THE NEW YORK TRIBUNE.
1878.

VVHE TRIBUNE was first issued as Daily
Il on the 10th of April, l84l. Its Weekly
edition was commenced in September of the
same year; its Semi Weekly ia May, 1845. 1t
was tie frat daily in America to issue a
double or eight-page sheet at a low price, and
it has kept at least even with the foremost of
its rivals In the rapid expansion of Newspaper
enterprize, which the great extension of Rail-
roads, and the establishment of the Telegra ph
system have crowded into these last sixteen
egentful 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
ly, for intellectual labor. 1t employs CORES
pondents regularly in the leading capitals of
Europe, and at 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
perfecting its correspondence so fast as the
increase OF it's 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 q
heavy cost to ourselves, and, we trust, cor
responding advantage to Our readers, publish
each morning q synopsis of the preceding
days occurrences throughout Europe, North
ern Africa, and 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 throug hout the day preceding
and it seems hardly possible that any man
who can read, but especially one who has
children to educate viii 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
infrequent, a Semi eekly, 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
tellectual, Moral, Social and Physical well
being OF mankind, dogmatic Theology alone
excepted. Its leading idea is the honoring OF
honest, useful work in whatever sphere OF
| 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 Intemperance
in whatever form or degree with its acceSSo-
ries, to War, save in the defense of Country
and Liberty against actual invasion, and tc
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
diverSfying Home Industry by discrmina-
ting Tariff-a policy which tends to increase
the price of Grain to the farmer while dimin-
| ishing that of Bread to the artisan, by redu.
cling the distance across which their respective
products are exchanged, and, of course, redu.
cling the cost of their transfer. Regarding
Filibusterism in all its phases, and every form
and device of National c0vetousness, with un.
qualified adherence, as the bane Of Republics
and in their triumph the grave of Equa
Human Rights we seek by every means tC
WOO and win the attention of our countrymer
from projects of aggrandizementa abroad to en-.
terpFlAes of development and benefcence a
home, foremost among which we rank a Rail
road through the heart of our territory TO con
meet the waters of the Atlantic with those O
the Pacific. Believing that the goods of thii
life are not yet fairly distributed, and that nj
one ready to work should ever famish in un.
willing idleness, it lends an open ear to ever,
suggestion of Social improvement which doe
not countervail the dictates of eternal Moralit,
nor war upon that natural right of every one
/ to whatsoever he has fairly produced or hon
estly acquired whose denial must sink man
| kind into the chaos and night Of barbarisu
and universal squalor. With profound con
sciouSness that idlers, drunkards, hbertine
