THE NEW TORE WORLD. 
THE EMIT 01MDHI1 NEWSPAPERS. 
Total Circulation during 1886,* - 70,126,041 Copies. 
has a National reputation as an able, clean , bright newspaper. The Weekly Edition is 
the most popular family paper published west of the Alleghanies. Its subscribers 
reside in every State and Territory in the Union. The postage paid by THE INTER¬ 
OCEAN on.circulation last year amounted to $25,421.02. 
THE INTER-OCEAN is a Republican newspaper. The following is quoted, from 
j 
its prospectus: 
From the beginning THE INTER-OCEAN has stood firmly by the principles of the 
Republican party, and has, in season and out of season, contended for “protection to 
American industry.” It docs not agree with the idea that the mission of the Repub¬ 
lican party is finished; on the contrary, it believes that, purified by adversity, it will in the 
near future again rise to the higher planes of thought and action and be completely 
restored to the confidence of the American people. The most important agencies in 
accomplishing this result will be Republican journals. If a reliable, stanch Republi¬ 
can newspaper was important when the Republican party was in power, it is doubly 
so now that the Democracy control the National Government.

It is ably edited in every department, containing not only all the news of the

It is in its department for the family circle that THE WEEKLY INTER-OCEAN 
excels. Its stories and literature are the very best, and the departments under the 
head of “Woman’s Kingdom,” “Our Curiosity Shop,” and “The Farm and Home,” 
are, either of them, worth the price of a year’s subscription.

supplements. By special arrangements we are able to make the following offer:
