u TRIBUNE is now in the middle Of its if
teen year Vol. XIV. Of its weekly issue common.
ced on the lstof September last. Tho American
public need not now be made acquainted with its
character or claims to consideration. With but a
subordinate regard for prudence, policy or popular
ity, it has aimed to stand for Righteousness, for
Truth, for Humanity, against fortified Iniquity,
Fraud and Oppression. There is not a slave trader
on this Continent, though he never read anything
but his bills of sale md notes-payable, who docs
not know and hate TIE there is not
an extensive fabricator Of drugged and poisonous
Liquors who does not consider it n very dangerous
AMI immoral paper, and wonder why its publication
is tolerated in a commercial, cotton-buying City
like Ncw-lork. The Newark Mercury once forci.
bly, romare cd that it had never known a hard, grip
ing, scrcwine, avariciods employer who was not
hostile to II TRIBUNE, nor one cmincntly gem
erous and kindly who did not like it. Prompt and
plain-spoken in its denunciations of iniquity and
abuses of power, while claiming no exemption from
human f~allibilty, it may have done temporary in
justice to individuals, but it has never been uDfdith-
full to Principle, nor deaf to the cries of the wrong
cd and suffering. In its columns the advocates of
novel and unpopular theories contemplating the
meliOration of human woes, especially those of tho
voicelcss and down-troddcn, have ever found audi
ence and hospitality while it has ardently resist
ed and will persistently combat, every attempt to
prescribe and degrade any class because of diver.
stiles of Nativity, Creed, or Color.
In defiance of calumnies the most atrocious, and
of hostilities the most deadly and untiring, THE
RlBUNE has grown steadily in public appreci-
alton from the day of its origin. Its means of sorv-
ing the public have been augmented In proportion.
Instead of a single editor with one or two assist
ants, its organization now comprises a numerous
body of writer's, each fitted by special Accomplish
mcnt and experience for the particular line of dis
cussion to which his pen is devoted the daily
amount of reading matter given more than quadru-
pies that of its earliest issues ; a staf Of valued
correspondents encircles the globe, transmitting
early and intelligent variations of whatever is most
worthy of attention while Politics, Legislation,
Literature, Art. History-in short whatever affects
the social wellbeing of mankind, Polemic Theology
alone excepted finds hero the froest and most
searching discussion.
Attached by profound conviction to the b~enefcent
policy of Industrial development and Internal

pion through the last Half-Century was HENRY

beatence toward our weaker neighbors and toward
the much wronged Aborigines of this Continent
and of Peace with All which will hallow the name
OF WING, THE TRIBUNE, while surrcndering no
jot of its proper independence cooporated earnestly
and ardently with the Wing party so long as its
vitality was preserved. When in 1902 an at
tempt was made to interpolate slavc-hunting into
its creed, we sternly resisted that imposition; when,
at the close Of the last Presidential canvass, it was
seen that a large portion of the Wings preferred to
defeat their own party rather than allow its Anti
Slavery wing to share its triumph, even under a
