I With a profound consciousness that

gates can never be other lin the main
than needy and wretched, it bears alofl
the great truth that Prevention is better
than Punishment--tha the child trained

woes of our race.
IRccognizing in the most degraded speci-

ON OF no class or caste, the devotee oil
no sect, we would fain be the Interpreter
to teach other of mems better impulses
and aspirations, the harbingcr of general
concord between Labor and Capital, and
among those whom circumstances or mis-
apprehensIons have thrown into unnatur-
al anita gonism.
A contemporary once observed that he
never knew hard grasping, nigarlly EN-
ployer who did not hate THE TRIBUNE,
nor generous, large souled, kindly one
willing to live and let live, who did not like
it. We ask no higher praiae, no warmer
testation
The circulation of THE TRIBUNE i,
at this time as follows: Daily $4,000 cop
les; Weekly, l76, 800 copies; Semi Week
ly, 5000 copies; California and Europe
an, 6, 900 copies, Total, e3o,8 copies.
That of the SemiW Weekly and Weekly we
believe to be exceeded by no other news
paper published in the world; that of the
Daily falls behind that some of our coem-
poraries. Had our hostility to Human
Slavery and the Liquor Traffic been more
guarded and polite, our Daily issues
would be some thousands heavier and our
Advertising far mora lucrative; but OF our
patronage generally we have no reason,
no wish, to complain.
Of late, concerted effort has been
made to diminish our rural circulation
through the influence of the Postmasters,
some of whom embark in it eagerly, 9th
ers under political constrant; while large
number, we are happy, for the sake Of
Human Natue, TO state, refuse to be dra-
gooned into it at all. Still, we have been
made to feel the heavy hand of Power,
and have doubtless lost thousands of sub
scrlbers in consequence. Pretexts to
which no individual in his private capaci-
ty would have stopped have been relied
on to justify the stoppage of our papers
within reach of their subscribers and
rightful owners, and their retention in the
Post Office till their value was DESTROYED
Postmasters have been sehooled by rival
| journals-seyerai of them living on their
self-proclaimed ability to serve as an an-
tidote to THE TRIBUNF--as to their DO
litical duty to promote at our expense the
dissemination Of gazettes of adverse pol
| itics.
We shall outliye this warfare, but we do
not affect Indifference to it. In the open
held of discussion, we fear nothing; but
in the tens of thousands of rural neigh
borhoods where the Postmaster can in
ducemany of his quiet neighbors to take
the journals be recommends, we have al
ready lost some patrons, and expect to
loose more as our subscription for This
year expires.
We appeal, therefore, TO the hearty faith
full, fearles advocates of Free Labor and
Free Soil throughout the land to take care
that this official warfare on our circulation
be not prosecuted without countcrac ion,
We employ no travelling agrn.s, for We
will not consent to have the pu blic harass-
ed with the solicitations of strangers il
our behalf. We strike the name OF each
subscriber to our Weekly or Semi Week
from our books SO soon as his term has
expired, for we will not haunt our patrons
with duns for arrears whrh they may say
they never intended to incur, fer papers
which perhaps they never read we rely
for the renewal Of our club subscriptions
solely on the volunteered efforts of those
who, liking our paper, believe its influence
salutary and worthy to be extended; and
thus far our reliance has been justified, as
we trust it may continue to be.
