PROSPECTUS
1882. The Globe Democrat. 1882.

In its prospectus Tor 1881 thu GLOBE-D DEM
OCRET announced with pride aud satisfaction
the election OF Gen. Garfield and the belief
that his administration would be so wisely
counseled aud well conducted that 1t would
give q new lease OF power 10 the party under
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 and vfgor of manhood, with a future
full of honorable promise to himself and his
country. The high trust which the people
had reposed il him was dropped by the pals
ed hand of death when but a small part of the
great work upon which lie had. entered had
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 he will worthily wear 1t. He was almost
the unanimous choice of the Chicago Conven-
ton for Vice President, and his name and ef-
forts contributed perhaps more than else to
the success of the Republican ticket in the
State of New York. He is man of broad
views. fully informed on all public questions,
and he enters upon the duties of his office
determined TO discharge them honestly aud
conscientiously. The GLoBE-DEMoCRAT pledg-
es him 1t cordial support In every good word
and work for the country and for the Repub-
lican party. We hope and believe that under
his prudent and skllliul leadership thu evil
spirit OF faction will disappSar from the ranks
Of the party, and that unity and harmony will
prevail in all its couusels. 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 lmperll
our trump at the polls while the choice is be-
tween Republicanisn and Democracy.
The GLOBE-DEMoCRAT has no new deciara-
tion of principles to announce. 1t can fairly
ask judgment as to the future from the record
81 rast.- Ii stands firmly By the platform
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 mo-
nopoiy, and system of popular education so
liberal that ignorance and illiteracy shall be
inexcusable. These are the main questions
upon which the two great parties are now
dlyid0d-the Democrats oppose and the Repub-
licans 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 especially The 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 fine climate, its fertile soil, aud its |
great mineral resources. Everything is good |
here except political domination. Bourbon |
souri,, as it Always has been In Kentucky and |
IN other States. A Republican victory in the
State would do 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 ether agency. The |
leaven is working, and we have faith in its
success within few years. In the meantime
we shall not forget that while Republicanism
Is help to immigration, immigration is also
a help 10 Republcanism. 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.
As newspaper the GLoBE-OEMoCRAT will
hold the pre- eminence which it has already
gained. 1t will present in all its editions a
full and faithful ecord Of current events. Its
facilities are unrivaled. No other newspaper
East or West has a laroer corps of active and {
intelligent correspondents In all sections Of |
the country and the world. We spare neither | {
energy ner expense in the collection of news,
as our Columns from day to day abundantly
