THE NEW-YORK TRIBUNE.
1S57-S-
TIME TRIBUNE was first isssed az n Daily
L on the 10th of April, ls4l. Its weekly
edition was commenced in September Of the
sam C car its Semi W eekly in May, lSd5. 1t
was the first daily in America to issue double
or eight page sheet at low price, and it has at
least even with the foremost OF its rivals in the
rapid ex pansion of Newspaper enterprise, which
the great extenton OF Railroads, and the estab
lishment Of the Telegraph system have crowded
into these last sixteen evcntful years. No lar
ger journal is oiorded at SO low price in any
quarter Of the world; none in America, no mat
ter at what price issued, paws an equal amount,
weekly or monthly, for intellectual labor 1t
employees correspondents regularly in the lead
ing capitals Of Europe, and at the most impor.
tant points on this continent, with q liberal staff
OF writer's and reporters at home. regarding full
| early and accurate information as the first ob-
iect of Newspaper, and the timely and through
slucidaion thereof as the chief end of its Ciio-
| rias. In that spirit, I'll T. TRIBUNE has been
| and will be conducted, extending and perfect
| ing it. corrospoItcfce so fast MS the increase
of its patronage will justify the expense. Shsuld
the current attempt to connect the OH with the
| New W srld by the magnetic wire prove success
| ful, we shall very soon, at heavy cost to our
| selves and, we trust, a corresponding advantage
to our rea lers publish each morning synopsis
| of tho preceding days occurrences throughout
! .,,I -,
with regular reports Of the markets, the mone;a-
ry aspects and harvest prospects Of lithcr Eu-
rope With good atlas beside him and his
daily paper on his freside table, the American
| farmer or artisan within days ride of the city
may then study evening the doings OF the cvi-
zed world throughout the day preceding; and 1t
seems hardly possible that any VIII can read, hut
especially one who has children tn educate will
longer deny himself the pleasure and profit of
daily journal. The same is true measurably
of those who live further inland theugh where
mails are intrequcnt, Semi. Weekly, or even q
| Wedkly paper, may seem sufficient.
THE TRIBUNE deals with questions of Pc
litcal Economy, Public Policy Ethics Material
progress, and whatever may affect the intcIIcctu-
al, Moral, Social and Physical well being of
mankind, dogmatic Theology alone accepted
Its leading idea is the honering of honest useful
Work in whatever sphere or capacity, and the
consequent elevation of the Iaharing Class in
knowledge, virtue and general esteem. 1t is ne
bessarv hostile to Sla' er; under oil its aspects,
to Inlemperance in whlteyer form or degree
1 with its accessories, to War save in the defence
n Of Country and Liberty against actual invasion,
n and 10 every form of Gambling. Desiring to see
i Production extended and encouraged, while wild
Il Speculation and useless Traffic are curiailed, it
u favors the policy Of sustaining and dversiiying
4 I,.l, l,.
policy which tends to increase the price Of Grain
II to the farmer Nhile diminishing that of Bread
d to the artisan, by reducing the distance across
h which their respective products are exchanged
and, Of course, reducing the cost of their transfer
Il Regarding Filbus,erism in all its phases, and
i every form and device of National eovetousness
n with unqualified adherence as the bane Of Re-
j publics and IN their triumph the Grave of Equal
h Human Rights, we seek by every means 10 woo
=, and win the attention of our counttymcn from
- projects of aggrandizement abroad to en'erprises
. of deveopement and henefeence at home fore
y most among which rank Railroad through
Z the heart of our territory TO connect the waters
ii of the Atlantic with those Of tue Pacific. Be-
u9ieving that the goods of this life Lot ye; fair
eily distributed, and that no one ready to work
y should ever famish in unwilling likeness, it lends
. \ Jan open ear to every suggestion of Social I'm
. provement which does not counterva the die
tates ofeternal Morality nor war upon that ma
tura right OF every one TO whatever he has fairly
produced honestly acquired, whose denia
must sink mankind into the chaos and night Of
barbarian and universal squaor. With a pro
found conscienciousness that oilers, drunkards
lbertnes and profiga,es can never be other (n
! the main) than needy and wretched, it bears
i alot the great truth that Prevention is better
v than Plnishment-that the child trained up n
q the way he should go, will rarely in after year.
% desert that way for the thorny paths of Vice and
kI Crime-that a true Education-Re Religious, Mo
"a raj and Industrial well IhtelIectual-is the
si most effective temporal sntdotc to the errors anl
nd woes of our race. Recognizing in the most de-
he graded specimen of Humanity divine spari
,e which slsuld be reverently cherished, not ruth
lessly rodden out, we have charity for all forms
| of evil but those which seek personal sdYentag,
of through die debasemem of cur fellow beings
an The champoe of no class or caste, the tetotet
All of no secl, would fain be the interpreter Il
IN each Other of mems better impulses and aspira
m TONS the harbinger of general concord between
n. Labor and Capital, and among those whom cir
1, lcumstanc.s or misapprehensions have throw
ii into unnatural antagonism 4 coiemporar,
\ lonce observed that he never knew hard grasp
a bng, nigardly employer who did not hate TIL
y. TRIBUNE, nor generous large souled, kind
- lone, willing to live and let live, who did not lik
ht. We ask no higher praise no warmer attes
Itstion.
The circulation cf THE TRIBUNE is q
dis time as follows: Daily $4,000 copies
; Weekly, l76,s00 copies Semi Weekly, 1000
y copies California and European, 6,O00 copies
\ Total, 23a,se0 copies ! hat of the SemiWeeh

y eotemporafies. Had our hostility to Huma
q Slavery and the Liquor Traffic been more guar,
" 81 and polite, our Daily issues would now
some thousands heavier and our Advertising {,
more lucrative; bu. of our patronage general
We have NJ reason, no wish, 10 complain.
