THE WEEKLY TRIBUNE commences its
! ixtFth annual volume with the month of Sep
9 otember--commences it with circulation (Il5,-
b0oO1 larger than was ever before accorded 10
ssny general newspaper whatever. This circu-
tttion has been gradually and laboriously at
atainad by concentrating upon THE TRIBUNE |
othe best efforts of many editors and correspon-
Sdeats and by greater lberaity of outlay in
each department than was probably ever be-
fSrs risked on any journal. 1t has been attain.
ed not by sailing smoothly in thecurrent of
Opinlon before the wind and basking in the |
snies OF maJorlties, but by an earnest, fearless |
.,deyotion TO Truth and Progress as above all |
PARTISAN exIgenciss, all temporary interests, |
Nsll momentary Illusions of popularity and sue. |
cess Its thorough advocacy of Temperance |
and Liquor Prohibition, of Justice to the des- |
pised aud down-troIden, and of the equal and
mallenaole Rights OF the Human Race, rres- |
peetlve OF Sex or Creed or Color, have from
time to time repelled many sunshine friends, |
whose ,preJudlces or seeming interests were
thereby contruvened, but hsve combined to form
"a character which it will endeavor to maintain
and assign it position among journals which
NE feel that it will be henceforth a success not
". to impair.
"a The leading ideas to which THE TRIBUNE
Is isdevOted may be bris fly set forth as follows
l., FREEDOM to whatever is essentially right
hot alone for white Americans, or Anglo
-Saxons, or Caucasans even-not for one Race
Ito determine whether they will or will not hold
another Race in abject bondage--but for every
a Rice and Nation, and every adult rational hu-
man being. This Freedom is rightfully abso-
lutte IN the broad domain of Opinion, and invol-
YES the equal and imperative right to Political
Franchise; 2. ORDER, or the necessary right
sf the IqQaI lndlCa tod MAJ iority fo -.
the sphere of Action all the practices which it
deems demoralizing. therefore prejudicial to
the common veal BENEFICENcE, or the wisdom
aud policy Of employing the resources and credit
or the community to accomplish works of gen.
eral and unquestioned utility to which indivi.-
ual means are Inadequate or which, though
erninently conducive to the public good, do not
promise to reimburse by their direct income
the outlay required for their construction; H.
INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT, as the cornerstone
Ofa true aud bengnant National Policy, count
ing the naturalization of new and valuable
Aart or product of the soil as more important than
the acquisition of fresh province or island,
and equally within the legitimate sphere of
National concern and National effort; 5. PEACE
as vital condition OF true Progress. to be cher
lshed by the most anxious, assiduous study to
Proifer as readily as We are prone to require
redress for every wrong, as never to be surren-
dered except at the call of endangered Liber-
~. Such are the chief landmarks by which
TIE TRIBUNE directs its course.
But small portion of THE TRIBUNE is al
lotted to what is currently distinguished as
light reading; but Reviews of New Books OF
decided interest, with choice extracts illustra-
ting their quality, are freely given, while the
great body of our paper ls devoted to lucid
and Careful digest of the News of the hay,
with EHdltOrIAl cOmmpnfs tharpon Na hny
.rI.able correspondents in each quarter of the
globe, and IN nearly all the principal cities o.
Europe aud America, and their letters will aiC
our readers to clearer understanding of the
causes which are gradually converting the Ole
World INTO one gigantic arena for the death
struggle OF rival interests, passions and ambl
tIUns.
THE TRIBUNE contains reliable reports O
the Markets. Our Cattle Market reports alon,
arc worth more than the price of the paper Il
those who are engaged in raising and selling
Cattle.
No paper involving so great an expense a
our Weekly and Semi W eekly could be ofer
ed at the price of these sheets except in col
nectiOn with Daily, nor could our Daily b
sustained at its price without the aid of ou
'COsntry editions. Large as our circulation il
1t would involve IN ruinous loss but for tn
receipts for Advertising. We believe that
THE TRIBUNE is realized the largest var'
ty aid extent of solid information cOncernin
tie events OF the day which has been or Gu
b.. combined with extreme cheapness; and
that faith we commend it to the favorable r
gard of the reading public. We offer no pr
i,iums for subscribers, tempt none TO take it
gambling prospects of winning farms ina
sions in lottery in which tickets are furnis
ed TO its patrons, employ no travelling agen
10 mpOrtune people into .aking it, and wa
none of our room in dunning our subscribe
fur pay.
