THE TRIBUNE was frat Issued asa Dali
Il ~ on the 10Th of April, ls4l. Its Week

SeSlpe year; is Semi Weekly in May, 1919
ltWas She hrst daily in America TO issue dou-
Die or eight-page sheet at low prices and Y has
kept ct least even with the foremost OF its rivals
Inths rapid expulsion Of Newspaper enterprise,
which the great extension of siIroads, and the
establishments Of the Telegraph system haye
ieroHded into these last sixteen syentful yeas.z.
No larger journals afforded at so low pricei IN
any sauarter Of the world; none in America, no
natter ss what prizes Issued, pays q eqsal
amount, weekly or monthly, for intel tuai Ia !
Dor. II employs correspondents regularly IN the
Heading eapitals Of Europe, and at the most i'm
Iportant points on this continent, With a liberal
stat Of writer's and reporters at home, regarding
3n!ls early and accurate Information as the hrst
object Of a Newspaper, and the timely and
th0rongh calculation thereof as the chief end of
tts Editorials. In that spirit, the Tribune has
been and will be conducted, extending and per-
feeting its correspondence so fast the increase
Of its patronage will justify the expense. Should
the current attempt to connect the Old with the
New World BY the magnetic wire prove success
Jul, We shall very soon, at heavy cost to our
selves, and, We trust, a corresponding advantage
30 our readers, publish each morning synopsis
OF the preceding days occurrences throughout
Europe, Northern Africa and Western Asia, with
poets and harvest prospects of hither Europe.
With good atlas beside him and his daily pa
per on bis Preside table, the American farmer or
artiEan within q days ride Of the city may then
study each evening the doinss Of the civilized
world throughout the day preceding; and II
seems hardly possible that any who can read,
bat especially one who has children to educate,
viii longer deny himself the pleasure and profit
Of adaiiy journal. The same Is true measure
sbly Of those who live further inland; though,
where mails unfrequent, Semi Weekly, or
even Weekly paper may seem sufficient.
THE TRIBUNE deals with questions of Pc
Hto9l Economy, Public Policy, Ethics, Material
Progress, and whatever may affect the Intellec-
tzals Moral, Social and Physical Well-being OF
mankind, dOgmatico Theology alone excepted.
lts leading idea il the houoring of honest useful
Work in whatever sphere or capacity, and the
consequent elevation Of the Laboring Class in
knowledge, virtue and general esteem. 1t is

poets, 70 Intemperancs in Whatever form or de-
gree with its access0ries, to War save in the de-
fence Of Country and Liberty against actual in

30 see Production extended and encouraged,
while wild Speculation and useless Traffic are
eursaied, il 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 Fillibnsterism in all
Its phases, and every form and device of Ma
tional coVetousness, with unqualified adherence

che grave OF Equal Human Rights, we seek by (
every means to WOO and win the attention of our
oountrymen from projects of aggrlndizement

the Pacific. Believing that the goods of this
life are not yet fairly distributed, and thatno one
ready TO work should ever famsh in unwilling |
idleness, il lends an open ear to every sugges- |
ton Of Social Improvement which does not coun-
tervail the dictates of eternal Morality nor war 1
upon that natural right of every one to whatso |
ever he has fairly producedor honestly acquired,
whose denial must sink mankind into the chaos
and night Of barbarism and universal squalor.
With profound consciousness that idlers, drunk /
ards, libertines aud prohigates can never be 9TH

bears aoft the greattrdth that Prevention is bet

errors and woes OfOurraee. Recognizing in the
most degraded specimen of Humanity, divine |
spark which should be reYerently cherished, not
ruthlessly trodden out we have charity for all
form Of evil but those which seek personal ad
vantage through the debasement Of our fellow
beings. The champion of 10 class or caste, the
devotee of no sect, we would fain be the inter

The circulation Of the Tribune is at this time
as follows: Daily, $4,000 copies; Weekly,
176,s copies; Semi-Weekly, 5000 cop
les; California and European, 0,00O copies;
Total, ESQ, 800 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, and our advertising far
more lucrative; but of our patronage generally
