TIE NEW YORK TRIBUNE--lss7ss'
HlHE TRIBUNE vas first issued as Dai
Il ly on the 10Th Of April 1871 It's Week
/ ly edition was commenced in September Of ths
same year; its Semi Weekly in May le49.-
Il was the irst daiIy in America to issue dou'
bic or eight-page sheet at low price, and il has
kept at least even With the foremost ofits rivals
in the rapid expansion Of Newspaper enterprise
> which the great extension Of Railroads, and the
establishment of the Telegraph system have
, crowded into these last sixteen eventual years
No larger journals afforded at so low price IN
any quarter of the world; none in America, no
matter at what price Issued, pays an eqsai
amount, weekly or monthly, for intellectual Ia
Dor. Is employs correspondents regularly in the
; leading capitals Of Europe, and at the most I'M,
portant points on this continent, with liberal
staff Of writer's and reporters at home, regaraing
full, early and accurate information as the hrst
object of Newspaper, and the timely and
thorough calculation thereof as the chief end OF
its Editorials. In that spirit, the Tribune has
been and viii be conducted, extending and per
feeling its correspondence fast as 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
] f6l, We shall very soon, at heavy cost to our
selves, and, we trust, a corresponding advantage
| to our readers, publish each morning a synopsis
of the preceding days occurrences throughout
Europe, Northern Africa and Western Asia, with
regular reports of the markets, the monetary as
poets and harvest prospects of hither Europe.
With good atlas beside him and his daily pa
per on his Preside table, the American farmer or
artizan within days ride of the city may then
study each evening the doings of the civilized
world throughout the day preceding; and it
seems hardly possible that any who can read,
but especially one who has children to educate,
willlonger deny himself the pleasure and profit
of daily journal. The same IS true .measure1
ably Of those who live further inland; though,
where nails are unfrequent, a Semi Weekly, or
even aWeekly paper may seem sufficient.
THE TRIBUNE deals with questions of Po-
lihcal Economy, Public Policy, Ethics, Material
Progress, and whatever may affect the Intellee-
tual, Moral, Social and Physical Well-being of
mankind, dogmatic Theology alone excepted.
Its leading idea is the honorng Of honest, useful
Work in whatever sphere or capacity, and the
consequent elevation of the Laboring Glass in
knowledge, virtue and general esteem. Il is
necessarily hostile to Slavery under all its as
poets, to Intemperancs in whatever form or de-
gree with its accessories, to War save in the de-
fence of Country and Liberty against actual in
vasion, and to every form of Gambling, desiring
to see Production extended and encouraged,
while wild Speculation and useless Traffic are
curtailed, it favors the policy of sustaining and
diversifying Home Industry by a 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
as the bane of Republics, and in their triumph
the grave of Equal Human Rights, we seek by
everymeahs to WOO and win the attention Of our
countrymen from projects Of aggrandizement
abroad to enterprises Of development and benef-
cence athome, foremost among which we rank a
Railroad through the heart of our Territory to
connect the waters of the Atlantic with those of
the Pacific Believing that the goods of this
life not yet fairly distributed and that no one
ready 10 work should ever famish in unwilling
idleness, 1t lends an open ear to every sugges-
ton Of Social improvement which does not eouB-
terTail the dictates Of eternal Morality nor war
upon that natural right Of every one to whatso-
ever he has fairly produced or honestly acquired,
whose denial must sink mankind into the chaos
and night of blrbarism and universal squalor. ,
With profound consciousness that idlers, drunk !
ards, libertnes ald profiigates can never be 9th
er On the mlin) than needy and wretched, il
bears alOt the great truth that Prevention is bet
ter than Punishment-that the child trained up
in the way he should go, will rarely in after
years desert that way for the thorny paths of
Vice and Crime-that a true EducatiOn-Relig-
ous, Moral and Industrial as we'll as Intelectu- b
ll-is the most elective temporal antidote to the
errors and woes Of our race. Recognizing in the
most degraded specimen Of Humanity, a divine
spark which should be reverently cherished, not
-uthlessly trodden out, we have charity for all b
orm OF evil but those which seek personal ad
Tantage through the debasement of our fellow
beings The champion of no class or caste, the
ievotee Of no sect, we would fain be the inter-
1reter TO each other of mems better impulses and
SEPARATIONS, the harbinger of general concord be-
'ween Labor and Capital, and among those whom
circumstances or misapprehensions have thrown I
INTO unnaturalantagonism A c0temporary once
observed that he never knew a hard, grasping,
liggardly employer who did not hate the Tri. ,
Iune, nor genuine, large-souled, kindly one,
Wiling to live and let live, who did not ike IT,
We ask no higher praise, no warner attastation
The circulation Of the Tribune is at this time
Is follows: Daily, $4,000 copies; Weekly,
[ &c, 500 copies; Semi-W eekly, 10, 900 cop
es; California and European, 6,000 copies;
Total, 23O,S0O copies. That Of the Semi
Weekly and Weekly, VIC believe to be exceeded
~ no other newspaper published in the world; A
hat Of the Daily falls behind that of some Of al
,ur cotemporaries. Had our hostility to Human L
Slavery and the Liquor Traffic been more guar II
leu anu pOitCs our Oalfy issues would now be '"
ome thousands heavier, and our advertising far
more lucrative; but Of our patronage generally A

OF late, concerted effort has been made to T

'retexts to which no individual in his private
