The River Falls journal. (River Falls, Pierce County, Wis.) 1857-1861, 1859-02-23
The New York Tribune
1858-69.

TNHE successful laying of the transatlantic
Il Telegraph Cable marks new era in tho
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 a kingdom,
the capture of a Vienna or Gibraltar the fall
of dynasty, the triumph of usurpation, the
birth of an heir to royalty, the death of a Mic
holas or Wellington, in any country which
touches the Mediterranean, the Euxine, the
Black Sea or the German Ocean, will be pub
lished in New York the next morning, if not
on the very day of its occurrence. In a mo-
ment, as it were, we have been thrown into tho
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
from day TO day in the journals of our seaboard
cities. The boldest operators ia 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 so bes
fore ours can begin. A revolution in Paris AZ.
importont vote in Parliament, an insurrectioIf
in Italy, fire in Constantinople, will be dis
cussed around the breakfast tables of New York
a lew hours after its occurrence. A mighty
thorgh 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 Britists
America, and one inevitable result of this must
be an uncxampled community OFT feeling and
interest among the nations of Christendom, and
consequent desire for a more intimate ac-
quaintance with each others doings through
the medium of the Newspaper Press. 1t seeffR
hardly possible that thousands should not
henceforth read their own journals, who have
hitherto been content with an occasional glance
n oh lxytb as,rhh xrbl la
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 on an imperial eight sheet at so low a
price as two cents, and which has attained the
unparalleled aggregate of more than 5000
subscriptions, respectfully solicits its share OF
the new patronage which the Metroponta2
Press is henceforth constrained, at heavy
weekly cost to deserve. 1t asks especially the
patronage and active favor of Republicans
those who hate ill 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
extend Liberty and limit Slavery-but it fur
ther appeals likewise to all who look and labor
for the return of National thrift, plenty, pros
peritv, through the Protection of American
Industry by wisely discriminating duties On
Imports-all who favor National Progress
through internal development and Moderation
rather than by external aggression and exten-
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 inordi-
| 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--a1l 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
laws of Eternal Right. The free allotment Of
| limited portions of the Public Lands to Actual
Settlers thereon, and every hopeful plan intend
ed to diminish the sum of human misery from
dearth of employment or inadequate recon-
pense-evcry scheme especially tat seeks to
help the unfortunate by enabling them and
teaching them to help themselves-must COM
mand our earnest sympathy and corporation.
Within the present year, THE TRIBUNE
has provided itself with new and faster Press
at cost of 800 900, merely that some of our
subscribers may receive their papers a mail
| earlier than they otherwise might do. y it'll
| correspondents at the most important points
| throughout the civilized world, and staff of
| writers 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
l;c to aid us in effecting such increase. As
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 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 NAV 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.
