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

In presenting the prospectus ofThe Inter Ocean
for the year $751; it is scarcely necessary to re-
mind the people oft 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 i'll promulgat-
ing that system of political ethics which has az
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 ii 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 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 on this stalwart
plat orm and that i'll 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 elprise of the paper were
everywhere recognized important factors in
determining the result and its status as the
leading Republican journal Of the Northwest
was fixed beyond dispute.
III view of these facts, it is only necessary to
say that The Inter Ocean will maintain this posi-
ton by continuing in the straight forward course
that has made it so many friends among Repub
lcans 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 American industry against the pauper
| labor and concentrated capital of the old world
and will be foremost in the fight OH any new
| questions that q
| party.
The Inter Ocean will discuss all public gues-
tons fairly and fearessly; it will give the news
| accurately and fully, supplementing 1t with in
| tel!igent and tairminded comment: it Will main
tain its high standard in State, Washington, and
! foreign correspondence, and will continue to
| devote 81 ecial attention to departments having
| reference to home affairs.
/ 1.-THE Curiosity Shop" "Woman's Kingdom, -
| and EARN and Home have grown better with

under the present able editor.
Believing that The Inter Ocean contributed
not little to Republican success in the last
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 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 journal
