THE NEW YORK TRIBUNE
ISaS-59.

History of Human Progress. Henceforth Eu-
rope Western Asia and Northern Africa lie
within an hours distance from our sheres, and
the battle which decides the fate of kingdom,
the capture of u Vienna or Giblaltcr, the fall OF
a dynasty, the triumph of an usurpation, the
birth OF an heir 10 royalty, the death of Mich
olas or Wellington, in any country which touch
es the Mediterranean, the Euxine, the Black
Sea or the German Ocean, win he published in
New York the next morning, if not on the very
day of its occurrence. In moment, as If
were we have been thrown into the immediate
intellectual neigborllood of the whole civilized
and n large portion of the semi barbafous world.
The rise and fall of stocks in London or Paris
will hencciorth be reported from day to day in
the journals of our seaboard cities. The bold
est operators in Wall street will refuse to buy or
sell, until they have read the quotations of that
DAYS business on the Royal Exchange and at
the Bourse, whose transactions will hase.closcl
an hour or 50 before ours can begin A revo-
luton in Paris an important vote in Parliament
an Instruction in Italy, a fire in Constantine
pie, will be discussued around the breakfast tai
bles of New York a few hours after its occur
renee. A mighty though silent Transformation
in the conditions of human existence has Just
been effected by the little wire stretching across
the oceans bed from the coast of Ireland to that
Of British America, and one inevitable result
of this must be an unexanpled community of
feeling and interest among the nations of Chris
tendon, and a consequent desire for a more in
Innate acquaintance with each others doings
through the medium of the Newspaper Press
1t seems hardly possible that thousands should
not henceforth regularly read their own journals,
who have hitherto been content with an occa-
sional glance at those taken by their neighbors
while many who have hitherto been content
with a weekly issue will now require a Semi
Weekly or Daily. In short, Intelligence, al
ways vital element of growth in wisdom, sue
cess in business, or enjoyment in life, has now
become Indispensable to ALL
The NEW WORK TRIBUNE, now more
than seventeen years old, which was the first
journal in the world that appeared regularly on
an imperial cight-pagc sheet, II so low a price
as two cents, and which has attained the I'M
paralleled aggregate of moro than 200, 900 sub
scriptions, respectfully solicits ifs share &c the
new patronage which the Metropolitan Press is
henceforh constrained, at heavy weekly cost
to deserve. 1t asks especially thepatronage and
active favor of REPUBLIC AYs-of those who hate
all forms of oppression, and desire that every
rational being shall be free to employ his facul-
ties in such innocent manner rs he shall deem
best-of those who would extend Liberty and
limit Slavery-but it further appeals likewise
to all who look and labor for the return of Ma
tional thrift, plenty, prosperity, through the
discriminating duties on imports-all who ia
vor National Progress through internal develop
ment and moderation rather than by external
aggression and extension---all who would ra-
Their have the National resources devoted to the
construction of Railroad to the Pacific rather
than to the purchase conquest Of Mexico
Nicaragua or Cuha-al who would retrench
radically our present inordinate Federal expen-
ditures by abolishing or immensely reducing the
Army and Navy, and expanding the money
thus saved on works OF benefcence which will
endure to bless our chldren-allwho profound
~ realize that " RIGHTEOUSNESS exateth n ma
ton, and that real advantage can never accrue
To any person or community from acquisitions
or success achieved by means which contravcne
the laws of Eternal Right. The free allotment
Of limited portions of the Public Lands to Act
ual Settlers thereon, and every hopeful plan in
tended TO diminish the sum of human misery
from dearth of employment or inadequate rec
ompensc-every scheme especially that seeks to
help the unfortunate by enabling and teaching
them to help teemselves--must command our
earnest sympathy and cooperation.
Within the present year, The TRIBUNE has
provided itself with new and faster press, at
scribers may receive their papers mail earlier
than they otherwise might do. With cores
pondents at the most important points through
ont the civilized world, and staff of writers
chosen from among the best IN the country. we
believe that even those who dislike the politics
of our sheet eoncede to it frankness in avowing
its convictions and ability in maintaining them.
We appeal, then, to those who believe that an
Increased circulation of THE TRIBUNE would
conduce to the political, intellectual and moral
well being of the Republic, to aid us in effect
ing such increase. As we employ no travelling
solicitors of subscriptions, we ask present
patrons in every locality to speak to their neigh
bors and friends in our behalf; we shall gladly
receive from any friend lists of those who would
receive and read a specimen copy of one OF our
editions, and shall be particularly grateful to
those who may send such names from post
offices at which we have now no subscribers
Whatever additions may thus be made to our
circulation shall be paralleled by increased eff
forts and expenditures to make our issues more
valuable and useful than they have hitherto
been.
The TRIBUNE is printed on large imperial
sheet, folded in quarto form, and mailed to the
