The Republican was established rs years ago
to publish the news fully, fairly, truthfuly, and
to sustain and extend democratic principles. 1t
is still faithful to its original high mission.
The Republican gives the news Of opinion as
well as of fact in broad and catholic spirit. 1t
presents all of1ts news in attractive, convenient
and interesting form. 1t carefully studies and
conscientiously serves the interests Of its read
erS.
The Republican firmly believes in the Ameri-
can principles OF government and society. 1t
does not doubt that through democracy are the
people to attain the largest practicable measure
or happiness and well-being; not alone the
people of the United States, but gradually, ulti-
mately all the peoples Of the earth. 1t opposed
to Imperialism and militarism, to the domination
OF wealth and aristocracy. 1t sees in the pur-
chase and conquest of the Philippine islands new
evidence of the unceasing effort OF incorporated
and syndicated wealth to conduct national AFFAIRS
in the selfish interest of class at the expense OF
| the great body of the people.
The Republican has profound faith that q
larger prosperity, greater power and wider in
fuence are to be attained for the United States
by strict adherence to traditional principles
| in the home government and in foreign relations
than by an imitation Of the policies and methods
| of the European monarchies. 1t believes in the
expansion OF our commerce everywhere, and OF
| our domain over continuous territory, by peace
full and natural processes. To the advancement
Of these ideas The Republican dedicates itself
anew in this time Of the republics peril from
misguided foes in its own household.
| The general features of The Republican are in.
teresting and valuable. Its editorial page is
strong, progressive and comprehensive. Liberal
attention is given to literature. The special
correspondence is Of a high character. The sun.
day Republican is especially rich in fiction, In
structive sketches, poetry, special articles and
miscellaneous reading of excellent quality. II
| is in effect f1rst-class weekly magazine as wei
as superior newspaper. The Weekly Republl
can Is an admirable news, political and family
paper combined. 1t is carefully edited and ar
ranged and furnishes the best editorials ant
general features from the Daily and Sunday
issues, with full review of the current news
1t is especially valuable for New Englanders al

stages. and that ts Catarrh. Halls Catarrh
Cure is the only positive cure known to the med

disease, requires constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Cure is taken internally, acting
directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces OF
