History Of Human Progress. Hcnceforth Eu-
rope, Western Asia and Northern Africa lie
within an hours distance from our shores, and
the battle which decides the fate of kingdom,
the capture of a Vienna or Gibralter, the fall Of
a 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 il
were, we have been thrown into the immediate
intellectual neigborhood of the whole civilized
and large portion of the emi-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 or before ours can begin. revo-
luton in Paris, an important vote in Parliament
an instruction in Italy, fire in Constantine
PIE, Will be discussued around the breakfast ia
blcs OF New York 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
feeling and interest among the nations of Chris
tendon, and consequent desire for q more in
innate acquaintance with each others doines
through the medium of the Newspaper Press
1t seems hardly possible that thousand should
not henceforth regularly read their own journals,
who have hitherto been content with an occa-
sional glance at those taken by their neighbors;
while many who have hitherto been content
with weekly issue will now require O Semi
Weekly or Daily. In Short Intelligence, OIL
ways vital element Of growth in wisdom, sue
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 eight-page sheet, at so low prico
as two cents, and which has attained the un-
paraeled aggregate of more than 200, 900 sub
scriptons, respectfully solicits 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 REBUILT CANS of those who hate
all forms of oppression, and desire that every
rational being shall be free to employ his facuf-
ties in such innocent manner rs he shall deem
best-of those who would extend Liberty and
limit Shvery-but it further appeals likewise
to all who look and labor for the return of Ma
tional thrift, plenty, prosperity, through tho
Protection OF American Industry by wisely
discriminating duties on imports-all who fla
vor National Progress through internal develop
ment and moderation rather than by external
aggression and extension-all who would ra-
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
thrrS
endure to bless our hildren-all who profound
~ realize that +" RIGHTEOUSNESS exalteth 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-every 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, at
at cost of $50, 900, merely that some Of our sub
scribers may receive their papers mil earlier
than they otherwise might do With cores
pondents at the most important points through
ont the civilized world, and staff of writer's
chosen from among the best in the country We
believe that even those who dislike the politics
of o'r sheet concede to it frankhess 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
oors 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 eff
forts and expenditure to make our issues more
valuable and useful than they have hitherto
| been.

sheet, folded in quarto form, and mailed to the
