in the rapid expansion Of Newspaper enterprise,
which the great extension Of Railroads, and the
establishment Of the Telegraph system have
crowded into these last sixteen eventual ysars-
No larger j0urhal is afforded at 80 low price in
any quarter Of Ihe world; none in America, no
matter at what price Issued, paws an equal
amount, weekly or monthly, for intellectual la
Dor. Il employs correspondents regularly in the
leading capitals Of Europe, and at the most i'm
portant points on tins continent, with liberal
staff Of writer's and reporters at home, regarding
full, early and accurate information a. the frst
object Of = Newspaper, and the timely and
thorough calculation thereof as the chief end Of
its Editorials. In that spirit, the Tribune hAa

feoting its Correspondence so fast As the increase

THE TRIBUNE deals with questions Of Po-
litieal Economy, Public Policy, Ethics, Material
Hoeress, and whatever may affect the Intellae-
! eral, Moral, Social and Physical Well-being Of
pankind, dogmatie 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. IL II

vasion, and to every form of Gambling, desiring
to see Production extended and encouraged,
while wild Speculation and useless Traffic are
curtailed, 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 abhorrenss
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 andbens6-
cence at home, foremost among which We rank .

idleness, it lends an open ear to every suggeS-

bears aloft the great truth that Prevention is bet

Vice and Crime-that a true Education-Relig-

errors and woes Of our race. Recognizing in the
most degraded specimen of Humanity, divine
spark which should be reverently cherished, not
ruthlessly trodden out, we have charity for all

aspirations, the harbinger of general concord be-

circumstances or misrepresentation have thrown

We ask no higher praise, no warmer attsstation-
The circulation Of the Tribune is at this time
as follows: Daily, $4,000 copies; Weekly,
178, 500 copies; Semi-Weekly, 1000 cop
| les; California and European, 5000 copies;
Total, gao, 500 copies. That OF the Semi
Weekly and Weekly, we believe to be exceeded
BY no other newspaper published in the WorldI
| that of the Daily falls behind that Of some Of
our contemporaries. Had our hostility TO Human
Slavery and the Liquor Traffic been more guar
ded and polite. our Daily issues would now be
some 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
diminish our rural circulation through the inhu-
ence Of the Postmasters, some OF whom embark
in it eagerly, others under political constraint;
while large number, we are happy, for the sake
of Human Nature, to state, refuse TO be d1goon-
ed into it at all. Still, We have been made 70

less lost thousands of subscribersin consequence.
Pretexts to which no individual in his private
capacity 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. Post Masters have been
schooled BY rival jOurnals-sevsral ef them liV-
ing on their self.proclaimed ability to serve
antidote TO the Tribune-as to their political
duty TO promote at our expense the dissemination
of gazettes Of adverse politics. We shall OutliVs
this warfare, but we do not affect indifference 70
