TIE TRIBUNE deals with questions OF ko-
litIcal Economy, Public Policy, Ethics, Material
Progress, AMI whatever my affect the Intelies-
tual, Moral, Social and PHYSICAL well -being OF
mankind, dOgmItic Theology alone es~eHted.
Its leading idea is the IGNORING of honest, useful
Work in whatever sphere or c1pacity, and the
consequent elevation of the Laboring Glass in
knowledge, virtue and general esteem. II IL
necessarily hostile TO Slavery under all its a..
poets, to Intemperancs in whatever form or de-
gree with its acces5orics, to War save in the de-
fence Of Country AMI Liberty against actual in
TaSion, 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
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, aud, of course, reducing the cost o.
their transfer. Regarding Fillibusterism in all
its phases, and every form and device OF Ma
tional covetousness, with unqualified abhorrencs
as the bane of Republics, and in their triumph
the grave of Equal Human Rights, we seek hy
every means to WOO and win the attention OF our
countrymen from projects of aggrandizement
abroad to enterprises OF development and beneh-
cence athome, foremost among which We rank .

bears alof the great truth that Prevention Is bet

in the way he should go, will rarely in after
years desert that way for TIE thorny paths OF
Vice and Crima-that true Educatiou-Relig-

Ais the most cffe ,tive temporal antidOte to the
errors and woes Of our race. Recognizing In the
most degraded specimen Of Humanity, . divine
spark which sifjuld be reverently cherished, not
trodden out, we have charity for all
form Of evil but those which seek personal ad-
vantage through the debasement of our fellow
beings. The champion Of no class or caste, the
devotee of no sect, we Would fain be the inter-

The circulation Of the Tribune is at this time
as follows: Daily, $4,000 copies; Weekly,
I76, 500 copies; Semi-weekly, rs, 900 cop

We hive no reason, no wish 10 complain.
OF late, a concerted effort has been. made to
diminish our rural circulation through the inau-
ence Of the PoStmasters, some Of whom embark
in IL eagerly, others under Political constraint;

Pretexts 10 which no individual in his private
capacity would have stopped, have been relied

reach Of their subscribers and rightful owners,
and their retention in the Post Ofics till their
