THE NEW YORK
TRIBUNE
1871.


Through struggle and sunering. at Che
cost Of mulitiform agonies, beroaVements.
devastations, the American Idea embodied
in the preamble OF our fathers Declaration
Of Independence approaches its complete
realization. The noble, Inspiring assertion
that % all men are created equal =" and en-
dOwed by their Creator with inalfenable
rights TO life, liberty, and the pursuit of
happiness, is no longer glittering geuaE-
ality, poets fancy, philosophers specu-
lation. but the recognized base OF our poiit
tcal fabric. The benign Revolution, which
dates from the Boston Massacre OF IT71.
finds its logical completion. Just one csnta-
~ later, in the XVIII Amendment. which
gives TO the equal political and civil rights
Of every man born or naturalized fla our
Republic the shield and defense ofthe Fed
eral Constitution. The billowa Of Caste and
Privilege may roar and rage around that
rock, and may transienuy seem on the
point Of washing 10 away; but its f0unda-
| tions are deeply laid and steadast, and the
! breakers Of Reaction and Slavery are hurI-
ed against and dash their spray over &c ln
vain.
We do not underrate the forces OF Preju-
dice and Aristocracy. We do not forget
that a very large minority OF the American
| People still hold in their fnmost hearts that
Blacks have no rights whites are bound to
| respect. We fully appreciate the dospera-
ton wherewlth all the warning elements OF
hatred 70 Republican achievement VIII be
combined and hurled against the battle
ments Of Republican ascendancy fn the
Presidential Election Of 1872. We do not
doubt that local successes, facilitated by
Republican feuds ana dlssensions, viii fu-
spire the charging host with a sanguin8
hope of victory, such as nerved 30 TO put
forth its utmost strength fu the earlier
stages Of the contests of 1864 and 1865. yet
our faith is clear and strong a. 1t the Amer
lean People still bless God that, on the red
! battle-helds Of our late Civil War, the Un-
ion war upheld and Slavery destroyed, and
viii never consciously decide that the
precious blood thereon poured out was lay
ished In vain.
THE TRIBUNE believes in the prosecution
Of the great struggle by legitimate means
to benehcent ends. To State soverei igntys
1t opposes fndisso1ubIe Natioual Integrity
to Slavery for Blacks, Liberty for All; 10
Prescription, Enfrauchisement; to Popular
Ignorance, Universal Education TO inten-
sity and eternity Of wrathful Hate, univer-
sal and invincible Good VIII. II would min
do its utmost to hasten the glad day
when the South shall vie with the North ln
exuItation and gratitude over the dlsap-
.
spirit which impelled Man to eEuit ln the
ownership and ChattelhoOd OF his fellow
Man.
Profoundly do we realize that the contest
is not yet ended-that Millions mourn
more or less publicly, the downfall Of the
slaveholders' Confederacy, and rear their
children to hate those by whose Valor and
constancy its overthrow was achieved III
we ever seem to differ essetiRuy from other
Republicans, our Conviction that magma
nfnity is never weakness, that vengeance i7
never polite, and that devils are not cast
out by Beelzebub, must serve to explain el-
legged eccentricities whose perfect viudica-
ton we leave to Time and Reelection.
THE TRIBUNE has been, is, and must be.
jealous advocate Of Protection to Home Iu-
dustry. Regarding habitual fdleneas as tho
greatest foe 70 human progress, the bane of
human happiness, we seek TO win our
eoun trymen in masses from the ensuarIug
lures Of Speculation, OF Traffic, and or ale
ways over-crowded Professions, TO the
tranquil paths Of Productive Industry. We
would gladly deplete our over-or0Wded
cities, where thousands vainly jostls and
crowd In misguided quest Of "Something
70 Do, +" to cover prairies and plains with
colonies absorbed in Agriculture, Machau-
les and Manufactures, and constantly pro-
jecting into the blank, void wilderness the
homes and the works Of civilized Man.
Holding the Protection Of Home Industry
by discriminating duties on imported
Wan es and fabrics essential to the rapid,
beneheent diffusion Of Production in an lts
phases and departments, and so 10 the in-
struction Ofour people in all the gaiuful
arts of Peace we urge our couutrymeu to
adhere 20 and uphold that policy, in un-
doubling faith that the true interest, not of
a class or a section and each section and
every useful class, is thereby subservod and
promoted.
THE TRBUSE aims to be prominently H
