THE NETWORK TRIBUNE,
1853.

1903.
THE TRIBUNE commenced its eighteenth wear
On the 10th Of April last. 1t has nearly COM
nletcd arrangements, by an outlay Of n,c-o= han
$:'o,oV ON a new Press, and other II a:l,inery
and adJuncts to reduce to the lowe st point the
time which must elapse between the making up
OF its forms and the reception of it's issue BIZ
It's patrons. No expense or labor will be spared
TO render Its advice from all quarters as prompt,
}uil, graphic and reliable as those Of any rival.
With correspondents at the most important
points IN either hemisphere, and an editorial
staff chosen from the best writer's in our eoun-
try, II cloeavors to deserve the unequaled cir
cul'ston wl'ich was accorded it some years since
2oi which, ia spite q the hardness o. Tie tines,
it still retains.
The TR1BUNE's course Oh the great question
OF the day is guided by principles which will
STAND the test OF ages. 1t wars upon Slavery,

down-troddcn race, because it realizes that UNI
just, oppressive laws arc curse, not merely to
their Immediate victims, but to The whole COM
mnnl'y which cndures and upholds them. In
the same spirit, it opposes FilIibusterism and
and every form of National rapacity or agrees
slon, profoundly convinced that "RIGHTEors-
NESS exalteth a nation," and that territory
won by conquest or spoliation never did ard
never can truly strengthen the nation thus ag-
grandized. Regarding Freedom in Laker rs
the only safe, ben;fceat basis Of National
growth and prosperity, it contends for that
Freedom not only in Kansas but on every acre
OF the Federal Territories, seeking no favor
from and granting none to any party, interest,
doctrine or tribunal that would render them
the nursery and home of Bondage The varied
development and diversifcation Of Home Indus.
try, the repression of IEtemperance, Violence
and Crime, the improvement, by every practical
BILE means, Of the condition Of the needy and
unfortunate, are among the objects to which
our efforts are steadiastly directed In short,
without assuming to be wiser or better than
others, we aim to be found always the foes Of
Wrong, Abuse and Evil, and the champions of
! Truth, Virtue and Reform. =
