ALWAYS IN ADVANCE.

THE WEEKLY TRIBUNE commences its
XIVth annual volume with the month of Sep
tember-cOmmence it with circulation (ll5,-
oOO0 larger than was ever before accorded to
any general newspaper whatever. This circu-
latlon has been gradually and laboriously at
tanned by concentrating upon THE TRIBUNE
the best efforts of many editors and correspon-
dents and by 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 basking in the
smiles of majorlties, but by an earnest, fearless
devotion to Truth and Progress as above all
partisan exigencles, 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 and
lnalienable Rights of the Human Race, rres-
pectlve of Sex or Greed or Color, have from
time to time repelled many sunshine friends,
whose prejudiceS or seeming interests were
thereby contravened, but hSve combined to form
character which it will endeavor to maintain
and assign it a position among journals which
we feel that it will be hencetorth success not
to impair.
The leading ideas to which THE 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 for one Race
to determine whether they will or will not hold
another Race in abject bondage--but for every
Race and Nation, and every adult rational hu-
man being. This Freedom is rlghttully abso-
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 legal Indicated ina jorlty to lntcrdIct IN
the sphere of Action all the practices which 1t
deems demOrallzlng, therefore preJudlclal to
the common veal: BENEFICENCE, or the wisdom
and policy of employing the resources and credit
OF the community TO accomplish works OF gem
eral and unquestloned utility to which lndlvld-
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; 4.
INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT, as the corner stone
of Il true aud bengnant National Policy, count
ing the naturalization of a 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

proffer as readily as we are prone to require
redress for every wrong, never to be surren-
dered except at the call of endangered l.ber-
ty. Such are the chief landmarks by which
THE 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 llustra-
ting their quality, are freely given, while the
great body of our paper is devoted to a lucid
and careful digest of the News of the Day.

causes which are gradually converting the Ola
World into one gigantic arena for the death

THE TRIBUNE contains reliable reports Of
the Markets. Our Cattle Market reports alone
are worth more than the price of the paper to
those who are engaged III raising and selling

our Weekly and Semi W eekly could be otcr-
