cess in business or enjoyment in life has now
become Indispensable to all.
The NETWORK TRIBUNE, now more
than seventeen years old, which was the first
Journal in the world that appeared regularly on
an imperial eg't-page sheet, at so low price

of our sheet concede to it frankncss 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 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 n specimen copy of one of our
editions, and shall be particularly grateful to
| those who may send such names from post
offices ut which We have now no subscribers
Whatever additions may thus be made to our
circulation shall be paracled by increased ef-
forts and expenditures to make our. issues more
valuable and useful than they have hitherto
been.
