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 ofthe 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 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 it 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 it began the fight for the rights of the clti
zen or its work in the interests of the people, butt
is gratifying to know that the Republican party
hascome finally to stand squarey 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 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 continuingin 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
twill insist on party policy essentially stall
wart believing that the interests of all sections
and the welfare of all classes viii 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 on any new
no ON liCa
party.
The Inter Ocean will discuss all public ques-
tons fairly and fearlessly; it viii give the news
accurately and fully, supplementing 1t with in
telligent and fairminded 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.
'"The Curiosity Shop" "Woman's Kingdom"
and ''Farm 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.
lnthe department of fiction the best serials
have been secured 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 Northwest have
q direct interest.
The Weekly Inter Ocean will give the news of
each weak complete, preventing important mat
tiers in detail, and condensing MINOR news in
such 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
ed in connection with the weekly, the semi
weekly will continue its educational DEPARTMENT
under the present able editor
Believing thatsThe Inter Ocean contributed
not little to Republican success in the last cam
paign, the proprietors have no hesitation in ask
ing the stalWarts of the country to aid them in
widening its field of infiue. ice. The wholesome
ness and effectiveness of the influence of such
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 q journal
published in the country.
