ably of those who live further inland; though
where mails are unfrequent, Semi Weekiy' or

THE TRIBUNE deals with questions OF 70,

Progress, and whatever may Affect the in.eneo

Work in whatever sphere or capacity, and the
consequent elevation of the Laboring Class ID

while wild Speculation and useless franc are
curtailed, it favors the policy OF sustaining ana
diyersifying 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 adherence
