thou"L we sneak of three editions they
really form one journal. Each edition is
separate and distinctive. Each addresses spe-
cial audience, and is prepared to meet the wants
of that audience The Daily is the map OF
the busy world, the day living chronIcllng the
day dead representing in its columns every
important event the progress OF every ldea,
the whole volume of the worlds daily history.
The citizen reads at his breakfast of the troubles
of the worthless Queen of Spain, and the majes-
tic struggle of the long dormant Castilian intel
lect to throw of the burdens of superstition
and ignorance. lie reads with awe OF the ter
rible phenomena, worse than famine or pestl-
lcncc. which dcsoate the shores of the lower
Pacific And from these important events ne
hurrics to know the price OF corn. and to calmly
read the words that pleased him the evening
before rs they fell from the lips OF renowned
orator not emitting To read the advertisements,
which form very interesting portion OF the
history of the day and finally to know whether
his neighbol's child who was run over 10y car
is recovering or not Finally he Is pleased
to know what lessons these events teach, as
told in the editorial columns by men whose
business it is to read and comment This Is
our Daily Edition, and it is sold mainly to the
people Of the city and OF towns and villages
within days journey of New ork, although
il has a large general circulation throughout
the country.
The Semi-Weckly Edition is the condensation
of TIE DAILY TRIBUNE. 1t has literary fea-
lures which are of great value lu this edition

especially those recent books of fiction which

readers within scmi-wcclIy mails. Here we
print all the standard political documents and
speeches, and public statements, which are
thus published III form to give them perma-
nent value. We print of THE SEMI-WEEKLY
a large edition. and its steadily increasing cir
culation shows that it is growing into universal
favor. The Weekly Edition has attained
greater circulation than the othcrs-mainly be
cause a large portion of the American people,
and especially farmers, are only within range OF
weekly mail, and there is scarcely any hamlet
however far removed from the centers of civlli-
zation. that is not reached at least once week.
II Is through TIE WEEKLY TRIBUNE that
we address the greater number of our friends,
and the general acceptability of that news
paper may he imagined when we say that we
nrint 10000 copies, and address on an average
over a million OF weekly readers.
Two HUNDRED AND Forty THOUSAND! AL
most quarter of million, Thsis laTge num-
bcr and if any prophet had said on the morn
ing of the 1ith of September, 1871, when we
printed the first number of the Weekly, that IT
would ever mount up to this, or 70 any approx
mating figure, We should have said: Friend
" yonr vision is pleasing, and Heaven grant you
" see truly-but science will not admit OF this
growth or Of anything like it. We have not the
presses to prnt-we have not the Labor TO write
even the mailing wrappers" With the growth
of THE WEEKLY TGIBU NJ. science has taught
gifted men to smooth the way for us. Mr.. Hoe
has given his presses lightning speed-and from
England We have the art OF instantaneous
stereotyping-wh enables us 10 print the
same matter on all our presses at the same
time, thus enabling us to print and NAV IhL
WEEKLY TRIBUNE in n day and night.
ANp SOW FOR A HALF MILLION COPIES
We are coming to the close of the year, when
farmers and housekcepers make their arrange
ments for the new year. We are prepared to
circulate half million of copies, and we pro-
pose to show how and why this may be done.
|. We print the largest. best, aud cheapest
weeLIy nsrSpdper IN Americd.-1his we do not
say in dspangcment of other excellent jour
nails or in a spirit of Boosting. 1t is because
we publish in New York, and draw our re-.
sources of news, and business, and intellect,
from the rich and busting metrOpos-it is
because we have behind THE WEEKLY TRIB-
uNr the discipline and strength of a great daily
ncwspaper-that we are enabled To produce 1t
at a less cost than any rival in business.
H. We make a great deal OF money, and spend
a gyedt dedl Of mOney.--Our friends sustain us.
and we show our appreciation 10y constantly
improving ohr paper. We reserve small mar
gin of profit, and depend for our revenues
upon the yastness of our business. We can
print TIE WEEKLY for about what it costs in
white paper, because we print two other
editions, widely circulated, and yielding large
revenues. We have organized our news, cor
respondence, and editorial departments beyond
the reach of successful competition.
III. THE WEEKLY TRIBUNE is the cheapest
publication IN America.-Clubs of fifty are fur
nshed the paper at dollar year to mail
subscribers, rhen sent TO one address. For this
dollar we give work which, printed in the
ordinary way OF literature, would make book
as large ms IN encyclopedia and in duodecmo
form, in clear type, il would fill the space of
ffty-two volumes in a library. THE WEEKLY
TEBUNE, therefore, reduces literature to
cheapncss beyond which it is not possible To go.
". TnE WEEKLY TElBUNE is q Teacher and
a Prcdcher-The farmer who desires to sur
round his children with good influences, to
make home sweet and pleasant and attractive,
should put a newspaper within the reach OF all.
We guard the couyns Of The WEEKLY TRIB-
GNE with Jealous care. We print nothing either
