expediency OF ehiarging our pages-tnus max
ing The Tribune the largest and the cheapest
newspaper in America-vas doubted by many.
We have found our account in il. The circu-
lation of The Tribune is steadily increasing,
and our advertising patronage has increased SO
much that it is more difficult 10 print our news
than when We used . smaller sheet, and this
difficulty Nc can only meet by frequently pub
fishing supplementary pages.
The close of the var has imposed upon The
Tribune the discussion Of momentus aid pecu
liar problems. We have met them as best We
could. laboring with s,scerity for Freedom,
Social Progress, Political Equality, Impartial
Sufrage-An Rights for Ali. A Republican
President became the enemy Of Republicanism.
and We have been called upon to denounce and
expose the trescheries Of degraded Admins
tration. IL was not without pain, certainly not
without mnch thinking, that We made issue
with President johnson. The people approved
our course BY returning their radical rept eseut
atives to power. The elections OF l666-as
important to the nation as Lees surrender
make new duties. Reconstruction is now the
duty Of the country-political reconstruction
reconstruction in finances and tariffs. We are
no longer pressed BY var necessities, and we
must amend ouI war experiments. The pres
ent condition Of the currency is grevious evil.
Trade suffers our manufacturing interests are
in a precarious state. A dollar does not mean
q dollar, but its fraction. Il may be sixty cents,
it may be ten. 1t 10 a sentiment. not q fact.
When a laborer earns bis dollar, he does not
know whether he has one loaf Of bread or ten
All 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 basis. Upon this we
shall insist.
The necessity of Protection to Labor again
presses upon US. We regret that on this most
important measure the Republican party is d.
vjed. An homes. but mischievious minority
| in the West particularly, are endeavo1ing to
create policy which can only result in the
prostration of American Industry-the degra-
dation of Labor and the aggrandzement 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, and we shall insist upon
the broadcast and wisest legislation for the
Rights of Labor.
10 the perple King 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 a 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 . brt Congress has followed our advice
