THE
Globe Democrat
PROSPECTUS.

| In issuing its prospectus for 1851, the Globe
Democrat can make 10 promise for the future
that is not reasonably sure Of fulfilment.
judging from its history in the past In the
Presidential contest just closed it was recog-
nizsd As the leading champion OF the rcpubli-
can cause in the west, advocating the men
and the principles of the great party Of free
dom and Nationality. and always the expo
| nent of its advanced thought. We shall con-
tinue that course unfal:eringly in the future,
so long Us the republican party remains true
| to the mission on which il set forth twenty
| years apo.
The election Of James A Garfield and Ches-
ter A. Arthur as President and vice President
Of the United States, by an unquestioned ina
jOrity of the electoral votes, secures peace
and prosperity to the country for four years.
We believe the new administration will soon
gain and will steadily hold the confidence. not
only of the republican party but of the nation
loyalty to the principles Of the organization
which placed it in power. The Globe Demo
c-st firmly hopes to be APPLE to give President
Garfield cordial and earnest support. 1t be-
lieves he will do the right as he sees it, and
that h. will bring to the discharge Of his pres
identiai duties a clear head and honest heart
and Il determination to serve his country to
the bestsof his ability Certain it is that no
man ever entered the white house better fiji
ted than he by nature, educ ton and expert
ence to furnish all that We expect from good
president
The republican party is now more thorou-
ghly united and harmonious than it has been
in many years. There are no rival wings TO
it, and no opposing factions in it. The can.-
pAign that has just closed welded it together
in 4 solid mass against the common foe, and
there are now no sgnsssof possible division
We believe this unity and harmony will colt
tnue throughout General Gariield's Admini.-
tratiOn, and will result in long continue
lease Of power to it. The democratic party is
broken and demoraliZed-defeated under the
best candidate it has lind in twenty years
and not likely ever again TO present the un-
broken front which tine republican party Ii. d
to meet on the second of November 1880.
While nEtional rather than local in its con-
duct and purpose, the Globe Democrat will
devote special attention 20 the subject Of in
migration, doing its best to invite the thrifty
farmers in mechanics OF therast and of Eu-
rope TO settle on the fertile lands Of the south
west. and especially of the state of Missouri.
This subject engaged our attenti IN in the past
and now that there four years ahead Of
us free from the turmoil and excitement oi Il
national political contest. we shall be enabled
to give it additional thought and energy
There is room in the territory tributary to the
great city OF st. Louis for millions of new in-
habitants, ana there is land enough now an
titled to feed the world if cultivated to its ca
pacity. To invite those in pursuit ;of homes
in the west to the facts capable of being
shown on this subject shall be one Of the
special aims and features of the Globe Demo-
crat.
No paper east or west. is better equipped
than the Globe Demociat for the collection
and publication of news from all parts of the
world, Our list of special correspondents COW
ers all the news centers in this country and in
Europe and they are instructed to spare no
labor or expense in procuring the latest and
and most reliable information, and transmit
ing it promptly by telegraph. Our special te,-
egraph service has been greatly increased and
improved in the past year until it ranks among
the most liberal in the West. and il is our in
tention to continue in this direction, availing
ourselves of every opportunity to improve
this journal as an impartial record of curren,
events the world over. Our Weekly readers
will get the full benefit of this service in Sc
lectiOns from the most important of the dis
patches sent to the daily Globe Democrat.
In its commercial reports the Globe Demo-
crat has always been unrivalcd among its CO.
No journal in the west pays so
much attention to fullncss and accuracy in
giving faithful reflex of the markets from
day to day and from week to week In this
department we shall also keep pace with the
growing demands of st. Louis and the west in
al that is to be expected from q great news
paper, published in the commercial metropo-
lis of the Mississippi valley.
We shall aim in addition to a weekly rec
ord ofcurrent events, to present our readers
with q newspaper for the farm. and Family,
and the Fireside. Special attention will be
given to these several departments, which
have been conspicuous features of the Globe
Democrat in the past.
