THE NEW YORK TRIBUNE.
1878,

FEIHE TRIBUNE was first issued as Daily
Il on the 10th OF April, 1871. Its Weekly
edition was commenced III September of the
same year; its Seni-Weekly i'll May, 1915. 1t
was tie first daily in America to issue
double or eight-page sheet at low price, and
it has kept at least even with the foremost OF
its rivals in the rapid expansion Of Newspaper
enterprise, which the great extension of Rail-
roads, and the establishment Of the Telegraph
system have crowded into these last sixteen
eventful years. No larger journal is afforded
at SO low price in any quarter Of the world
none in America, no matter at what price is
sued, pays an equal amount weekly or month
lv, for intellectual labor. 1t employs CORES
pondents regularly in the leading capitals of
Europe, and ut the most important points on
this continent, with liberal staff OF writers
and reporters at home regarding full, early
and accurate information as the first object Of
a Newspaper and the timely and thorough
elucidation thereof as the chief end OF its Edi
torialS. In that spirit THE TRIBUNE has
been and will be conducted extending and
pcrfeGting its correspondence 50 fast as the
increase of its patronage will justify the ex-
pcnse. Should The current attempt to connect
the Old with the New World by the magnetic
wire prove successful we shall very soon, st Il
heavy cost To ourselves, and, We trust, cor
responding advantage to OEr readers, publish
each morning a synopsis of the preceding
day occurrences throughout Europe, North
ern Africa, aud Western Asia, with regular
reports Of the markets, the monetary aspects
and harvest prospects OF hither Europe, With
good atlas beside him, and his daily paper
on his firesde table, the American farmer or
artisan within days ride of the city may
then study each evening the doings Of the
civilized world throughout the day preceding; {;
and IL seems hardly possible that any man
who can read, but especially one who has
children to educate will longer deny himself
the pleasure and profit of daily journal.
The same is true measurably OF those who
live further inland; though, where mails are
infreqEent, a Semi eelly, or even a Weekly
paper, may seem sufficient.
THE TRIBUNE deals with questions Of Po-
litical Economy, Public Policy, Ethics, Mate
ria Progress, and whatever may affect the In
tellcctual, Moral, Social aud Physical well
being of mankind, dogmatic Theology alone
excepted. Its leading idea is the honoring Of
honest, useful work in whatever sphere or
capacity, and the consequent elevation of the
Laboring Glass in knowledge, virtue and gen
eral esteem. 1t is necessarily hostile to
Slavery under all its aspects, to lntemperance
in whatever form or degree with its accesso-
rlcS, to War, save III the defense Of Country
and Liberty against actual invasion, and to
every form Of Gambling. Desiring TO see
Production extended and encouraged, while
wild Speculation and useless Traffic are cur
tailed it favors the policy of sustaining and
diversifying Home Industry by u discrimina-
ting Taritf'--a policy which tends to increase
the price of Grain to the farmer while dimin-

products are exchanged, and, of course, redu-

Filibusterism in all its phases, and every form
and device of National covetousness, with un-
qualified abhorrence, as the bane of Republics
and in their triumph the grave of Equal

WOO and win the attention of our countrymcn

terprizes of development and henefccnce at

meet the waters of the Atlantic with those of
! the Pacific Believing that the goods of this
! life are not yet fairly distributed, and that no
one ready to work should ever famish in un-
willing idleness, it lends an open ear TO every
suggestion of Social Improvement which does
| not counterval the dictates of eternal Morality
nor war upon that natural right of every one
to whatsoever he has fairly produced or hon
estty acquired, whose denial must sink man
Kind into the chaos and night of barbarism
and universal squalor. With profound con-

and proflgates can never be other Tin the

the great truth that Prevention is better than
Punishment--that the child trained np in the
