PROSPECTUS
1882. The ObG-DemOCrat. 1882,

In its prospectus for 1881 thu GLOBE DEM
oCREr announced with pride and satisfaction
the election OF Gen. Garfield and the belief
that his administration would be so wisely
ceunseled and 50 well conducted that 1t would
give new lease OF power to 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
the threshold Of the Presidential office, in the
prime and vigor of manhood. with future
full of honorable promise to himself and his
country. The high trust which the people
had reposed in him was dropped by the palsi-
ed hand of death when but small part of tho
great work upon which he 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 it. He was almost
ton for Vice President, and his name and Ell
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 ne enters upon the duties of mis- office
determined to discharge them honestly and
conscientiously. The GLoBE-DEMoCRAT pledg-
es him it cordial support III every good word
Ncan party. We hope and believe that under
his prudent and skillfui leadership the evil
spirit OF faction will disappear from the ranks
Of the party, and that unity and harmony will
prevail in all its counsels. This end once Sc
cnred 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-DEMoCRAT has no new declara-
ton of principles to announce. 1t can fairly
ask judgment as to the future from the record
of the 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 1t; well regulated tariff,
giving projection without encouraging mo
nopoly, and a 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
diyidcd-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 especially the State
of Missouri. AmOns 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-irs fine climate, its fertile, soil, aud its
great mineral resources. Everything is good
here except political domination. Bourbon
Democracy is the foe of immigration in Mis-
souri,, as il 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 bOr!-
ers than can be accomplished in any other
way or through any other agency. The
heaven is VOL king, and We have faith In its
success within few years. In the meantime
we shall not forget that while RepublicaDism
is q help to immigration, immigration 10 also
a help TO Republcsnism. 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.

hold the pre-eminenca which it has already
gained. 1t will present in all it's editions
