SPECIAL NOTICES.
THE TRIBUNE FOR 1887.

TIE TRIBUNE enters upon tho year 1867 more
 osperous in business than ever before. The ex-
 liency Of e1larging our pages-thus making HE TIIeUNE the largest and cheapest newspaper
 America-was doubted by many We have found
 r account in it. The circulation of IrE TRIBUNE
 steadily increasing, and our advertising patron
 has incfea5ed so much inst 1t is moro difficult
 print our news thar when we used & smaller beet, and this difficulty we can only meet by fre- lently publishing supplementary pages.
 The close of the war has imposed upon HE RIBUNE the discussion of Tnomontous and pocul- F problems. We have met them as best We buld, laboring with sincerity for Freedom, Social Fogress, Political Equality, Impartial Suffrage. Il Rights for All, A Republican President be- alne the enemy of Repubcanism, and We have een called upon to deaounce and expose the feacheries Of ! degraded Administration. It was Spt without pain, certanly not without much think hg, that We made an issue with President John pn. Tho people approved our course by return hg their radical Representatives to power. The lections of 1S6G-as important to the nation as ee's surrender--r1ake new duties. Reconstruc- on Is how the duty Of the country political re- in finances and taria.

 The necessity of Protection to Labor again press eS upon us We regret that oI this most impor- tant measure the Republican party is divided. An honest but inischievous minority in the West par ticuiariy are endeavoring to create policy which can only result in the prostration Of American h. dustry-the degradation of Labor and the aggran- dZement of English capitalists. During the ma ny years of our work we have struggled against 'his interest. We believe Protection more neces- sary now than ever before, and we shall insist up- the broades and wisest legislation for the Rights of Labor
 In the perplexing question of Reconstruction, Re see no reason to amend the policy which we .avc asserted since the close of the war. It then Ieemed to us that Emancipation of the Black honId be followed by suffrage for the Black. We id not see the wisdom of policy of promscuous 1 and hanging. We had too much blood n war to ask for blood in peace to gratify 1 ngry vengeance. 1t seemed important that the 1 ,outh should concede Suffrage and that the North hould concede Amnesty Some of our friends ur advice. Amnesty has been approved by Con- ,ress to q greater extent than VIC claimed in TIE 'RIBUEE. We have held that the men who starved aptives IT Rebel dungeons, who murdered sur endered prisoners who violated the rules of WAT, nd aided the assassination of bIr Lincoln should e tried and punished. Congress and the Admin stration have agreed that no punishment should e inflicted even upon men-who are charged with
 
 is the amendment of disfranchise- lent from holding office, which is merely senti- lental and not practical penalty. On the other and, the passage of the Civil Rights Bill, the reedmans Burea Bill, and the Bill for Suffrage in ne District of Columbia, show that reconstruction Ill not be coIsii;nmated without suffrage and pro- ,ction for the Blacks. The policy of THE TRIBUNE | as been practically adopted by those who differed ith us during it's discussion. We never quarrel ith friends who arc impatient with us. We do rem the justice of believing they go their way to hat IS right just as We trust they will do us the !stce Of believing We go our way to what is right. 'e work for the same object but perhaps iIt diff rent ways. We have no higher aim than to se- Ire peace to this nation, and to all natons-lib- 'ty, progress. happiness, virtue, and the univer- u brotherhood of man. And for this shall 1ntinue to toil in our best way.
 We have reorganized and strengthened every apartment of THE TRIBUNE. We have corres- ondents in every part Of the country and in every suntry of the world; resident correspondents in very capital and commercial center of Europe and outh America; special correspondents who follow nportant movements ill Ill parts of tho earth. nd to organize il We have invested many thous- nds of dollars. When state that there are l hree hundrod people directly or indirectly con- | sected with the editorial department of TIE TRf- 1 JUNE, charged in greater or less degree, with | writing for its columns and giving it news, and hat for every item of news we pay money, the .ast expense of our publication may be imagined. We intend to enlarge these facilities and not only Q gather news from all parts of the world but to .sk the most gifted men of other countries to write for our columns. With many of them we nave already entered into negotiations which will result in giving to the readers of THE TRIBUNE | erles Of essays that both for their intrinsic value md the fame of their illustrous authors will long Dc memorable in the history of journalism. We postpone for the present more definite announce nent. Friends of Impartial Justice and Progressi We greet you on the bright prospects before us, Friends of TIE TRIBUSEEl we appeal to those who believe that the increased circulation of THE TRI- scNE would conduce to the political, intellectual .1d moral well being of tho Republic to aid us in eifecting such increase.
