The Inter Ocean For 1884,
Daily, Semi-We ekly, and Weekly.

In presenting the prospectus ofThe Inter Ocean
for the year 1881, it is scarcely necessary to re-
mind the people ofthe Northwest that the paper

eminent as an exponent of stalwart Republican
ism, and in advance of all others i'll promulgat-
ing that system of political ethics which has as
its foundation the idea of humanity in politics

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 tbegan the fight for the rights of the c1t
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
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.in the straightforward 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.

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,

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 may be sprung on the Republican
party.

lions fairly and fearlessy; it will give the news
