DAILY, SEMI-WEEKLY AND WEEKLY
In presenting the prospectus Of The
Inter Ocean for the year 1881, it 10 scarce
ly necessary to remind the people of the
northwest that the paper has been, from
the date Of its establishment, pre-. eminent
as an exponent of stalwart Republicanism,
and in advance Of all others in promul
eating that system of political ethics
which has as Its foundation the idea of
humanity in politics. 1t is not the ad-
vocate OF ColdIy conceived theories, bu,
the champion of ideas warm with the
blood of struggling and bleeding human
ity. AS such it is read and known Uf all
men.
1t is not necessary to say that 1he Inter
Ocean has never deserted the platform or
principles on which it began the fgh.
Tor the rights of the citizen or lis work in
the interests of the people, but it is graf
flying 10 know that the Republican party
has come finally to stand squarely on this
slalwart platform, and that in thus NOV
ing forward the party leaders have &C.
kGDwledged that the position OF The Inter
Ocean, taken years ago, was correct. THIS
is, to The Inter Ocean, the heartiest and
most emphatic Endorsement OF Its policy
aud the most effective testimony as to the
value of its)intluence, and the quality ofits
adership.
The influence Of It's leadership was
never more apparent, nor the hold The
Inter Ocean has ON earnest Republicans
was never more forcibly illu: trated than
during the last Presidential campaign.
Til rough the campaign the earnestness,
loyalty, and enterprise Of the paper were
everywhere recognized as important fac.
tors in determining the result, and its STA.
:us as the leading Republican journal of
the northwest was fixed beyond dispute.
In view Of these facts. it is only neces-
sary to say that The Inter Ocean will
maintain this position by continuing in
the s,raigh forward course that has male
it so many friends among Republicans
every where, and that has given it repu.
lation for courageous fairness and jour
nalistic zeal and enterprise.
1t viii insist on party policy essen.
TALLY stalwart, believing that the interests
of all sections and the welfare of oil
classes will be best conserved by close
adherence to The fundamental principles
OF Repnblicanism.
1t will maintain its present attitude in
favor Of protecting American industry
against the pauper labor and concentrated
capital Of the old world, aud will be fore
most in the fight on any new questions
that may be sprung on the Republican
party.
The Inter Ocean will discuss all public
questions fairly and fearlcssly; it will
give the news accurately and fully, sup
plemenling ii with intelligent and fair
minded comment; 1t will maintain its
high standard In state, Washington and
foreign responsiveness and will continue
10 devote special attention to departments
having reference to home affairs.
THE Curiosity Shop" "Women's
Kingdom" and Farm and Home" have
grown better with each succeeding year,
and tie conscientious effort that gave
them their popularity will be devoted tc
| their improvement.
The veterinary department, in charge
| Of practical veterinary surgeon, will be
made OF special value to horsemen and
stock growers.
In the department of fiction the bes,
| serials have been secured, and these will
| appear in connection with short stories
and sketches.
The market reports, taking in financial
and commercial news and discussion Of
trade topics, will tie made full: and rel,a.
BILE, giving special attention To matters in
which the merchants, stock.growers and
farmers Of the northwest have a direc,
interest.
The Weekly Inter Ocean Will give the
news of each week complete, presenting
important matters in delail, and cOndens
ing minor news in such u way as 10 mol
obscure or weaken any statement of fact
The weekly will be, in short, more com
prehe nsive in character and scope than
any other political or general newspaper
in The country.
In addition TO all other department.
mentioned in connection with the weekly
the semi-weekly will continue IT'D educa
tional department under the present aOle
editor.
Believing that Tho Inter Ocean contrib
uted not q little TO Republican success il
the last campaign, the proprietors have
no hesitation in asking the stalwarti
of the country to aid them IN widening
It's field Of influence The wholesomenesa
and effectiveness Of the influence of such
paper have been demonstrated beyond
dispute. Republicans interested in
maintaining the integrity and esprit d.
corps of the party are interested in in'
creasing the circulation of those papera
that contribute most to the desired ends
Among all such papers The Inter Ocean
stands first.
There is no variation In the prices oi
the various editions. The Inter Ocean
is the cheapest paper-considering the
amount of reading matter furnished and
Its high character a. ajournal-published
