1t is easier to contract the vices of others than to
impart to them our own virtues, just it is easier
to catch their diseases than to communicate to them
our own good health. Our anxiety to avoid bodily
infection can be exceeded by total indifference
to that which is mental. There is a moral as well
as physical cholera, and yet, while We are hall

POLITICAL ECONOMY OF THE TRIBUNE.

A leading idea of the TRIBUNE is, that Labor
being the foundation of National prosperity, should
be free, honored and rewarded; that the working
man should be elevated in knowledge, virtue and
independence. 1t desires more workers and fewer
drones in the human hive; more industry and less
speculation; it has no confidence in short cuts 10
wealth. and is opposed to Gambling-whether in
real estate stocks or cards ii'f
The TRIBUNE is in favor of a National policy
so regulating the Currency, and fostering Indus
try that the Farmer shall receive good steady pri-
ces for his products--the Mechanic constant EN-
ployment at remunerative wages, and the Merchant
fair profit upon his capital, risk and services Ii
will continue to wage war of determination against
all wild Cat currency and banking schemes hav-
ing for their object the evasion OF our laws or the
defrauding of the people.
The TRIBUNE is pledged to work for radical
reformation of the prevailing financial system which
every few years initiates the currency and credits OF
the country. thereby causing the people to plunge
recklessly into debt; which attaches fictitious and
delusve values upon property, persuadng men that
they arc millionaires, when really insolvent, and
then suddenly contracting upon apanc struck com
munity, crushing tens of thousands in hopeless
bankruptcy, throwing hundreds of thousands of la
borers out of employment, and Gripping the-busi
ness and prosperity OF mlions-fort the sole benefit
of the vendors of law and the followers of Shylock
Against the continuance of such a financial policy
the TRIBUNE will lift its voice and influence, un
Ill reform is instituted

When Sabbath bells have ceased their sound,
And the hours Of day are passed.
And twilight draws its curtains round,
And Shadows gather fast
There isone spot and one alone,
Round which our hearts must cling
And fondest memories, one by one,
Their choicest treasure bring.
That spot i home, its sacred walls
Admit no discord then:
Nor crowded marts. nor festive halls.
Nor gayest haunts of men.

None such to them is given;

With hope Of gathering fairer flowers

Yet in the cold world's earnest throngs-

ELEVENTH VOLUME OF THE
CHICAGO TRIBUNE
FOR THE YEAR 1853.

THE TRIBUNE AS NEWSPAPER.
TNOR people residing in the Great North West
Il the CHICAGO TRIBUNE is the best paper
published in the United States II gives all the
Eastern and Foreign news of any general interest
to Western readers, and publishes besides an i'm
mcnse of intelligence, original and selected
collected from all the Western States and Terrific
ries. No Chicago paper rivals the Tribune in
Marshall County Republican. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1856-1878, 1858-02-25
POLITICS OF THE TRIBUNE.

The Chicago Tribune is bold, earnest and
straight forward Republican paper, devoted to the
cause of Freedom, Progress and Reform. Believ-
ing that Liberty, and not Bondage, is the saving
principle of the American Republic, the Tribune Is
enlisted into the ranks of the National Republicans
not for campaign, but during the war Taking
the Constitution as it, chart, and the immortal dec
laration of Independence its text book, it con-
tends for the principles declared by the unanimous
vote of the Fathers of the Republic in the Congress
of l7S7: THAT Slavery or involuntary serviude is
Inconsistent With the fundamental principle of civil
and religious liberty and it therefore insists that
Slavery shall be excluded from the National Terri
tories, and that the just influence of the Federal
Government be exorted on the side Of Freedom
The Tribune sympathises with that Protestant
principle which recognizes the individual as a
Free Agent-frce to form his own opinion on all
questions 1t contemns ecclesiastical interference
ut the ballot box, and looks with distrust upon the
close political alliance existing between the two sys-
tens ofdespotism il America-Popcry and Slavery

than the fact that TwENTy-sIx HUNDRED of the
