_ THE lIVTER.OCEAS. 1873. 185-4. THE LARGEST CIRCULATION IN THE NORTHWEST. TIIE INTER-OCEAN POH 1874. Established less than twb'years sinco as a representative Republican paper, pledged to maintain and defend 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, the shadow of which Is already casting itself upon the country, in the confident belief that its Iriends will need no other specific pledge for the future than has been given in its columns from day to day during the past eighteen months Since its first publication it lias maintained the po-' silion of THE LEADING REPUBLICAN NEWSPAPER IN TIIE NORTHWEST, to which it was assigned by universal assent in the excited canvass which resulted in the sedbnd and triumphant election of President Grant. THE EIS EMIES OF THE COUNTRY are vigilantly at work. Despite the overwhelming rebuke administered to them in 1872, tlie opposition arc skillfully massing their 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 the unpiocedented financial stringency as a pretext, and using as a hoodwink the deep feeling among the agricultural classes for het'er and cheaper inodes 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 becomo 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 lias suffered in the North. Tlie election of Allen in Ohio, tho triumph of Tammany in New York, and tlie few desultory successes which have come to of tlie West and Northwest, have inspired tlie rebels of 18fl with the hope that tlie day is dawning when tlie Lost Cause is to be voted into a victory they failed to achieve by means Of the bullet and Bayonet. Already R. M. T. Hunter, a former Senator from Virginia,;and a member of tlie Cabinet of Jeff Davis, has publish 'd his scheme for the virtual payment of Four Hundred Millions of Dollars for the Emancipated Slaves of the South, Tho Richmond iVa.) Whig and Governor Gilbert Walker are urging thhfplan with alt pertinacity; and tliero can he little doubt that a large party of Southern Representatives in tho Forty-thiid Congress will he prepared to advocate llio payment of this money by tlie General Government. The past history of tlie Democratic party gives no warrant that It will oppose tliis infamous robbery of tlie people ol the North for the benefit of traitors: I but if the uar»v is true to itself and ils instincts the South will find it and its representatives a subservient ally. THE PAYMENT OF THE REBEL DEBT is another scheme that is broadly hinted at in i many parts of the South, and is, without doubt, one of the projects to which the lead- ! iirg Democrats of that section would address I themselves if the time should crftr come will-11 a majority of the Northern Slates and ! (lm'General Government should be in the i bauds id tlie party which helped tho rebels in their svoi-k-ef destroying tlie Uniou. I These are not fanciful issues. They aro j real dangers, either to he met face to faeeyor else to be-squelched in their inception by tlie continued successes of that organization which crushed the rebellion, gave freedom to the slaves, and destroyed the slave-holding ■ Confederacy. THE FARMERS know that the In.teu-Ocf.an was their carli--1 est, as it lias been their staunchest and | warmest, friend. It is emphatically tlie organ of tlie people in tlie best sense of tlie term, believing in the fullest ' protection of tlie rigiitß of the many against ■ the 'encroachments of tho few. it believes I that.all chartered corporations should he held | to be subservient to tho power Unit creuttd them, and without an infringement of the [ just lights of otliers it insists, and will con- ! tinue to insist, that all corporations enjoying I special privileges voted to them by the people 1 shall serve tlie people fairty and jnstly. ut a compensation allowing a reasonable profit upon tlie actual capital employed.
