The Inter Ocean For 1884
Daily, Semi-Weekly, and Weekly.

In presenting the prospectus ofThe Inter Ocean
for the year $751; it is scarcely necessary to re-
mind the people of the Northwest that the paper
has been from the date of its establishment pre-
eminent as an exponent of stalwart Republican
ism, and i'll advance OF all others in prOmulgat-
ing that system of political ethics which has as
its foundation the idea of humanity in politics
1t is not the advocate of coldly conceived theo-
ries, 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 principles on
which it began the fight for the rights of the c1t-
zen its work in the interests of the people but it
is gratifying to know that the Republican party
hascome finally to stand squarey on this stalwart
platform, and that in thus moving forward the
party leaders have acknowledged that the posi-
ton of The Inter Ocean, taken years ago. was
correct. 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 its leadership
The influence of this leadership never
more apparent, nor the hold The Inter Ocean
has on earnest Republicans was never more fore
IDLY illustrated than during the last Presidential
campaign. Through the campaign the earnest
ness, loyalty, and enterprise of the paper were
everywhere recognized as important factors in
determining the result and its status the
leading Republican journal of the Northwest
was fixed beyond dispute.
In view of these facts, it is only necessary to
say that The Inter Ocean will maintain this posi-
ton by continuing. in the straightforward course
licans everywhere, and that has given it q repu-
tation for courageous fairness and journalistic
zeal and enterprise.
1t will insist on party policy essentially stall
wart, believing that the interests of all sections
and the welfare of all classes will be best con-
served by close adherence to the fundamental
principles of Republicanism,
1t will maintain its present attitude in favor of
protecting American industry against the pauper
labor and concentrated capital Of the old world
and will be foremost in the fight on any new
questions that may be sprung on the Republican
party.
The Inter Ocean will discuss all public ques-
lions fairly and fearlessly; it will give the news
accurately and fully, supplementing 1T with in
telligent and tairmnded comment: it will main
tain its high standard in State, Washington, and
foreign correspondence, and will continue to
devote special attention to departments having
reference to home affairs.

fort that gave them their Improvement.
