THE NEW-YORK TRIBUNE.
l857.8 /


TNHE TRIBUNE was first issued as Daily
D on the 10th Of April, 1911, Its Weekly g.
dition was commenced in September Of the same
year; its Semi. Weekly in May, l645. 1t was
the first daily in America to issue double or
eight'page sheet at low price, and 1t has kept
at least even with the foremost Of Of its rivals
in the rapid expansion of Newspaper enterprise
with the great extension Of Railroads, 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 matterat what price issued, pays an equal
amount, weekly or monthly, for intellectual la
bor. 1t employs correspondents regularly in
the leading capitals of Europe, and at the most
important points on this continent, with lib
eraI staff Of writers and reporters at home re-
garding full early and accurate information as
he first object of Newspaper, and the timely
and thorough elucidation thereof as the chef
end Of its Editorials. In that spirit THE TRlB.
UNE has been and will be conducted extend
ing and peyiecting its correspondence so fast as
the increase Of its patronage will Justify the ex-
pense. Should the current attempt to connect
the Old with the New world by the magnetic
wire prove successful, we shall very soon at
heavy cost to ourselves and, we trust; cores
pOnding advantage to our readers publish each
morning a synopsis of the preceding days oc-
currenCe throughout Europe, Northern Africa
Western Asia, with regular reports of the mar
kcts, the mUmentary aspects and harvosts pros.
poets of hither Europe. with a good atlas beside
him and his daily paper on his tireside table
the American farmer or artisan within day S
ride Of the city may then study each evening
the doings of the civilized world throughout the
day preceding; and it seems hardly possible
that any who can read, but ESPECIALLY one who
has children to educate, will longer deny him
self the pleasure and profit of a daily journal
Tie saine Is true measunbly of those who live
further inland; though where mails are infre.
quent, Semi-WcckIy or even Weekly paper
may seem sufficient.
THE TRIBUNE deals with questions of Pc
litinal Economy Public Policy Ethics, Material
Progres and whatever may effect the Intellect
ua Moral Social end Physical well being ol
mankind, dOgmatic Theology alone excepted.
Its leading idea is the hono.ng Of honest use
full Work in whatever sphere or capacity, and
the consequent elevation of the Laboring Glass
in knowledge, virtue and general estimation. 1t
is necessarily hostile to Slavery under all its as
poets, to Temperance in whatever form or de-
gree with its accessories, to War save il The de.
fensc Of Country and Liberty against actual in =
vasion and to every form of Gambling. Desir-
ing to see Production extended and encoura ged
while wild Speculation and useless Traffic are
cunaileG, it lavors the policy Of sustaining and
dyersitying Home INDUSTRY by diScrimina-
ting Tarrh-a policy which tends to increase
the price of Gram to the farmer while diminish
ing that Of Bread to the artcsian, by reducing
the distance across which their respective pro.
ducts arc exchanged and, of course, reducing
the cost OF their transfer. Regarding Flibust-
ersm in all its phases and every form and de-
vice oil National COyetOusness, with unqualified
abhorance as the bane of Republics and III their
