THE
GLOBE DEMOCRAT
PROSPECTUS
THE

In issuing its prospectus for 1881,
the Glohe- Democrat can make no
promise for the future that is not rea-
sonably sure Of fulfllment, Judging
from its history in the past. In the
Presldetial contest just closed it was
recognized as the leading champion
of the Republican cause in the West,
advocating the men and the principals
of the great party Of freedom and ma
tionality, and always the exponent
of its advanced thought. We shall
continue that course u~nfaltefingly In
the future, so long as the Republican
party remains true to the mission on
which it set forth twenty years ago.
The elction Of james A. Garfield
and Chester A. Arthur as President
and vice President of the United
States, by an unquestioned majority
of the Electoral votes, peace
and prosperity to the country for
four years. We believe the Adj
ministration will soon gain, and will
steadily hold, the confidence, not only
of the Republican party, but of the
nation, by its wisdom and integrity,
as well as by its loyalty to the princi-
lpes of the organization which placed
it in power. The Globe-Democrat
firmly hopes to be able to give to
President Garfield a c,rdia. and earn
est support. 1t believes that he will
do the right as he sees it, and that he
will bring to the discharge of his
Presidential duties a clear head, an
honest heart and a determination to
serve his country to the best of his
ability. Certain it is that no man ev-
er enterd the White House better fit
ted than he by nature, education and
experience to furnish all that we ex-
pect from a good President.
The Republican party is now more
thronghly united and harmonious
than it has been in many years. There
are no rival wings to it and no oppos-
ing factions in it. The campaign
that has just closed welded it together
in a solid mass against the common
foe. and there are now no signs of
possible division. We believe this
unity and harmony will continue
throughout Gen. Garfield's Admins
tration, and will result in q long-con-
tinued lease of power to it. The
Democratic party is broken and de-
Observation-Disclosures under the best
candidate it has had in twenty years
and not likely ever again to present
the unbroken front which the Repub-
lican party had to meet on the I'd of
November, 1880.
While national rather than local in
its conduct and purpose, the Globe
Democrrt will devote specil attention
to the subject of immigration, doing
its best to invite the thrifty farmers
and mechanics of the East and of fu-
rope to settle on the fertile lands of
the Southwest. and especilly of the
State of Missouri. This sub eot has
engaged u attention in the past,
and now that there are four years
ahead of us free from the turmoil and
excitement of a national political con-
test, we shall be enabled to give it ad-
ditional thought and energy. There
is room in the territory tributary to
the great City of st. Louis for mil
lions of new inhabitants, and there is
land enough now untitled to feed the
world if cultivated 20 it's capacity. To
invite those in pursuit of home in the
West to the fact capable of being
shown on this subjectshall boone ofthe
special aims and features of the Globe
Democrat.
In its commercial reports the
Globe-Democrat has always been I'M
rivalled among its contemporaries. In
this department We shall always
keep pace with the growing demands
of st. Loui, and the West in all that
is to be expected from a great news
paper published in the metropolis of
the Mississippi Valley.
We shall aim, in addition to a
weekly record of current events, to
present our readers with a newspaper
for the Farm, the Family and the
Fireside. Special attention will be
given to these several departments.
which have been conspicuous fea-
lures of the Globe-Democrat in the
past.
No newspaper, East. or West is
better equipped than the Globe
Democrat for the collection and pub
LEGATION of news from all parts of the
world. Our list of special CORES
pondents covers all the news centres
in this country and in Europe, and
they are ALL instructed to spare no
labor or expense in procuring the
latest and most reliable information,
and transmitting it promptly by tel
egraph. Our weekly readers will get
the full benefit of this Sc vice in Sc
lectioHs from the most important of
the dispatches sent to the Daily
