White Cloud Kansas chief. [volume] (White Cloud, Kan.) 1857-1872, 1865-01-05
The Tribune, for 1865.
PROSPECTUS.

Inc Military ana NaVaI successes OF 1904,
with the auspicious result of our Presidential
contest, have lifted heavy weight from the
breasts of the Loyal Millions of our country men.
1t is now felt, even by those who have been
dissrustfI and fant-hearted, that the Union is
to emerge triumphant from the deadly strife
whereinto she was so wickedly precipitated by
her assailants. and that Slavery. her relentless
foe, is to encounter the fate of Haman. The
perils of foreign Intervention and of Western
instruction are safely passed; ABRAHAM LIN
coLs, no longer assailable as the choice of a
minority, holds the helm of State for four years
longer; the Rebellion, palpably weakened bv
its defeats and losses during the year now clos
ing-with its credit so reduced that its purse
bearer officially declares that its Treasury Notes
can only be exchanged for coin at the rate of
twenty five for one, while its bonds command
but six cents N the dollar-bGt awaits the blow
which shall soon strike the sword from its par
ricidal hand, and remit its master-spirits to the
Justice, or it may be to the cemency, of a slrel
" wronged and justly incensed but foibearing
and magr animous People. Such are the auspi-
ces which justify our faith that the year soon to
open will see the Stars and Stripes float unchal-
lenged from every battlement in the Republic,
and the perfect Law of Liberty for All immova-
bly, imbedded in the Constitution of our Union.
THE NEW YoRK TRIBUNE, founded in 1S4l
will enter upon its twenty fourth year with
quickened hopes and enlarged means of useful
ness. Its principles need no re statement: its
aims are the diffusion of Intelligence aud the
incubation Of spirit of Freedom and Humani-
ty. When this truth shall have been generally
recognized and Established as the basis of our
Institutions and polity, that injustice to the
DO rest, the weakest. the most despised, is a
fearful mistake-that no community or State
of IN IA buu1hiesf ynamhar
then will our land bask once more in the calm
sunshine of peace and prosperity.
The Tribune has for the last year been pub
lshed without profit to its prOprietors, solely
because of tho depreciation of our Currency be-
low the specie standard, compelling US to buy
paper and other materials at cost considerably
above the full amount received from our sub
scribers. On our Weekly edition, the nett loss
has amounted to many thousands Of dollars;
y bile our large receipts from Advertising have
been wholly absorbed by the extraordinary ex-
penses for Correspondence, Telsgraphing, &C.,
devolved on US " the War. As we do not sup
pose our patrons desire that We should work for
them at our own Cost, and prefer not to be pat
rorized BY any who may desire 1t, we have
somewhat advanced for the ensuing year the
prices of our Semi Weekly and Weekly, as We
had already done with those of our Daily edi-
tons. This increase is purely nominal: there
never before was a time when the farmers of
our country could buy The Tribune for SO little
Of their own products or labor as they can by
the following
