THE New YORK TRIBUNE-IS57-s,

j. " on Che 10Th of April, le4l Its Week
! " edition vas commenced in September 81 tn
same year; its Semi-weekly in May, 1870
II was the first daily in America to issue ooa
bic or eight-page sheet at low price, ana !. ma
kept at least even with the foremost OF It's rlsan
in therapid expansion Of Newspaper enterprise
which the great extension Of Railroads. ana 1n'
establishment Of the Telegraph system haEs
crowded into these last sixteen eventfal years
No larger journal is afforded at 80 low price II
any quarter of the world; none in America nc
matter at what price Issued, pays an eqaal
amount, weekly or monthly, for intellectual "a
Dor. 1t employs correspondents regularly m the
leading capitals OF Europe, and at the most I'M
portant points on this continent, with hDeral
staff of writer's and reporters at home, regaraine
full, early and accurate information as the mrs.
object of q Newspaper, and the timely ana
thorough calculation thereof as the chief emo OF
its Editorials. In that spirit, the Tribune mas
been and will be conducted, extending and per-
feeting its correspondence SO fast 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
full, we shall very soon, at heavy cost to our
selves, and, we trust, corresponding advantage
10 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 a days ride Of the city may then
study each evening the doinss of the civilized
world throughout the day preceding; and il
seems hardly possible that any who can read,
but especially one who has children to educate,
lllonger deny himself the pleasure and profit
of daily journal. The same is true measures
ably Of those who live further inland; though,
where mails are unfrequent, a Semi Weekly, or
even Weekly 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 honOring of honest, useful
Work in whatever sphere or capacity, and the
consequent elevation of the Laboring Class in
knowledge, virtue and general esteem. 1t 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 discriminating |
Tariff policy which tends to increase the 1
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 /
and, of course, reducing the cost of
their transfer. Regarding Fillibusterism in all
its phases, and every form and device of Ma
tiOnal eoyetousness, with unqualified adherence |
as the bane of Republics, and in their triumph /
the grave of Equal Human Rights, we seek by /
every means to WOO and win the attention of our |
countrymen from projects of aggrandizement
abroad to enterprises Of development and benef- |
cence atb0me, foremost among which we rank I
Railroad through the heart of our Territory to |
the waters of~the Atlantic with those Of
the Pacific. Believing that the goods of this |
life are not yet fairly distributed, andthatno one
ready to work should ever famish in unwilling /
idleness, it lends an open ear to every sugges- /
ton of Social improvement whichdoes not eoun- |
tervail the dictates of eternal Morality nor war /
upon that natural right of every one to whatso
everhe has fairly produced or honestly acquired,
whose denial must sink mankind into the chaos
and night of bIrbarism and universal squalor. 1
With profound consciousness that idlers, drunk /
ards, libertines and proagates can never be 9th /
er (in the mIin) thln needy and wretched, it /
bears aloft the grelttrdth 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
' lCG anu STliut-bHlb True E1uuCdblOu-heliR-
ions, Moral and Industrial as well as Intellectu-
Ais the mosteffestive 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 /
trOdden out, we have charity for all
form of evil but those which seek personal ad-
rantage through the debasement of our fellow
beings. The champion of no class or caste, the
ieyotee of no sect, we would fain be the inter-
1reter to each other of mems better impulses and
ASPIRATIONS, the harbinger Of general concord be-
,ween Labor and Capital, and among those whom
or misapprehensions have thrown
nto ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. A Contemporary once
observed that he never knew a hard, graspi1g,
iiggarify employer who did not hate the Tri-
pune, nor genuine, large-souled, kindly one,
Wiling to 1--we and let live, who did not like it.
We ask no higher praise, no warmer attastation.
The circulation Of the Tribune is at this time
Is follows: Daily, $4,000 copies; Weekly,
l76, 800 copies; Semi-Weekly, IS, 900 cop
es; California and European, 5000 copies;
Total. ESQ, 500 copies. That of the Semi
Weekly and Weekly, VIC believe to be exceeded
~ no other newspaper published in the world; !
hat of the Daily falls behind that of some of
,ur Contemporaries. Had our hostility to Human
Slavery and the Liquor Traffic been more guar
led and polite, our Daily issues would now be
ome thousands heavier, and our advertising far
more lucrative; but OF our patronage generally
We have no reason, no wish 70 complain.
OF late, concerted effort has been made to
finnish our rural circulation through the inhu-
nee Of the Postmasters, some of whom embark
n it eagerly, others under political constraint;
While large number, we are happy, for she sake
f Human Nature, to state, refuse to be dragoon-
d into it at all. Still, we have been made TO
eel the heavy hand of Power, and have doubt
ess lost thousands Of subscribersin consequence.
'retexts to which no individual in his private
apacity would have stopped, have been relied
n to justify the stoppage Of our papers within s
each Of their subscribers and rightful owners,
nd their retention in the Post Office till their
alue was destroyed. Post Masters have ben
chOoled BY rival journals-several eff them liv-
lg on theirselfproclaimed ability 70 serve as an
ntidOte to the Tribune-as to their political
uty to promote at our expense the dissemination
{ gazettes Of adverse politics. We shall outIive
mis- warfare, but We do not affect indifference TO
!. In the open field Of discussion, we fear moth
lg; but in the tens Of thousands of rural I
eighborhoods where the Post Master can induce
lany OF his quiet neighbors TO take the Journal

1ns, and expect to lose more az our subscrip-
ons for this year expire Weappeal, therefore,
the hearty, faithful, fearless advocates of Free
abor and Free Soil throughout the land to take Il
