THE NEW YORK TRIBUNE--Is57-s.

ly edition was commenced in September of the
same year; its Semi Weekly in May, 1875
| II was the first daily in America to issue dou-
bic or eight-page sheet at low price, and Il has
kept at least even with the foremost OF its rivals
in the rapid expansion of Newspaper enterprise,
which the great extension Of Railroads, and the
establishment of the Telegraph system have
crowded into these last sixteen sventful years.
No larger Journal is afforded at so low price in
any quarter Of the world; none in America, no
matter at what price issued, pays an equal
amount, weekly or monthly, for intellectual la
bor II employs correspondents regularly in the
leading capitals of Europe, and at the most i'm
portant points on this continent, with liberal
stan Of writers and reporters at home, regarding
full, early and accurate information as the first
object of q Newspaper, and the timely and
thorough calculation thereof as the chief end Of
its Editorials. In that spirit, the Tribune has
been and will be conducted, extending and per-
feeting Its correspondence fast as 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 a heavy cost to our
selves, and, we trust, a corresponding advantage
to 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 hithe- Europe.
With good atlas beside him and his daily pa
per on his Preside table, the American farmer or
artiZan within q days ride of the city may then
study each evening the doings Of the civilized
world throughout the day preceding; and it
seems hardly possible that any who can read,
but especially one who has children to educate,
will longer deny himself the pleasure and profit
of daily journal. The same is true measure
ably of those who live further inland; though,

even Weekly paper may seem sufficient.
THE TRIBUNE deals with questions ofPo-
lihcal Economy, Public Policy. Ethics, Material
Progress, and whatever may affect the Intellec- |
tual, Moral, Social and Physical well-being OF
mankind, dogmatic Theology alone excepted. /
It's leading idea is the honorng 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

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
Tarif-a policy which tends to increase the
price of Grain to the farmer, while diminishing

lance across which their respective products are
exchanged, and, Of course, reducing the cost Of
theirtransfer. Regarding Fillibusterism in all
its phases, and every form and device of Ma
tional covetousness, with unqualified adherence
as the bane of Republics, and in their triumph
the grave Of Equal Human Rights, we seek By

life not vet fairly distributed, and thatno one
ready to work should ever famish in unwilling
idleness, it lends an open ear to every sugges-
ton of Social improvement which does not cOun-
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 blrbarism and universal squalor.
With profound Consciousness that idlers, drunk
