THE TRIBUNE deals with questions Of Pc.

Progress, and whatever may affect the lntellso-
eaal, Moral, Social and Physical Well-being Of
mankind, dogmatie Theology alone excepted

to see Production extended and encouraged
while wild Speculation and useless Trsme are
curtailed, il favors the policy Of sustaining an4
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 she dis
lance across which their respective products are
exchanged, and, Of course, reducing the cost Of
their transfer. Regarding FilGbusterism n Az
its phases, and every form and device opNa.
tional covetousness. with unqualified Gbhorenee

the grave Of Equal Human Rights, We seek ey
every means to WOO and win the attention Of our

OF late, a concerted effort has been made -

feel the heavy hand Of Power, and have doubs-
