letting any one roam idle and hungry who il willing 4
labor and anxious to his subsistence rather thai
beg steal tha there is in the order of Providence
Work and just Recompense for all-and that it is tn
duty and true interest of the wise, powerful and thrifty
(in other words, OF the Sate) to devise and alop
measures calculated to secure Opportunity t. Llbo
and fair Reward for such Labor to every hunal
being That TO each child (and not to children only
should be secured Opportunity for physical and mena
culture aud development including Industrial training
followed of course These convictions with their ne
cessary deductions not hastily lightly adopted
they have from time to time been commended to ouI
readers and they have not been surrendered Let no
mistake on this point
The one Ism of The TRIBUNE, which evolves and in
cudes all others, is firm, abiding conviction that
benign and omnpotent God created and placed on this
earth It's Human inhabitants for Concord not DiscOrd
moderate and general Industry not chaos of Drudgery
and Incidence; moderate and reasonable Abundance,
not wasteful Luxury interviewed with agonizng Want
We believe the seeming indifference and conflict which
now generally prevail phenomenal, superficial aud
transtOry. and that Divine Order of Society. which
shall suppiant and eiace the preceding anarchy will
yet be established wherein there shall be Education and
Development, Opportunities and Duties Employment
and Reward Position and Usefulness guaranteed to each
member of the family of Man.
Whether this Divine Order be viewed Religiously as
the Millennium, Socially the Organization of In
dustry, or Politically the logical contamination of
the Republican theory, does not Gem to US fit topic
OF contention What we anticipate and live for is the
establishment and rule of Universal Justice based on
Science and made practical by Love Its spirit and
sence find most effectively consistently exempifed
and commended in the Life and Teachings of Christ;
while Cor its mechanism and processes we ini impor
tan and useful suggestions in the writings Of many es-
saysts who of Social Science from Plato to Louis
Blanc. As the most methodical and mathematical of
these we esteem CHARLES FOURIER, whose Industrial
Association is the best contribution yet made 70 a
knowledge of the laws and mechanism of true Society
But We call no master end reject fancful, or
arbitrary or contrary To sound Christian morality,
many Of Fourers speculatons do those of other
writers on Social Science.
Now the reader who comprebends THE TRIBUSEs
one Ism of Social and Universal Justice, knows just
where 70 place us all the questions which have d.
yided the country within the last dozen years. That
should favor the widest practicable Investigation
and most consummate perfection of Home Industry
Industry only but that Of each and every
try by and for itself through the naturalization and
support in each of new and foreign artisans rather
than the continued importation of foreign fabrics
that should study the things that make for Peace
and resist to the utmost limit of constitutional right
such National crimes our Governments bloody oray
on Mexico-that should oppose the whole policy of
buying stealing foreign provinces and plead for the
Improvement and perfection Of domestic
instead of the absorption of our neighbors-that We
- s.s II
any such afronts TO the noontide of the Nineteenth
Century as our new Fugitive Slave Law-that We should
war against Intemperance and advocate the Prohibition
LquOr-seliDg-thatwe should oppose Land Monopoly,
sympathse with its victims in spite of their cups-
be Ourages and plead for Land Limitation and for the
conservation of our Public Lands the Free Homes of
future settlers-a these flow directly and inevitably
from our fundamental and radical convictions. Until
they change our views of the current topics are not
likely 70 undergo much mutation. Others may advo-
cate and oppose the same measures for reasons very
different from but can only act according TO
the light vOucbsafed TO us.
Now as to those who plead in our behalf that what was
most obnoxious in The Tribune of former years not
nearly prominent and offensive in the paper of 1853
We certainly not likely TO reerate remarks of
years ago, nor reafirm positions which is
conrovertng. We purpose, leaving the things that
behind, to 70 unto perfection We do not care even
to revive the Tariff controversy if antagonists there
in will unite with in urging forward the great Pacific
Railroad since we believe many branches of our Manu-
features already sody establishments to need no other
Protection than such the merest Revenue duy will az
ford aud look to that Railroad to do more for American
Manufactures than any Tariff has done could now do
in widening their market and making the L. States in
stead u Great Britain the commercial center of the
world But the principles have avowed have undergone
essential change, though look for their earlier
riumphs to their gradual and partial rather than d.
rect and thorough recognition by the mass of
mankind. We owed these explanations to the public
have made them that no one shall have reason TO
complain that he misled into taking The Tribune
through any misrepresentation or conniyance on lis
part.
