on the very day of its occurrence. In me-
ment, as it were, we have been thrown into the
immediate intellectual neighborhood 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

tho.gh silent transformation in the conditions,
of human existence has just been effected by
the little wire stretching across the oceaH'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,

hitherto been content with an occasional glance
at those taken by their neighbors; while many
who have hitherto been content with Weekly
issue will now require a Semi. Weekly or
Daily. In short, Intelligence, always vital
element of growth in wisdom, success in busi-
ness, 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 regu-
larly OH an imperial eight sheet at SO low q
price as two cents and which has attained the
unnarrelleled aggregate of more than 200, 900
subscriptions, 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 Republican -
those who hate all forms of oppression, and
desire that every rational being shall be free to
employ his faculties in such innocent manner
as he shall deem best-of those who would

ther appeals likewise to all who look and labor
for the return of N ational thrift, plenty, pros
perity, through the Protection of American
Industry by wisely discriminating duties on
Imports-all who favor National Progress
through internal development and melioration
rather than by external aggression and extern
sion-all who would rather have the National
resources devoted to the construction Of rail-
road TO the Pacific than to the purchase or con-
quest of Mexico, Nicarauga or Cuba-all who
would retrench radically our present inerdi-
nate Federal expenditures by abolishing 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 profoundly realize that
" Righteousness exalteth nation" and that
no real advantage can ever accrue to any per-
son or community from acquisitions or success
ses achieved by means which contravene the
lawssof Eternal Right. The free allotment Of
limited portions of the Public Lands to Actus1
Settlers thereon, and every hopeful plan intend
ed to diminish the gum of human misery from
dearth of employment or inadequate recom-
pense-every scheme especially that seeks t.
help the unfortunate by enabling them and
aching them to help themselves-must COM
mand our earnest sympathy and cooperation.
Within the present year, THE TRIBUNE
has provided itself with new and faster Prem
at cost of $4,000, merely that some of ,ur
subscribers may receive their papers mad
earlier than they otherwise might do. Viii
correspondents at the most important points
throughout the civilized world, and a staff Of
writer's chosen from among the best in the
country, we believe that even those who dis
like the politics of our sheet concede to il frank
ness 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 we'll being of the Repub-
lie. to aid us in effecting such increase. AZ
We employ no travelling solicitors of subscrip-
tons, we ask our present patrons in every To-
cality to speak to their neighbors and friends
in our behelf; 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 paa ticularly grateful to those whs
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 efforts and
expenditures to make our issues more valuable
and useful than they have hitherto been.
THE TRIBUNE is printed on a largo inn
perial sheet, folded in quarto fern, and mailed
