THE TRIBUNE FOR 1867.

Of enlarRing our paRes-thus making The Tr,oune
the lar est and the cheapest newspaperin Amerca-
in H. The circulation of The Tribune is steadily in,
creasing and advertising patronage has increased
so much that it difficult TO print our news tnah
when we used q smaller sheet, and this ditfculty we
can only meet by frequently publishing supplementary
pages.
The close of the war has imposed upon The Tribune
the discussion of mones ,ous and peculiar problems
We ave met them as bests we could laooriny with

ISM and we have been called upon 70 dsnounce ana
expose the treaeheries of degraded Administration
1t not without pain, certainly not without niucu
thinking, that made an issne With RE sident john

duty OF the country-potical reconstructon--reeon-
struction in finances and tariffs. We are no longer
pressed by war necessities, and we must amend our
war experiments The present condition of the cur
renee is grevious evil. Trade suffers our manufac-
turing interests are in precarlous state. oouar

sixty cents it may be ten. 1t is sentiment. net
fact. When the laberer earns bis dollar he does not
know Whistler he has one Loaf of breaa or zen. Al
business is feverish and unsettled. We think this
can only be remedied by wise and intrepid policy at
Washington-by reducing the currency to the specie
ba sis. Upon this shall insist ~ F&s l& " zee
The necessity of Protection to Labor again presses
upon u.s. We regret that this most important mea-
s6rs the Republican party IS divided. An honest out
mischievous minority in the West, particularly, are
ecdeavoring to create a policy which only result
in the prostratiou of American lndusry-the degrade
ton Of Labor aud the aggrandizement OF Enghsn
capitalists. During the many years OF our WORK we
have struggled against this We believe Pro-
lection more necessary than BEFORE and we
shall insist upon the broadcast and wisess iegS'aoo
for the Rights of Labor.
In the perplexing question of Reconstruction see
no reason amend the policy which we have assert
Cd since the css Of The ss oa.s q S Ss
Suffrage for the Black. We did not see the wiseom
of a policy of propiscuous confscation and hanging
We had too much blood in war to ask tor blood IN
peace--even to crafty angry vengence. 1t seemed
important that the South should concede Suffrage,
ana that the North should concede Amnesty some
OF friends disapproved of this; but Congress mas
followed our advice Amnesty has been approved oy
C0ngress-t0 greater extent than we Claimed IN ne
Tribune. We have held that the men who starved
captives in rebel dungeons, who murdered surrender
ed prisoners who violated the rules oil war and aidea
the assassination Of Mr.. Lincoln, should be tried and
punished. Congress and the Administration have
agreed that no punishment should be inflicted even
on men who are charged with these crimes, and the
only measure looking like punishment is tie amend
nent of Acknowledgement from holding Office which
is merely sentimental and not practical penalty
On the other hand the passage OF the Clvii Rights
Bill tie Freedmans Bureau H and the Bill tor Suf-
frage in the District of Columbia show that recon-
strueton will not be consnmmated without suffrage and
protection for the Blacks The pohcy OF he irleune
has been practically adopted BY those who differed
with us dnring its discussion. We do them the JUS
tce of believing they 20 their way to what IS right
just trust they will do US the l1stice OF believing
we go our way to what is fright. We work tor the
same object but perhaps in different ways We have
higher aim than to secure peace to TINS nation ana
to all naons-5erty progress, happiness vs ,n;s
we shall continue to toll in our best way.
We have reorgauixed and strengthened every de-
psrtnert of The Tribune. We have correspondents
In every part of this country and in every country in
the world resident correspondents IN every eaptai
and commcrcial center Of Europe and South Am rca ;
special correspondents who follow important move
nents in all parts of the earth. This establishment
costs great deal of money, and TO organize 1t we
have invested many thousands Of dollars. men we
indirectly connected with the editorial department OF
The Tribune, charged, in greater az lesser degree,
with writing for its columns ana e'vire news ana
that for every item of news pay money, the vast
expense of our publication may De imagined. we M
tend 10 enlarge these facilities, and not only 10 gather
newsfrun al parts of the world butto ask the most
gitea men of other countries write fcrour columns
With many of them We have already entered into ne
go,atons which will result in giving TO the readers OF
The Tribune series of that. both Tor their IN

Frien,ss of impartial Justice and Progress! we
greet You the bright prospects before u.s. frencs
