THE TRIBUNE is in the middle of its fifteenth
i year Vol. XIV, of its weekly issue commenced on
lst September last The American public need moi
made acquainted with its character claims to
consideration With but subordinate regard for pr
dence policy and popularity, it has aimed to stand for
for TRUTH for Humanity against fortified
Iniquty. Frsud and Oppression There is not slavetra
der on this Continent, though he may read any
tnow and hate THE TRIBUNE there Is not an extensive
fabricator of drugged poisonous Liquors who does
consider it very dangerous and immoral and
wonder why its publication is tolerated in commercial,
eotton-buying City like New York The Nerark Nercu
ry forciby remarked that had known h9rd
gripping, avarcious employer who not hostile TO The
Tribune emnently generous and kindly who did
like it, Prompt and plain spoken in its denuncation
of nquity and abuse OF power while claiming no exep-
ton from human fbilify, it have done temporary
injustice to individuals but it has been unfthful
10 Principle nor deal TO the cries OF the wronged and suf
feing In its columns the advocates of novel and unpop
woes especially those OF the Nolceess ana dowutrodden,
have found audience and hospitality while ii has
ardentiy resisted and viii Pesisteny combat every at
tempt prescribe and degrade class because diver
stiles of Nativity, Creed or Color.
In defiance of calumnie the most atrocous and of hos
tties the most deadly and untiring The TRIBUNE has
grown steadily in public appreciation from the day of its
origin Its means OF serving the public have been
mented in proportion. Instead of single editor with
two assistants its organization comprises
body of writer's each fitted by special accomplish
ment and experience for the particular line of discussion
to which his pen is devoted the daily of
issues; correspondents the
globe transmitting early and intelligent variations of
Legislation Literature Art, Historyin short whatever
affects the social wellbeing of mankind Poemc Theoo-

We believe no other newspaper in the world has sub
scrpon list over half so large this and periodical
of any sort rival it. And while its extreme ceapness
rendering increase IF paying readers only in
rect pecuDiary advantage to has doubtless largely
sweed its subscription asst it would be absurdity
perceive in this unprecedented patronage evidence
of public approval and esteem.

the Winter at Washington the representative of THE
TRIBUNE His letters will appear regularly in vari
