THE NEW YORK TRIBUNE.


History of Human Progress. Henceforth Eu-
rope Western Asia and Northern Africa lie
within an hours distance from our shores, and
the battle which decides the fate of q kingdom,
the capture of q Vienna or Gibralter, the fall of
dynasty, the triumph of an usurpation, the
birth of an heir to 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, will be published in
New York the next morning, if not on the very
day of its occurrence. In moment as it
were we have been thrown into the immediate
intellectual neigborhood of the whole civilized
and large portion of the semi-barbarous world.
The rise and fall of stocks in London or Paris
will henceforth 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 have closed
an hour before can begin. A revo-
luton in Paris an important vote in Parliament
an insurrection in Italy, fire in Constantine
pie, will be discussued around the breakfast TIA
bles of New York a few hours after its occur
renee. 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 unexampled community of
tendon, and consequent desire for more in
innate acquaintance with each others doings
through the medium of the Newspaper Press
1t seems hardly possible that thousands should
not heneeforth regularly read their own journals,
who have hitherto been content with an occa-
sional glance at those taken by their neighbours;
while many who have hitherto been content
with weekly issue will now require 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 YORK TRIBUNE, now more
than seventeen years old, which was the first
journal in the world that appeared regularly on
an imperial eighth page sheet, at so low price
as two cents, and which has attained the I'M
paralleled aggregate of more than 100000 sub.
scriptions respectfully soicits its share of the
new patronage which the Metropolitan Press is
henceforth constrained, at heavy weekly cost,
to deserve. 1t asks especially the patronage and
| active favor of REpuBLI cANs-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 as 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
| Protection of American Industry by wisely
discriminating duties on impors--all who ia
vor National Progress through internal develop
ment and mehoratlon rather than by external
| aggression and eXtension-all who would ra-
| ther have the National resources devoted to the
construction Of Railroad to the Pacific rather
than to the purehas, or conquest of Mexico,
| Nicaragua or Cuba--all who would rercnch
radically our present inordnatc Federal expen-
ditures by aboshing or immensely reducing the
Army and Navy, and expanding the money
thus saved on works of benefcence which will
endure to bless our children-all who profound
| " realize that :" RIGHTEOUSNESS exalteth n ma
ton" and that real advantage can never accrue
to any person or community from acquisitions
or success achieved by means which contravene
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
ompense-evefy 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 a new and faster press ut
at cost of $50 900, merely that some of our SUBJ
scribers may receive their papers mail earlier
than they otherwise might do. With cores
pondents at the most important points through
out 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 concede to it frankness in ayowing
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 our 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 us 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 ef-
forts and expenditures to make our issues moro
valuable and useful than they have hitherto
| been.
