where mills are unfreqaent, Semi Weekly, or

THE TRIBUNE deals with questions of Pc
iincLl Economy, Public Policy, Ethics, VI rterial
Progress, and Whatever may affect the Intellec
tnal, Moral, Social AMI Physical we'll being Of
mankind, dogm tic Theology alone excepted.
Its leaiing idea Is the honoring Of honest, useful
Work in whatever sphere or capacity. and the
consequent elevation Of the Llboring Class in
knowledge, virtue AMI general esteem. 1t is
necessarily hostile TO Slavery under all its
poets, TO Ihtem2erancs in whstever form or de
gree With its accessories, 70 War save in the de-
fence Of Country and Liberty against actual in
vasion, and to every form OF G Imbing, desiring
TO see Production extended and encouraged,
while wild Speculation and useless Traffic are
cursailed, it faTors the policy Of sustaining and
diversifying Home Industry 10y discriminating
Tsrif-a 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 I
tional coVetousness, N it'll unqualified adherence .
as the b1ne Of Republics, aud 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 aggrandizement
abroad to enterprises Of development and benefi- .

the Pacific. Believing that the goods of this
life are not vet fairly distributed and that no one

idleness, il lends an open ear to every susges-
'tion Of Social Improvement which does not coun-

Theeirculation Of the Tribune is at this time
- follows: Dlilg, 1000 copies; Weekly,
ITS, s9O copies; Sem; Weekly, 10000 cop
les; California and European, 5000 copies;
Tntal, 230,s0o copies. That of the Semi
Weekly and Weekly, we believe TO be exceeded
By no other newspaper published in the world;
that of the Daily falls behind that Of some Of
our cotemporarieS. 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, AMI our advertising far
more lucrative; but of orr patronage generally 9
we have no reason, no wish 20 complain.
0f'I4te, concerted effort has been made 10 {
diminish our rural circulation through the indu
ence Of the Postmlsters, some of whom embark
In il eagerly, others under Political constraint;
while large number, we are happy, for the sake
Of Human Nature, ts state, refuse 70 be dragoon-
cd into il At ALL, Still, I'VE have been nude to .
feel the heavy hand Of Power, and have doubt
less lost thousands of subscribers in 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 Ofcs till their
value was destroyed. Post Masters have been
Ichooled BY rival journals-sevsral eff them liv-
Ing on their self proclaimed ability 70 serve
Antidote to the Fribnne-as 10 their political 1
duty to promote tour expense the dissemination :
Of gaSettes Of adverse politics. Weshsll outline {
this warfare, but We do not affect Indifference to
Il. In the open field of discussion, we fear moth
lng;' but in the tens Of thousands Of rural
where the Post Master can induce
many of his quiet neighbOrs to take Che journal
he recommends, we have already lost some pat
rona, aud expect % lose more as our subscrip-
tons for this year expire. We appeal therefore,
10 the hearty, faithful fearless advocates of Free
Labor and Free Sail throughout the land to take
care that this Official warfare on our circulation
be net prosecuted without eounteraction. We
employ no travelling agents, for we win not con-
.ent to have the public harassed with the solicit
Eations Of strangers in our behalf. We strike the
name Of each subscriber to our Weekly or Semi
Weekly from our books so soon as his term has
expired, for We will not haunt cur patrons with
