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

In presenting the prospectus ofThe Inter Ocean
for the year ISL, it is scarcely necessary to re-
mind the people ofthe Northwest that the paper
he's been, from the date of its establishment, pre-
eminent as an exponent of stalWart Republican
ISM and in advance of ell others i'll prOmulgat-
ing that system Of political ethics which has as
its foundation the idea of humanity III politics.
1t is not the advocate of coldly conceived theo-
res. but the champion of ideas warm with the
blood OF struggling and bleeding humanity. AS
such il 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 tbegan the fight for the rights Ofthe c1ti-
its work in the interests of the people but
| is gratifying to know that the Republican party
hascome finally to stand squarely 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 az to the value
of its influence and the quality of its leadership
! The influence of this leadership was 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 as 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
that has made it so many friends among Repub-
licans everywhere, and that has given it a 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 a close adherence to the fundamental
! principles of RepublicaniSm
! 1t will maintain its present attitude in favor OF
| protecting An eriCan industry against the pauper
| labor and concentrated capital of the old world
and will be foremost in the fight Oh any new
| questions that,may be sprung on the Republican
party.
The Inter Ocean will discuss all public ques-
tons fairly and fearlessy: it will give the news
accurately and fully, experimenting 1t with IN
teligent and tairmindcd comment: it will main
tain its high standard in State Washington, and
| foreign correspondence, and Will continue 10
! devote special attention to departments having
| reference to home affairs.
| s'The Curiosity Shop" "Womans Kingdom, -
| and Farm and Home have grown better with
| each succeeding year and the Conscientious Ell
! fort that gave them their improvement.
The Veterinary department, III charge OF a
practical veterinary surgeon, will be made of
special value to hoIsemen and stock-groWers.
In the department OF fiction the best serials
| have been secured, and these will appear in con-
| uectiOu with short stories and sketches.
The market reports taking in financial and
| commercial news and discussion OF trade topics,
will be made full and reliable, giving special at
tention to matters in which the merchants,
stock growers, and tanners ofthe Northwest have
| direct interest
| each weak complete preventing important mat
| tiers in detail and condensing minor news IN
such a way as to not obscure or weaken any
| statement of fact The weekly will be- IN short
| more comprehensive in character ana scope
than any other political or general newspaper IN
| the country.
| In addition to all other departments mention
| ed in connection with the weekly, the semi
| weekly will continue its educational department

| Believing thatlThe Inter ocean contrlputeo
not little to Republican success IN the lastc
paign the proprietors have no hesitation IN a *
! ing the stalWarts of the country to aid them IN
| widening its field of influence. The wholesome
| ness and effectiveness of the influence OF such
| paper have been demonstrated beyond dispute
| ReDublicans interested in maintaining the 1nteg-
rty and esprit lie corps of the party are interested

| contribute most to the desired ends. Among all
| such napers The Inter Ocean stands first.
