest OF 1876 The rOsT
Will continue to advocate earnestly AID honestly
the great principles OF the republican party. IL
Will utter no uncertain sound, nor shirk any
duty. Ii will, with all the vigor it can command,
utter the voice OF the best intelligence the truest
morality, aHdthe highest patriotism OF Michigan.
And we are confident that In no other Way can
the republican party, and the cause OF good gov
ernmeat, honest money, and the best basi. eas
interest, OF the conntIy and the st te. be so eff
fectlvely served in this state Is by giving wide
circulation 10 reliable, able, and energetic ke-
publican newspapers.
THE GREAT ISSUES.
The country, it is now ev dent, can rely with
confidence upon the Republican party only for
lightened public opinion. These reforms axe:
L. The reform OF the currency, so that honest
industry may receive its ld-earnei wages III
money which is As good "a gold,
n ma
against the open assaults and iuslduou5 wiles OF
enemies tho give their 4 ;st allegiance TO q for
elgn ecClestlcal power.
3. The promotion OF honesty, economy and ct
fclency in the public service.
1. The regill alton of monopoies.
8. Deiense Of freedom of speech and security
OF person and property in all the states of The
Union against oppression or outrage on account
OF political and social preiuftice..
q. the sacred pre-ervatiOn or the public fai n
alike 10 the crcSitors OF .h3 Governments and
the people.
No hope can be placed In the Democ ATTIC party
for aIy OF these reforms fnat par9y has been
loud In It's promises, buL shameless It's betraya
OF trusg. It's recent history Is q history of wicked
assaults again ttu public cre,i;r, and Of unpati-
.tlc aillahce y ith the enemies o. American free
IGstl' utlons II several great states II ls W

oniy 10 ue5ase aud ultimately destroy The cur
rency OF the people, through unlimited lLhitl,n
u IOrei er irrcdceln able iapcr Donvy an final
reputation. but also Gepudlation OF the National
faitb toward its creditors at home and abroad IL
Is, therefore, plain that there Is no hope OF cur
rency ref I'm from tie Democratic parry; and
that the public can loJk 10 i.c Republican party
only Tor this reform.
The Democratic party. In seyeral States, il no.
toriOusiy IN secret alliance with the Jcsuits in
theiI assaults upon our comHyn school system.
In Ohio, The pass age OF the Geghan law, upOH the
g ow Ell declaration { the organs Of the Roman
catholic Church, that its passage weni'i be re,
waIueU By giving the Democratic party ''the solid
Catholic VOTE while its failure would he pun
isaed by disruptlhg the pariy, Is tact of great
Significance. In Ohio, New Jersey, New i ork.
and other states, open attempts have been made
- corrupt, hervert, or destroy the American pub
lie school system. Yet the Democratic State
platforms recently adopted, have been utterly
the queetie' OF sectarian appropriations from
the public treasury, while the Republic an State
platoon have openly and manfuiiy denounced
Doth these abuses.
Tor the promotion of honesty, economy and
efficiency II the public service, The country has
nothing 10 hope from Democratic ascendency.
That party, wherever 1t has oUtaine power, has
betrayed the people. In New Ork IL put and
kept IN off C the BOSS tniet' Of the or,d-,hc
RO,OrlOus WEED-and il is now corrupted by the
notorious "canai ring" In limos, the last Leg
inefficient, and contemplate, known in the his
tory OF the State In OHIO, anu Indiana, Increased
taxation, corruption. and nediclency, have been
marked results OF democratic al tendency.
The preservation Of freedom OF speech, and OF
peace, SAFETY and public Oruer, is demanded by
every patriotic consideration. But 1t is nolori US
tnat, III 'He So!tnern states, anC tnae recently,
Democratic n obs have indnlged in riot insurrec-
tion, and murder, for political ends; that Demo
cratic state governments have made no attempt
to suppress ouch disorders and the Democratic
party docs not even intend to offer security for
free speech and Tree opiltiOn against political or
social prejuoices. The ratification OF the coun.
try. and the defense Oh personal liberty and
rights, can only be secured through the ascen-
de, cy OF the Republican party.
As 4 FAMILY NEWSPAPER,

part OF q newspaper education While hoping to
promote the general good through this medium,
it will scrupulously guard against dong individ-
ual harm.
The Literary Character Of THE OsT is higher
in tone and broader in scope than that OF any
other Detroit paper. Its news department is ed
tied with reference to furnishing thu most accur-
ate inforlnatIon.on the most SUBJECTS. The t~ en-
ty-fye to forty columns of Geographic dispatches
received each week by THE DAILY POST are
carefully condensed and summarized especially
tor the WEEKLY. and thus the news from all
parts of the world is given with each issue In
addition, it employs large corps of local COR
RESPONDENTS in the State, whose especial duty it
is to give more In detail an account OF domestic
events. The proceedings of State organizations.
the Legislative, religious, educational, and other
local bodies are all carefully reported.
The Market Reports given in the various edi-
lions Of THE Posi- are by all odds more full and
reliable than those of any of its Detroit cOnte
pOraries, each separate issue being carefully re-
vised and corrected.

devoted to Agriculture, Horticulture and House.
hold affairs, has been added to THE POST during
the past year, and placed under the charge Of q
thoroughly competent special editor. This feature
