Which the Great extension Of Railroads, ano the

No I.roer journal il afforded at so low price IN
any quarter of the world; none in Americas no

object Of a Newspaper, and the timely ana

its Editorials. In that spirit, the Tribune mas

soems hardly possible that any who can read,
lint especially one who has children to educate,
win longer deny himself the pleasure and Prons

ably of those who live further inland; though
where mails are unfrequent, Semi-Weeklys or
even a Weekly paper may seem sufficient.
THE TRIBUNE deals with questions Of 70,
lhcal Economy, Public Policy, Ethics Mate5lal
Progress and whatever may Affect the Inteiieo
| tual, Moral, Social and Physical well-being OF
mankind, dogmatic Theology alone excepted;
It's leading idea is the honoring Of honest nseiul
Work in whatever sphere or capacity, ana the
consequent elevation of the Laboring Class IN
knowledge, virtue and general esteem. IL Is
necessarily hostile to Slavery under all ITS as
meets, TO Intemperance in whatever form or 9e-
gree with its accessories, to War save IN the se-
fence of Country and Liberty against aesuel IN

while wild SPECULATION and useless Traffic are
curtailed, it fayors the policy Of sustaining ana
diyersifying Home Industry by DISCRIMINATING
Tariff-a policy which tends to increase the
price of Grain to the farmer, while diminishing
that Of Bread to the artisan, by reducing the as
lance across which their respective products are
exchanged, and, of course, reducing the cost Of
their transfer. Regarding Fillibusterism IN al
its phases, and every form and device OF Ma
tional coyetousness, with unqualified adherence
"a the bane of Republics, and in their triumph
the grave Of Equal Human Rights, we seek by
Il every means to WOO and win the attention OF our
countrymen from projects of aggrandizement

most degraded specimen of Humanity, divine
shark which should be reverently cherished, no
