PROSPECTUS
1852. che GIBbe-D5nJsraI. 1867.


In It's prospectus OF 1881 the GLoBg-DRM
oCRIT announced with PRIDE anG satisfaction
the election OF Gen. Garfield and the beiel
that his administration would be so wisely
counseled and well conducted that IL would
give new lease OF power TO the party unoel
which the nation had grown free, strong and
prosperous. The vile hand OF an assassin
has since stricken down the good and gifted
man who, while We wrote year ago stood on
the Threshold of the Presidential office, In the
prime anu visor If manhood, with future
fGll Of honorable promise to himself anu his
countrs. The high trust which the people
had reposed III him Was dropped by the palsi
ed hand of death when ont small part OF ths
been accomplished. But to quote his own
memorable words whom the saddest of all
American tragedies was enacted, nearly seven.
teen years ago. "God reigns, and the Govern
ment at Washington still lives"
The mantle which Was voted to james A.
Garfield by the people falls upon Chester A.
Arthur under the Constitution of the United
States, and there is every reason to believe
that ne will wortnily wear IL. He was almost
the unanimous choice of the Chicago Conven-
ton for Vice President, aud his name and ei-
forts contributed perhaps more than else to
the success of tue Republican ticket I'm the
Safe of New York. He is man OF broad
views. fully informed on all public quastiyn>
and he enters upon the duties OF MS office
determined to discharge them honestly and
conscientiously. The GLOBE DEMOCRAT pledg
69 nlm IL CORDIAL support In every kOOU WOfO
and work for the country and for the Repub-
lican party. We hope and believe that under
his prudent and skillful leadership the evil
spirit OF faction will disappear FROM the ranhs
Of the party. and that unity and harmony will
prevail in all its cOunsels. This end once Sc
cured there can be no doubt of future success.
A large majority OF the people of this country
are Republicans in sentiment and sympathy,
and nothing but internal discord can imperil
Cur trump at the polls while the choice is be-
tween Republicanism and Democracy.
The GLoBE-DRMoORA1 has no new declara-
ton of principles to announce. 1t can fairly
ask Judgment a. to the future from the record
OF ths past. 1t stands firmly by the platform
Of the party on all national questions; believes
In the equal rights of all men in law and poll
tics; . sound currency with an honest silver
dollar for part Of It; we'll regulated tariff,
giving protection without encouraging me-
nopoiy, and q system of popular educstion so
liberal that ignorance and illiteracy shall be
inexcusable. These are the main questions
upon which the two great rarties are now
diyidsd-the Democrats oppose and the Repub-
Iicans affirm as to each of the propositions we
have named.
While fully approaching the magnitude of
national issues, the GLOBE DEMOCRAT will not
be unmindful OF the Importance of questions
which affect the West and especi lily he State
of Missouri. Among these is Immigration. |
We shall do all we possibly can to encourage
Europeans seekings home on this side OF the |
Atlantic to investigate the claims of this great
State-its fne climate, its fertile SOIL and its |
great mineral resources. Everything is good |
here except political domination. Bourbon |
Democracy is the foe of immigration in Mis- |
souri,, as it always has been in Kentucky and |
In other States. A Republican victory in the |
State would 10 more to encourage the best |
class Of immigrants to come within our bord.
ers than can be accomplished in any other
way or through any other agency. The
leaven is working, and We have faith In its
succ-ss within few years. In the meantime
we shall not forget that while Republicanism
Is q help to immigration, immigration is also
q help TO Republicsnism. The thrifty farmers
OF the Eastern States who move West in pur-
suit Of more land to meet the necessities Of
growing family are not Bourbon Democrats;
and the industrious foreigners who come here
for homes and fields will soon learn to choose
rightly between the two parties.
