newspaper in America-wss doubted By many.
We have found our account in il. The circa-
lation of The Tribune ia steadilv increasing,
and our advertising patronage has increased 80
much that it is more difficult 70 print our news
Than when We used smaller sheet, and this
difficulty ve can only meet By frequently pub
fishing supplementary pages. =.
The close of the war has imposed upon The
Tribsne the discussion Of nomentus aud pecu
liar problems. We have met them as best We
could, iaboPing with sincerity for Freedom,
Social Progress, Political Equality, Impartial
Sufrage-All Rights for AL. A Republican
President became the enemy ofRepublicanism.
and We have been called upon 70 denounce and
expose the treachenes Of deGraded Admins

without much thinking, that We made issue

The necessity OF frotetion 70 Labor again
presses upon US. we regret that on this most
important measure the Republican party is d.
vided. An honest but mischievious minority
in the West, particularly are endeavoring 70
create policy which can only result in the
prostration of American lndustry-the degra-
dation Of Labor and tue sggrandizement Of
English capitalists. During the many years Of
our work We have struggled against this inter.
est. We believe Protection more necessary
now than ever before, ana We shall insist upon
the broadcast and wisest legislation for the
Rights of Labor.
In the perplexing question OF Reconstruction
we see no reason to amend the policy which We
have asserted since the close Of the war 1t
then seemed to us that Emancipation of the
Black should be followed by Suffrage for the
Black. We did not see the wisdom Of policy
of promiscuous coniscation and hanging. We
had too much hlod in war to ask for blood in
peace-eveu to crafty angry vengeance. 1t
seemed important that the South should con-
cede Suffrage, and that the North should con-
cede Amnesty Some of our friends disapproved
of this but Congress has followed our advice.
Amnesty has been approved BY Congress-to a
