The Inter Ocean For 1891,
Daily, Semi Weekly, and Weekly.

In presenting the prospectus of The Inter Ocean
tor the year 1881, 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 in 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 1t 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 tbegah the fight Tor the rights of the citi-
its work in the interests of the people but it
is gratifying to know that the Republican party
hascome finally to stand sQuarely 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 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 III the straight forward 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 close adherence to the fundamental
principles OF Republication,
II 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 any new
| OnpStiOnS that RpnuhlicaO
| party.
The Inter Ocean will discuss all public ques-
| tons fairly and fearlessly it will give the news
| accurately and fully, supplementing 1t with in
| teliigent and tairminded 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.
| 1.-THE Curiosity Shop" "Womans Kingdom -
and Farm and Home have grown better with
! each succeeding year, and the conscientious eff
| fort that ga them their improvement.
The Veterinary department, i'll charge of a
| practical veterinary surgeon, will be made of
| special value to Orsemen and stock grOWers.
In the department. of fiction the best serials
have been sec ur d, and these will appear in con-
| nectiou 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 farmers ofthe Northwesthave
| a direct interest.
The Weekly II ter Ocean will give the news of
| each weak conn lete, preventing important mat
| tiers in detail, and condensing MINOR news in
such way as to not obscure or weaken any
statement of fac. The weekly will be, in short,
| more comprehensive in character and scope
than any other Official 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
under the present able editor.
Believing that The Inter Ocean contributed
not little to Republican success in the last cam
paign, the prOpretOrS have no hesitation in X
ing the stalwarts of the country to aid them in
widening its field of influence. The whole some
ness and effectiveness of the influence of such q
paper have been demonstrated beyond dispute
Republicans interested in maintaining the integ-
rity and esprit de corps of the party interested
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 vari-
Gus editions. The Inter Ocean is the cheapest
paper-cOnsidering the amount of reading mat
ter furnished and its high character as a journal
published in the country.
