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

The circulation Of the Tribune is at this time
as follows: Daily. $4,000 copies; Weekly,
I76, 500 copies; Semi-Weekly, 10000 COP

Total. 2SO,sOO copies. That Of the Semi
Weekly and Weekly, we believe to be exceeded
by no other newspaper published in the worldI
that of the Daily falls behind that Of some %
our contemporaries. 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 kr
more lucrative; but Of our patronage generally

, or late, concerted effort has been made to
diminish our rural circulation through the inAI-
ence of the POstmastcrs, some Of whom embark
, in Il eagerly, others under psHticaI eohsiraint;
while a large number, we are happy, forthe sake
Of Human Nature, To state, refuse 70 be dragoon-
ed into 10 at all. Still, we have been made TO
, feel the heavy hand Of Power, and have doubt-
less lost thousands Of subscribers in consequence.
Pretexts TO which no individual in his private
. capacity would have stopped, have been relied
on TO justify the stoppage Of our papers within
reach Of their subscribers and rightful owners,
and their retention in the Post Office till their
value was DESTROYED. Post Masters have been
schooled BY rival journals-seVsral ef them liV-
