In presenting the prospectus ofThe Inter Ocean
tor the year 1851, it is scarcely necessary TO re-
mind the people fthe 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 i'll promugat-
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 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 itbegan the fight for the rights ofthe clti-
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 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 contnuing.in the straightforward course
| licanS everywhere and that has given it a repu-
tation for courageous fairness and journalistic
| zeal and enterprise.

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 OH any new

| party.
The Inter Ocean will discuss all public ques-
tiOns fairly and tearesSly; 1t will give the news

foreign correspondence, and will continue to
devote special.attentiOn to departments having

and EARN and Home have grown better with
each succeeding year, and the conscientious eff
fort that gave them their improvement.
The Veterinary department, in charge OF a
practical veterinary surgeon. will be made of
special value to horsemen and stock-growers.

have been secured, and these will appear in con-
nectiOn~ 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

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 and scope
than any other political or general newspaper in
the country.
In addition to all other departments mention

widening its field of influence. The wholesome
ness and effectiveness of the influence of such a

rty 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.

Gus editions. The Inter Ocean is the cheapest
paper-considering the amount of reading mat
ter furnished and its high character as journal
