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 Boursc, whose transactions will have closed
an hour or so before ours can begin. A revo-

renee A mighty though silent transformation
IN the conditions of human existence has just
been erected by the little wire stretching across
the ocean s bed from the coast of Ireland to that
of British America and one inevitable result
of this must be an unexampled community of
feeling and interest among the nations of Chris
tendon and a consequent desire for more in
innate acquaintance with each others doings
through the medium Of the Newspaper Press
It seems hardly possible that thousands should
not heneeforth regularly read their own journals,
who have hitherto been content with an
sional glance Mt those taken by their neighbors;
while many who have hitherto been content
with weekly issue will now require a Semi

The NEW YORK TRIBUNE, now more
than seventeen years old, which the first
journal in the world that appeared regularly on
an imperial eiglt-page sheet, at 50 low a price
MS two cents, and which has attained the UNI
paralleled aggregate of more than 200,0 600 sub
scrptions, respectfully solicits its share of the
new patronage which the Metropolitan Press is
henceforh 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-
tics In such innocent manner as he shall deem
best-of those who would extend Liberty and
limit Slvery--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 imports-all who ia
yor National Progress through internal develop
ment and Moderation rather than By external
aggression and extension-all who would IA
Their have the National resources devoted to the
construction of Railroad to the Pacific rather
| than to the purchase or conquest of Mexico,
Nicaragua or Cuba-all 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 OH works of bencficence which will
endure to bless our childrcn-all who profound
ly realize that " RIGHTEOUSNESS exalteth ma
ton" and that real advantage can never
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 20 diminish the sum of human misery
from dcardh of employment or inadequate rec
ompense--eyery scheme especially that seeks to
help the unfortunate by enabling and teaching
them to help teemseves-rnust command our
earnest sympathy and cooperation.
Within the present year, The TRIBUNE has
provided itself with new and faster press, at
at cost of $50 900, merely that some of cur sub
scribers may receive their papers a mail earlier
than they otherwise might do. With cores
pondents at the most important points through
out the civilized world, and a 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 finnkness in avowing
its convictions and ability in maintaining them.
We appeal, then, to those who believe that an
increased circulation of THE TRIBUNE would
eonduce 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 specimen copy of one of our
editions. and shall be particularly grateful to
those who may send MS 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.
