The Tribune for 1866.
PROSPECTUS,

The Military and Naval successes of 1891
with the suspicious result of cur Presidential
contest, have lifted heavy weight from the
breasts OF the Loyal Millions Of our countrymen.
1t is now felt, even by those who have been dis
trustful and faint hearted that the Union is to
emerge triumphant from the deadly strife where
into she was so wickedly precpitated by her
assailants, and that Slavery, her relentless foe,
/ Is TO encounter tho fate OF ilaman. The perils
OF foreign intervention and of Western insurrec-
! ton are safely passed; Abraham Linconn no
! longer assaiable the choice OF a minority
holds the helm of State for four years longer.
the Rebellion, palpably weakened by its defeats
and losses during the year new co.ing-with it
credit so seduced that its pufss-bearer officially
declares that It's Treasury Notes Can only be ex-
changed for cois at the rate OF twenty five for
one, while its bonds command but six cents on
tho dollar-but awaits the blow which shall soon
strike the sword from its parriciall hand and re-
init Its maste, spirits to tho justice, Or it may be
to the elemency, of sorely w,onged and Justly
incensed but forbearipg and magnanmous People.
such are the auspices which justify our faith that
the year soon to open will see the Stars and
stripes float unchalleuged from every battlement
IL the Republic, and the perfect law of Liberty
tor All ilnmoyable inbedled in tho Constitution
OF our Unoy.
TIE NEs-loRK TRIBUNE, founded in 1871,
Will enter upon its twenty fourth year with
qalckened hop and enlarged means of useful
ness. It's principles need no statement, its
aims are tbs ddusioa sf Intelligence and the
medication Of spirit Of Freedom an Iiumani-
ty. hen this truth shall have been generally
recognized and established as tho basis of our
institutions and polity, that iviustic. to the posr-
est, the weakest, the Aost despsed, is a fearful
mistake--that no community or state can stford
to wrens even its humblsst membcr-then will
our land basl once more in the calm sunshine Of
peace and prosperity.
Tue TRIBUNE has for the last year been pub
iished without profit to its tr0prictots solely be-
cause OF the depreciation Of our Currency below
the specie standard compelling US to buy paper
ana other materials at II cost considerably above
tho tuil amount received fro our Subscribers.-
On our Weekly edition, tho net loss has amounted
to many thousand dollars while our large re-
ce1pts from advertising Lave been wholly absorb
cd by the extraordinary expenses for correspond
ence, teegrapding, &c, deyolyed on us by the
War. As We do not suppose our patrons desire
that We should work tor them ut our own cost and
prefer not te be patroaiasd by any who may de-
sire 1t, We have somewhat advanced for the ensu-
ing year the prices OF Semi cekIy aud
Weekly, we had already done with those of
usr Daily editions. This increase is purely
nominal; there never before time WHEN the
farmers Of our country could buy The TRIBUNE
for 50 little OF their own products or labor as
they can by the following
