The XXth Volume Of the Weekly Tribune COM
menced with the issue Of Sept. |. During the past
year the Tribune has been obliged to devote quite a
large proportion Of its space to politics, but We shall
soon be able to foregO Political discussion almOsten-
tirely, for months if not for years, and devote near
ly all our columns to subjects Of less intense, bat
more abiding interest. Among these, We mean to
pay especial attention to
l. EDUCATI0N-The whole subject Of educa-
ton, both popular and general, will be discussed in
our columns throughout the year 1891, and we hope
to elicit in that discussion some Of the prOfOundest
thinkers and the ablest Instructors in cur country
1t Is at once our hope and our resolve that the cause
Of education shall receive an impetuy from the ex-
ertions Of the Tribune in its behalf during the y0aT
1861.
III. AGRICULTURE.-We have been compelled
to restrict our calculations Of this great interest
throughout 1860, and shall endeav0r TO atone there
for in 1861. Whatever discovery, deduction, dem
OHstTation, is calculated to render the reward of
labor devoted to cultication more ample or more
certain, shall receive prompt and fun attention.
III. MANUFACTURES, &e-We hail every in
VentiOn OF enterprise whereby American Capital and
Labor are attracted to and advantageously employ
ed in any department Of Manufacturing and Ne
chanieal Industry asa real contribution to the Pub
lie Ward, insuring amplcr, steadier, more cOnven-
lent, more remunerating markets to the Farmer
with fuller employment and better wages to the La
orer. The progress Of Mining, formulating, Steel
Making. Cloth-Weaving &c, &c, in our country and
the world, shall be watched and reported By US with
an earnest and active sympathy.
". FOREIGN AFFAIRS.-We employ the best
correspondents in London, Paris, Turin, Berlin, and
other European Capitals, to transmit US early and
accurate advices of the great changes there silently
but certainly preparing. In spite Of the pressure
of Domestic Politics, our News from the Old World
is now varied md ample but we shall have to rem
der it more perfect during the eventful year just
before rs.
v HOME MEWS-We emnIov regular CORES
pOndents in California. at the Istbmus of Darien, in
the Rocky Mountain Gold Region, and Hhersver
else they seem requisite. From the more accessible
portions of our own country. we derive our inform
alton mainly from the multifariOuS correspondence
of the Associated Press, from our exchanges, and
the occasional letters Of intelligent friends. We
aim to prinl the cheapest general newspaper, with
the fullest and most Authentic summary Of useful
intelligence, that is anywhere Afforded Hoping TO
"make each day a critic on the last" and print q
better and better paper from year to year. as our
meansare steadily enlarged through the generous
cooperation Of our many Well-Wishers, We solicit.
and shall labor to deserve, a continuance Of public
favor.
