THE HTEH.<WBA.*. 1873. 187-A-THE LARGEST CIRCULATION IN THE NORTHWEST. ’ FOII 1874 b. Established less than two years since as a representative Republican paper, pledged to maintain and d- fend the principles and organization of the great National Republican party, the Inter-Ocean has attained a circulation and influence with the masses of its voters everywhere to entitle it to approach the commencement of a new calendar year and to prepare for the preliminary work of the next campaign, tbe shadow of which is already casting itself-upon the country, in the confident belief that its friends will need no other specific pledge for the f uluro than has been given in its columns from day to day during the past eighteen months Since Its-first publication it has maintained tho position of THE LEADING REPUBLICAN NEWSPAPER IN THE NORTHWEST. to which it was assigned bv universal assent, in the excited canvass which resulted in the second aud triumphant election of President Grant. • THE EF EMIES OF THE COUNTRY are vigilantly at work. Despite the overwhelming rebuke administered to them in 1872, tbe opposition are skillfully massing they- forces for a more determined onslaught upon the Republican organization at the next State and National elections. Encouraged by the apathy of Republicans in the “offyear,” seizing tho unpiecedented financial stringency as a pretext, and using as a hood wink the deep feeling among the agricultural classes for het'er and cheaper modes of transportation than now exist, THE DEMOCRACY, under as many names as there are hungry Demagogues eager for office. Is getting Itself into readiness to become once more the Ruling Party of the nation. 'IN THE SOUTH the old Democracy of Secession and Rebellion is being warmed into life by the apparent reverses Republicanism has suffered in tlie North.' The eiecHoir of A ileli inOhio, the triumph of Tammany in New York, and the' few desultory successes which have come to Anti-Republican tickets in various portions of the Wrst and Northwest, have inspired the rebels of 18fl with the hope that the day Is dawning when the Lost Cause is to be voted into a victory they failed to achieve by means of the bullet and bayonet. Alreaoy R. M. T. Hunter, a former Senator from Virginia, J and a member of the Cabinet of Jeff Davis, has publish d his scheme tor the Virtual payment of Four Hundred Millions of Dollars for the Emancipated Slaves of the South. The Richmond ,Va.) Whig aiid Governor Gilbert VValk.T uie urging tliis # plaii with all pertinacity; and there cun be little doubt that a large party of Southern Representatives in the Foity-thiid Congress will be prepared to advocate the payment of this money by the General Government. The past history oi the Democratic party gives no warrant that it will infamous robbery of the people of the North for the benefit of traitors: - but if the party is true to itself and its instincts the South will fiud it and its representatives a subservient ally. THE PAYMENT OF THE REBEL DEBT is another scheme that is broadly hinted at in many parts of the South, and is, without doubt, one of the projects to which the leading Democrats of that section would address themselves <f the time should ever come when a majority of the Northern Slates and the General Government should be in the bauds of the party which helped the rebels ill Their work of destroying the Union. These are not fanciful issues. They are real dangers, either to be mat (ace to face, or else tote squelched in their inception by the continued successes of tlrut organization which crushed the rebellion, gave freedom to the slaves, aud destroyed the slave-holding Confederacy. ' • THE FARMERS know that the Lnter-Ocmn was their earliest, as it has been their staunchest and warmest, friend. It is emphatically the oigan of the people in the best sense of the term, believing in the fullest protection of the rights of the manv against the encroachments of the few. It believes that all chartered corporations should be held to be subservient lo übe power that created them L aud-Without stu infriufemeiiL of the just rights oi others it insists, and will continue to insist, that all corporations enjoying special privileges voted to them by the people shall serve the people fairly aud justly, at a compensation allowing a reasonable profit upon the actual capital employed.
