FIRsT-oLAss NEWSPAPER.
TIE CHICAGO TRIBUNE, while fearless In the ex-
preston OF its opinions and patriotic in its endeaV
aims to be a FIRsT-cLAss NEWSPAPER 1t brings
the news TO the people of the Northwest, several
days sooner than the papers OF the seaboard, and
surpasses all its contemporaries in the Northwest
in every department of news enterprise.
1t discusses every subject of interest to Western
men-moral, political, literary, commercial and d.
nancial. Western merchunt farmer, banker,

sell bushe of wheat, corn oats or a pound Object
or pork without reading the market reports of THB

his wares, no mechanic the product
of his hands, without first consulting its well filled
accurate and reliable commercial columns.
