leading capitals Of Europe, and at tne mos. IN
uortant points on this continent, with noerai
staff of writer's and reporters at home, regarsing
full, early and accurate information as the mrs.
object of q Newspaper, and the timely ana
thorough calculation thereof as the CHIEF END OF
its Editorials. In that spirit, the Tribune mas
been and will be conducted, extending ana per

of its patronage will Justify the expense Snouiu

pocts and harvest prospects Of hither Europe.

THE TRIBUNE deals with questions Of 70,
Iihcal Economy, Public Policy, Ethics, Material
Progress, and whatever may affect the lnteiec-
| tuals Moral, Social and Physical well-being OF
mankind, dogmatic Theology alone excepted;
It's leading idea is the honoring OF honest, useiui
1 Work in whatever sphere or capacity, and the
consequent elevation of the Laboring Class Id
knowledge, virtue and general esteem. IL Is
necessarily hostile 10 Slavery under all its as
poets, to Intemperancs in whatever form or de-
gree with its accessories, to War save IN the ae-
fence of Country and Liberty against actual IN
vasion, and to every form OF Gambling desiring
/ to see Production extended and enconraged'
while wild Speculation and useless Traffic are
curtailed, it favors the policy of sustaining ana
diversifying Home Industry by discriminating
| Tariffs policy which tends to increase the
price of Grain 10 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 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 ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
abroad to enterprises Of development and beneh-
cence athome, foremost among which we rank

Ais the most effective temporal antidote to the
errors and woes Of our race. Recognizing in the
most degraded specimen of Humanity, a divine
spark which should be FeverentlY cherished, no
ruthlessly trodden out, we have charity for al
form of evil but those which seek personal ad
vantage through the debasement of our fellow
beings. The champion of no class or caste, thu

u as follows: Daily, $4,000 copies; Weekly

our cotemporaries. Had our hostility TO Huma
Slavery and the Liquor Traffic been more guar

IS Pretexts to which no individual in his privai
capacity would have stopped, have been relic
on to justify the stoppage Of our papers With
