ALH.3YS IN ADVANCE
THE WEEKLY TRIBUNE commences its XIVth
annual volume with the month Of Scptcmbcr--com-
tnonces it with n circulation Gl5OO0) larger than
ever before accorded to any general newspaper
whatever, This circulation has been gradually aud
lsboriously attained by concentrating upon TIE
TRIBUNE the best effort of many editors and
correspondents and by greater liberaty Of outlay
in each department than probably ever before
ri,ked any journal. 1t hn. been attained not by
tailing smoothly in the current of Opinion before
the wind and basking in the smiles Of maioritics,
but by an ernest, fearless devotion to Truth and
Progress n above all partisan cNgcncics, u tempo
rary interests, all mOnentary Illusions of POPULAR
iiy and success. Its thorough advocacy of Tempe
rance aad Liquor Prohibition, of Justice 10 the
dcspscd and down-trodden, and Of the equal and
inalienabe Rights of the Human Race, interpretive
Of sex or Creed or Color, have from time To time
repclIed many sunshine friends, whose prcjudices or
seeming interests thereby cOntruyened, but
have combined to form character which it will
endea to maintain and assign it position among
journals which feel that it will be hencefurth u

The leading idea, to which THE TRIBUNE is
devoted may be briefly set forth as follows

C1uc tsilns cyen-nut for one Race to determine
whether they will will not hold another Race in
object bpndagc--but for every Race and Nation,
and every admit rational human being. This Free

Opinion. and involves the equal and imperative

policy Of employing the resources and credit Of the
community TO accomplish works Of general and
unluestoned utility to which individual means are
inadequate or which, though cmincntly 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 true and benignant National
Policy, counting the naturalization Of a new and
valuable art or product of the soil import

call Of eulnn gered Liberty. such are the chief
landmarks By which TIE TRIBUNE directs its
course.
