seems hardly possible that any who can read,

will longer deny himself the pleasure and profit
Of a daily journal. The same is true measure
ably of those who live further inland; though,
where mills are unfreqHent, q Semi Weekly, or
even Weekly paper may seem sufficient.
THE TRIBUNE deals with questions of o-
litIcal Economy, Public Policy, Ethics, Material
Progress, and whatever may affect the lntellee-
tual, Moral, Social and Physical wen -being Of
mankind, dogmltic 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 Glass 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, 1T fayors the policy Of sustaining and
diversifying 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, and, Of course, reducing the cost Of
their transfer. Regarding Fillibusterism in all
its phases, and every form and device Of Ma
tional eOvetousness. 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 ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

connect the waters of the Atlantic with those Of
the Pacific. Believing that the goods of this
life are not vet fairly distributed, and that one
ready to work should ever famsh in unwilling
idleness, it lends an open ear TO every sugges-
ton of Social improvement which does not eoun
tervail the dictates Of eternal Morality nor war
upon that natural right Of every one to whatso-
erhe has fairly produced or honestly acquired,
whose denial must sink mankind into the chaos
and night Of barbarism and universal squalor.

that OF the Daily falls behind that of some of

Slavery and the Liquor Traffic been more guar I
