New-York daily tribune. [volume] (New-York [N.Y.]) 1842-1866, 1852-04-10
A NEW VOLUME.

Eleven years ago this day, we issued the
first No of the New York DAILY TRIBUNE. Some five
hundred persons had previously agreed take the paper
of personal regard others for the sake OF hav
ing a cheap Wing Daily in our City We had very little
money and influential business connections but
had some experience in the Editorial vocation and
earnest desire to make good and useful an indepen-
dent and faithful journal Our first weeks receipts
were S92 against outlay of 1926 for expenses
now though expenses eight ten times
those of that week income abundanty meets them
We were encouraged to sart by promises of pecuniary
aid from certain Political brethren but had

preston that decidedly Partisan Newspapers are got up

reouired party aid to sustain it or can be
worth the cost.
We call The TRIBUNE party paper, because our
earnest and mature convictions accord to the Wing par
ty the credit of best experimenting the wants OF the
C,nv and best responding thereto in the system Of
Public Policy which il advocates and upholds We be-
leye the measures which it distincvey supports are
essential to the Nations due development and steady
prospery-shat Protection to Home Industry the Inn
provement of Rivers and Harbers, the maintenance OF
a sound and uniform Currency, are duties which the
General Government cannot disown and neglect without
serious detrment to the public veal We believe the
instincts Of this party favor Peace Industry, Thrift and
the rapid and benefcent Development Of Countrys
resources We believe that Of the two great parties the
Wing the more likely to be strong where God Is rev
erenced and grogshops scarce SO believing we
