the NEW YORK TRIBUNE--IS57-s
tnIHE TRIBUNE vas first issued as Dai
i IL on the 10Th of April, 1871. Its Week
" edition was commenced in September Of the
same year; its Semi Weekly in May, 1875
Il was the first daily in America to issue dou
bic or eight-page sheet at low price, andit hai
kept at least even with the foremost ofits rival:
in the rapid expansion of Newspaper enterprise
| which the great extension of Railroads, and the
establishment of the Telegraph system have
I crowded into these last sixteen eyentful years
No larger journal is afforded at so low price in
I any quarter Of the world; none in America, nc
\ matter at what price Issued, pays an equal
amount, weekly or monthly, for intellectual ia
Dor. 1t employs correspondents regularly IN the
leading capitals of Europe, and at the most an
portant points on this continent, with liberal
staff Of writer's and reporters at home, regarding
/ full, early and accurate information as the hrst
J object OF a Newspaper, and the timely and
7 thorough calculation thereof as the chief end OF
! its Editorials. In that spirit, the Tribune has
! been and will be conducted, extending and per-
fecting its correspondence 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 wire prove success
/ full, we shall very soon, at heavy cost to our
to our readers, publish each morning synopsis
Of the preceding days occurrences throughout
Europe, Northern Africa and Western Asia, with
regular reports of the markets, the monetary as
poets and harvest prospects Of hitler Europe.
With good atlas beside him and his daily pa
per on his freside table, the American farmer or
artizan within days ride of the city may then
study each evening the doinss Of the civilized
world throughout the day preceding; and Il
ha- ~ hak vb0
but especially one who has children to educate,
Willlonger deny himself the pleasure and profit
of daily journal. The same Is true measure
ably of those who live further inland; though,
where mails are unfrequent, a Semi Weekly, or
even Weekly paper may seem sufficient.
THE TRIBUNE deals with questions Of Po-
litcal Economy, Public Policy, Ethics, Material
Progress, and whatever may affect the Intellee-
tual, Moral, Social and Physical well-beiRg OF
mankind, dogmatic Theology alone excepted.
It's leading idea is the honoring of honest, useful
Work in whatever sphere or capacity, and the
consequent elevation Of the Laboring Class in
knowledge, virtue and general esteem. 1t is
necessarily hostile TO Slavery under all its as
poets, TO Intemperancs in whatever form or de-
gree with its accessories, to War save in the de-
fence Of Country and Liberty against actual in
vasion, and to every form of Gambling, desiring
to see Production extended and encouraged,
while wild Speculation and useless Traffic are
curtafled, it 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 products 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 abborrence
as the bane Of Republics, and i'm their triumph
the grave of Equal Human Rights, we seek by
every means to WOO and win the attention of our
countrynen from projects of aggrandizement
abroad to enterprises Of development and benei
cence athOme, foremost among which we rank a
Railroad through the heart of our Territory to
the waters of the Atlantic with those of
the Pacific. Believing that the goods of this
life not yet fairly distributed, and that no one
ready to work should ever f1mish in unwilling
idlencss, it lends an open ear to every sugges-
ton of Social improvement which does not cOuD-
terVail the dictates of eternal Morality nor war
upon that natural right of every one to whatsO-
ever he has fairly produced or honestly acquired,
whose denial mist sink mankind into the chaos
and night OF blr51rism and universal squalor.
With profound consciousness that idlers, drunk
ards, libertiurs anil proaigates can never be 9TH
er lin the mln) thu needy and wretched, it
bears aluft the great trth that Prevention is bet
ter than PIai5hmcnt-:hat the child trained up
in the way be should 90, will rarely in after
years desert that way for the shOruy paths Of
Vice and Crime-.hat true Educatiou-Relig
ous, Moral and Industrial as well as Intellectu-
lis the most cffe ,tve temporal antidute to the
errors and woes of our race. Recognizing in the
most degraded specimen Of Humanity a divine
spark which should be rcverently cherished, not
troddcn out, we have charity for all
Orm of evil but those which seek personal adj
- IL
beings. The champion of no class or caste, the
levotee Of no sect, we would fain be the inter-
1reter toeach other of mems better impulses and
ASPIRATIONS, the harbinger of general concord be-
'ween Labor and Capital, aud among those whom :
circumstances or mislpprehensions have thrown
INTO unn7turalantagonism A cotemporary once
observed that he never knew hard, grasping,
iiggardly employer who did not hate the Tri-
pune, nor genuine, large-souled, kindly one,
Wiling to live and let live, who did not like it.
We ask no higher praise, no warner attastation.
The circulation of the Tribune is at this time
Is follows: Daily, $4,000 copies; Weekly,
lT6 500 copies; Semi-Weekly, 10000 cop
es; California and European, 5000 copies;
Total, ESQ, 800 copies. That of the Semi
Weekly and Weekly, we believe to be exceeded
" no other newspaper published in the world;
hat of the Daily falls behind that of some Of a
Iur cOtemporaries. Had our hostility to Human l
2idfeIl anu eLe Liquor rdlnc Oeeu L3Ore guar :
led and polite, our Daily issues would now be '
ONE thousands heavier, and our advertising far
more lucrative; but of our patronage generally
We have no reason, no wish 20 complain.
Of late, concerted effort has been made to !
finnish our rural circulation through the influ-
nee OF the Postmasters, some of whom embark
n il eagerly, others under Political cOnstraint;
Fhile large number, we are happy, for the sake
# Human Nature, to state, refuse to be dragoon-
d into it at all. Still, we have been made to
eel the heavy hand Of Power, and have doubt
ess lost thousands of subscribers in consequence
'retexts to which no individual in his private
apaeity would have stopped, have been relied
n 70 justify the stoppagc of our papers within s
each OF their subscribers and rightful owners,
nd their retention in the Post Office till their
alue was destroyed. Post Masters have been
chooled BY rival journals-several eff them liv-
ng on Observation-Disclosures ability to serve as an
ntidote to the Tribune-as to their political
uty TO promote at our expense the dissemination
