| YJNHE successful laying of the transatlantic
4 Telegraph Gable marks new era In Ine
/! history of Human Progress. Hencetofth, Eu-
| rome Western Asia, and Northern Africa lie
within an hours distance from our shores, and
the battle which decides the fate of kingdom,
the capture of Vienna or Gibraltar, the fall
of dynasty. the triumph of a usurpaton, the
birth of an heir to royalty, the death of Mic
| holas or Wellington, in any country which
touches the Mediterranean, the Euxine the
Black Sea or the German Ocean, will be pub
| lished in New York the next morning, if not
on the very day of its occurrence. In mo-
| ment, az it were. we have been thrown into the
| immediate Intellectual neighborhood of the
| whole civilized and a large portion of the semi
barbarous world. The rise and fall of stocks
| in London or Paris will henceforth be reported
| from day to day in the journals of our seaboard
cities. The boldest operators in Wall street
will refuse TO buy or sell until they have read
the quotations of that days business ON the
| Royal Exchange and at the Bourse, whose
transactions will have closed an hour or so be-
fore ours can begin. a revolution in Paris, an
| importont vote in Parliament, an instruction
| III Italy, fire in COnstantinople, will be dis
cussed around the breakfast tables of New Y ork
few hours after its occurrence. A mighty
| though silent transformation in the conditions
of human existence has Just been effected by
the little wire stretching across the oceans bed
| from the coast of Ireland TO that of British
America. and one inevitable result OF this must
he an unexample1 community of feeling and
! interest among the nations of Christendom, and
a consequent desire for more intimate ac-
| quaintance with each others doings through
| the medium of the Newspaper Press. 1t seems
hardly possible that thousands should not
| henceforth read their own journals, who have
hitherto been content with an occasional glance
at those taken by their neighbors; while many
| who have hitherto been content with Weekly
issue will now require Semi Weekly or
Daily. In short. Intelligence, always a vital
| element Of growth in wisdom, success in bust
ness, or enjoyment in life, has now become
| indispensable 10 all.
| THE NEW YORK TRIBUNE, now
more than seventeen years old, which was the
| first journal in the world that appeared regu-
| larly on an imperial eight sheet at so low a
price as two cents. and which has attained the
| Unparalleled aggregate of more than 2OO, 900
subscriptions respectfully solicits its share of
| the new patronage which the Metropolitan
| Press is henceforth constrained, at a heavy
weekly COST to deserve 1t asks especially the
| patronage and active favor of RepubGcans-of
| those who hate all forms of oppression, and
desire that every rational being shall be free to
as he shall deem best-of those who would
extend Liberty and limit Slaverv-but it fur
| ther appeals likewise to all who look and labor
for the return of National thrift plenty, pros
| peritv, through the Protection of American
! Industry by wisely discriminating duties on
| Imports-all who favor National Progress
through internal development and moderation
rather than by external aggression and extern
| sion-all who would rather have the National
resources devoted to tho construction of a rail-
road TO the Pacific than to the purchase or con-
| quest of Mexico, Nicarauga or Cuba-all who
would retrench radically our present inordi-
nate Federal expenditures by abolishing or
immensely reducir g the Army and Navy. and
| expanding the money thus saved on works of
| benefcence which will endure to bless our
| children-al who profoundly realize that
Righteousness exalteth a nation" and that
no real advantage can ever accrue to any per-
son or community from acquisitions or success
ses achieved by means which contravene the
| laws of Eternal Right. The free allotment Of
| limited portions of the Public Lands to Actual
Settlers thereon, and every hopeful plan intend
| ed to diminish the sum of human misery from
| dearth of employment or inadequate recon-
| pense-eyerv scheme especially that seeks to
| help the unfortunate by enabling them and
| teaching them to help themselves-must COM
mand our earnest sympathy and corporation.
Within the present year, THE TRIBUNE
| has provided itself with new and faster Press
at cost of $4,000, merely that some of our
| subscribers may receive their papers mail
earlier than they otherwise might do. With
correspondents at the most important points
| throughout the civilized world, and staff Of
writers chosen from among the best in the
| country, we believe that even those who dis
like the politics of our sheet concede to it frank
| ness in avowing its convictions and ability in
maintaining them. We appeal, then, to those
| who believe that an increased circulation of
| The Tribune would conduce to the political,
intellectual and moral well being of the Repub-
| lie, TO aid us in effecting such increase. AS
| we employ no travelling solicitors of subscrip-
| tons, we ask our present patrons in every To-
cality to speak to their neighbors and friends
in our be helf; We shall gladly receive from any
| friend lists of those who would receive and
read a specimen copy of one of our editions,
and shall be particularly grateful to those who
may send Us such names from post offices at
| which we have now no subscribers. Whatever
| additions may thus be made to our circulation
| shall be paralleled by increased efforts and
| expenditures to make our issues more valuable
and useful than they have hitherto been.
