THE WEEKLY TRIBUNE commences its
| XIVth annual volume with the month of Sep
tember-commenees it with circulation (II5,-
OOO) larger than was ever before accorded to
any general newspaper whatever. This clrcu-
lation has been gradually and laboriously at
tanned by concentrating upon THE TRIBUNE
the best efforts of many editors and correspon-
dents and by a greater liberality Of outlay in
| each department than was probably ever be-
fore risked on any journal. 1t has been attain
ed, not by sailing smoothly in thecurrent of
| Opinion before the wind and baslling in the
smiles of majorities, but by an earnest, fearless
devotion to Truth and Progress as above all
partisan exigencies, all temporary interests,
all momentary Illusions of popularity and sue.
cess. Its thorough advocacy of Temperance
and Liquor Prohibition, of Justice to the des-
pissed and down-trodden, and of the equal aud
inalienable Rights of the Human Race, irres-
pectlve of Sex or Creed or Color, have from
time to time repelled many sunshine friends,
whose prejudlces or seeming interests were
thereby contraSened, but hsve combined to form
character which it will endeavor to maintain
and assign it position among journals which
we feel that it will be henceforth success not
to impair
The leading ideas to which TIE TRIBUNE
is devoted may be bri, fly set forth as follows:
l. FREEDOM to whatever is essentially right
--not alone for white Americans, or Anglo
SaXons, or CauCasians even-not iorone Race
to determine whether they will or will not hold
another Race i'll abject bondage--but for every
Race and Nation, and every adult rational hu-
man being. This Freedom is rlghtlully absc-
lutte in the broad domain of Opinion, and invol-
yes the equal and imperative right to Political
Franchise; =. ORDER, or the necessary right
of the lie gal Indicated majority to interuict in
| the sphere of Action all the practices which it
deems demoralizing, therefore prejudicial to
the common veal: BENEFICENcE, or the wisdom
and policy of employing the resources and credit
| OF the community to accomplish works of gen.
eral and unquestioned utility to which indIvid
ual means are Inadequate or which, though
eminently conducive to the public good, do not
promise to reimburse by their direct income
the outlay required for their construction; L.
INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT, as the corner stone
of a true and bcnignant National Policy, count
ing the naturalization of new and valuable
art 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; ). PEACE
as a vital condition oftrue Progress. to be cher
lshed by the most anxious, asSiduous study to
proifcr 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-
ty. Such are the chief landmarks by which
THE TRIBUNE directs it's course.
But small portion of THE TRIBUNE is al
lOtted to what is currently distinguished a,
light reading ; but Reviews of New Books o.
decided interest, with choice extracts illustra
ting their quality, are freely given, while tho
great body OF our paper is devoted to luciC
and careful dige~t of the News of the Day
with Ecd!toral comments thereon. We hav,
reliable correspondents in each quarter of the
globe, and in nearly all the principal cities o
Europe and America, and their letters will aiC
our readers to u clearer understanding Of tn,
causes which are gradually converting the Oh
, World into one gigantic arena for the death
struggle OF rival interests, passions and ambl
tlons
TIE TRIBUNE contains reliable reports O
the Markets. Our Cattle Market reports alon
are worth more than the price OF the paper /
: those who are engaged in raising and selling
Cattle.

TIE TRIBUNE is realized the largest varic
