N. Y. TRIBUNE FOR 1867.


TIE TRIBUNE enters upon the year 1867 more
prosperous in business than ever before. The
cXpcdiency of eniarging our pages-thus max
ing THE TRIBUNE the largest and the cheap
est newspaper in America-was doubted by
many. We have found our account in it. The
circulation ofTuE TRIBUNE is steadily increas-
ing, and our advertising patronage has increas-
ed SO much that ii is more difficult to print our
news than when we used a smaller sheet. and
this difficulty we can only meet by frequently
publishing supplementary pages.
The close of the war has imposed upon THE
TKibUNEthe discussion of momentous and pc.
culiar problems. We have met them as best
we could, iaboring with sincerity for Freedom.

certainly not without much thinking, that we
made an issue with President Johnson. The
people approved our course ny stunning their
radical representatives to power. The eiec-

war necessities, and we must amend our war

bat its fraction. 1t may be sixty cents, IL may
be ten. 1t is n sentiment, not n fact. When
the laborer earns his dollar, he does not know
whether he has one loa! OF bread or ten. All
business is feverish and unsettled. We think
this can only be remcdied by wise and in
trepid policy at WashingtOn--by reducin the
cnrrency to the specie basis. Upon this We

we have asserted since the close OF the war.
IT then seemed to us that Emancipation OF the
Black should be followed by Suffrage for the
Black. We did not see the wisdom OF a policy
of promiscuous confiscation and hanging.
We had 10 much blood in war to ask for bio u
in peace-eyen to crafty angry vengeance.
1t seemed important ina, that TIE south Should
concedc Amnesty. Some OF or friends disap-
proved OF this; but Congress has followed our
advice. Amnesty has been approved lay Con-

Congress and the Administration have agreed
that no punishment should be inflicted even
upon men who are charged with these crimes,
and the only m ensure look ing like punishment

and nota practical penalty. On the other
hand, the passage of the Civil Rights Bill, the
