The Washington Post
FOR 1888.
Published every day In The year ut The
Post Building, Pennsylvania Ave.
STILsON HUTCHINS, Proprietor.
WALTER STlLSON HUTCHINS, Editor.

Tie Post is now the leading newspaper at the
National Capital and the only morning journal
worthy Of the name. 1t is an organ of conserva-
tive public sentiment, an earnest and Industrious
advocate of every form OF material progress a
careful and discriminating critic of the affairs of
state and withal complete compendium of the
important happenings of the day. AS a hewF-
paper pure and simple 1t has never been equaled
in Washington.
1t is Democratic in all things, 1t believes in
the principles of the party which is represented
in the Administration OF President Cleveland
and during the year to come 1t will give that Ad-
mnistration its earnest, fixed and flrm support
In the event of Mr.. Cleveland's denomination by
the Democracy 1t will advocate his reelection
with all its might.
and it does not assume either to speak for or to
dictate to the party in power. Its conviction
that the country is safest in Democratic hands is
the result of its strong belief in the principles
laid down at the foundation of the Government
by Thomas Jefferson, and continued TO this day
by Jackson. Tlden, and Cleveland. When DEM
ocratc leaders in Congress or in the country at
largo depart from the path which lies straight
before them, The Post will not fail to repudiate
them and all their works beside.
The great controlling issue of the Presidential
contest OF 1883 is the reduction OF the Treasury
surplus through prompt and complete REVISION
of tariff duties. the Government is collecting
yearly from the people one hundred millions of
dollars more than it needs or can use in any ln-
Ultimate way. THIS money must be relinquishCd
to the people and the revenue laws which stand
in the way lnGst he in large measure revised aui
repealed, 7 effect this reform is the sacr,
duty OF the party which now controls the Hou -
OF Representatives. 1t Is a task which can neitl-
er be evaded nor ignored.
The Democratic party has it in its power .
score It's greatest victory in the November ele ,
tons OF Ne new year. Its record is stainless AMI
its policy is statesmanlike, patriotic and thoi-
oughly American. But it must be true to its. .
and true to the principles which it has inherited
with its name.
1t is The POSTS ambition to help this promise ,
Its fuliillment, and good Democrats everywhere
should help u.s. Now is the time to subscribe
