It was the first daily in America to issue dou-
bic or eight-page sheet at low price, and il has
kept at least even with the foremost Of its riVas
in the rapid expansion Of Newspaper enterprise,
which the great extension Of Railroads, and the
establishment Of the Telegraph syssen have
crowded into these last sixteen eventful years.
No larSer journals afforded at so low price IN
any quarter Of the world; none in America, no
matter at wSst price Issued, PAYS an equal
amount, weekly or monthly. for intellectual Ia
Dor. Il employs correspondents regularly in the
leading capitals of Eusope, and at the most in
portant points on this continent, with liberal
stat Of writer's and reporters at home, regarding
full, early and accurate information as the frat
object Of a Newspaper, and the timely and
thorough calculation thereof as the chief end Of
its Editorials. IN that spirit. the Tribune has
been and WI be conducted, extending aRd per-
feoting its cores andence 80 fast As the increase
Of its patronage will Justify the expense. Should
the current attempt to connect the Old with the
New World By the magnetic Sirc prove success

THE TRIBUNE deals with questions Of Pc,

Progress, and whatever NAV affect the Intellsc.
tual, Moral, Social and Physical Eell-beinR Of
mankind, dogmatic Theology alone excepted.
It's leading idea is the honoring Of honest, useful
Work in whatever gphere or capacity, and the
consequent elevation Of the Iaborine Claas in

to see Production extended and encouraged,
while wild Speculation and useless TraHic are
curtailed. IL favors the policy Of sustaining and
diversifying Home Industry by discriminating
Tariff policy which tends to increase the
price Of Grain to the farmer, while diminishing
that Of Bread TO the artisan, By reducing The dis
lance across which their respective produets are
exchanged, and, of course, reducing the cost Of
their transfer. Regarding Fillibusterism in all
its phases, and every form and device Of Ma
tional covetousness, with unqualified adherence
as the bane Of Republics, and in their triumph
the grave Of Equal Human Rights, we seek By
every means TO WOO and win the attention Of our
countrymen from projects Of sggrandiEement

The circulation of the Tribune is at this time
as follows: Daily, $4,000 copies; Weekly,
176, 800 copies; Semi-Weekly, 10000 COP
res; California and European, 5000 copies;
Total. e30,s0O copies That Of the Semi

BY no other newspaper published in the world;

our contemporaries. Had our hostility TO Human
Slavery and the Liquor Traffic been more guar

some thousands heavier, and our advertising far
more lucrative; but Of our patronage generally
we have no reason, no wish 20 complain.

diminish our rural circulation through the inAu-
