THE INTER OCEAN FOR 1881,
Daily, semi-Weekly, and Weekly.

IL presenting the prospectus of The Inter
Ocean for the year 1881, it is scarcely neces-
sary 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 Repubicanism, and in advance of all
others in promuIgating that system of poiti-
cal ethics which has as its foundation the idea
of humanity in politics. 1t is not the advo-
cate of coldly conceived theories, but the
champion of ideas warm with the blood of
struggling and bleeding humanity As such
it is read and known OF all men.
1t is not necessary to say that The Inter
Ocean has never deserted the platform or
principles on which it began the fight for the
rights of the citizen or its wo X in the inter-
ests of the people, but it is gratifying to know
that the Republican party has come finally to
stand squarely on this stalwart platform, and
that in thus moving forward the party lead
ers have acknowledged that the position of
The Inter Ocean, taken years ago, was cor
rect This is, to The Inter Ocean, the hearth
est and most emphatic Endorsement of its
policy and the most effective testimony as to
the value Of its influence, and the quality of
It's leadership.
The influence Of its leadership was never
more apparent, nor the hold The Inter Ocean
has on earnest Republicans was never more
forciblv illustrated than during the last Pres
identia campaign. Through the campaign
the earnestness, loyalty, and enterprise of
the paper were everywhere recognized as
important factors in determining the result,
and its status as the leading Republican Jour
nat ofthe Northwest was fixed beyond dispute.
In view of these facts, it is only necessary
to say that The Inter Ocean will maintain
this position by continuing in the straightfor.

among Republicans everywhere, and that has
given it reputation for courageous fairness
and journalistic zeal and enterprise
1t will insist on party policy essentially
stalwdrt, believing that the interests of all
sections and the welfare of all classes will be
best conserved by close adherence to the
fundamental principles oe Republicanism.
1t will maintain its present attitude in favor
of protecting American industry against the
pauper labor and concentrated capital of the
whole world, and will be foremost in the fight
on any new questions that may be sprung on

the Inter Ocean will discuss all public
questions fairly and fearlessly; it will give
the news accurately and fully, supplementing
it with intelligent and fair. minded comment ;
it will maintain its high standard in State,
Washington, and foreign correspondence, and
will continue to devote special attention to
departments having reference to hone affairs.
''The Curiosity Shop, ""Woman's Kingdom,

department under the present able editor.
Believing that The later Ocean contributed
not little to Republican success in the last
campaign. the proprietors have no hesitation
in asking the stalwarts of the country to aid
them in widening its field of influence. The
wholesomeness and effectiveness of the in1u-
ence OF such paper have been demonstrated
beyond dispute. Republicans interested in
maintaining the integrity and esprit de corps
of the party are interes ted in increasing the
circulation of those papers that contribute
most to the desired ends. Among all such
papers The Inter Ocean stands first.
There is no variation in the prices of the
various editions The Inter Ocean is the
cheapest paper-consideriug the amount of
reading matter furnished and its high charac-
ter as a journal-published in the country.
