THE NETWORK TRIBUNE.



Through struggle and suffering, at the cost Of null
torm agonies bercayements, dcvastations the Amer
lean idea embodied in the preamble to fathers
Declaration Of Independence approaches It's complete
roaz The noble, inspiring assertion that FALL
are created equal and endowed by their Creator
with nalenable rights to life liberty, and the pursuit
Of happiness, ia longer gittering generality,
poets fancy, a philosophers speculation, but the
recognized baac Of our political fabric. The benign
Revolution, which dates from tho Boston Massacre Of
1870, finds It's logical completion just one century
later in the XVIII Amendment, which gives to the
equal political and civil rights of every born or
natnalized in Republic the shield and defense Of
the Federal Constitution. The pillows Of Caste and
Privilege may and rage around that rock, and
may transiently seem the point Of washing It away;
but It's foundations are deepaid aud steadfast and
the breakers Of Reaction and Slavery hurled against
and dash their spray over it in vain.
We do not undorrate the forces Of Prejudice and
Aristocracy. We do not forgot that very large
minority Of the American People st hold in their In
most hearts that Dlncks have rights which Whites
are bound to respect We fully appreciate the desper.
alton whcrewith all the warning elements Of hatred to
Republican achievement will be combined and hurled
against the battements Of Republican ascendency in
tho Presidential Election Of 1872. We do not doubt
that local successes facilitated by Republican fcuds
and dissensons, will inspire tho charging host with
sangu inc hope Of yicory, such norved it to put
forth its utmost strength in the earlier stages Of the
contes ts Of 1904 and 1868 Yet our faith H clear and
strong that American People still bless God that, on
the red batte-Geds Of late Civil War, the Union
was upheld and Slavery destroyed and will never con-
sciousy decide that the precious blood thereon poured
out was laylshed IN vain.
THE TRinUsE believes In the prosecution Of the
great struggle by legitimate means to bonnoent ends
integrity; to Slavery Tor Dacks, Liberty for All to
prescription, Acknowledgement; to Popular Ignorance
Universal Education; to intensity and Eternity Of
wrathfu Hate, universal aud nvinciblo Good VIII. Il
would fau do its utmost to hasten the glad day when
the South shall vic with the North in emulation and
gratitude tho disappearance Of tlc last trace
faint Of that spirit which mpo,d Man to ozut III the
ownership and cha.telhood Of his fellow Man.
Profoundly do we realize that the contest - nat vet
onded-that Millions mourn, or less publicly, tie
downfall Of the Shareholders Confodcracy and rear
til cir children to hate those By whose yaur and con
stancy its overthrow was achieved If We over to
differ essentially from other Republicans, our conyic-

ties whose perfect yindication leave to Time and
Reelection.
TIE TRmUSE has been, is, and must be, Jealous
advocate of Protection to Home Industry. Regarding
habtua dleness the greatest foe to human progress
the bane of human happiness, We seek to win our
countrymen in masses from the ensnaring lures Of
Speculation, of Traffic, and Of always oyercrowdod
Professions to the tranquil paths OF Productive
try We would gladly deplee our oyercrowded cities,
where thousands vainly oste and crowd in misguided
quest OF "something to Do, to cover prairies and
plains with colonies absorbed in Agriculture, Mechan
les aud Manufactures, and constantly projecting into
the blink void wilderness the homes and the works of
civilized Man, Holding the Protection OF Home In
dustry by discriminating duties on imported Wares
and Fabrics essential 10 the rapid, benoccnt dlu-
sion of Production in all its phases and departments,
and to the instruction Of our people in all the gain
full arts of Peace, urge our to adhere to
aud uphold that policy, in undoubting faith that the
true interest," not Of class or section, but Of each
section and every useful class is thereby suhseryed
and promoted
THE TRIBUNE aims to be preemlnently Newspaper.
Its correspondents traverse every State present
every important battlefield early advised of every
notable Cabinet decision, observe the proceedings Of
Congress, Of Legislatures, and Of Conventions, and
report to us by telegraph all that seems Of general in
terest. We have paid for days momentous ad-
vises from Europe by Gable far more than entire
receipts for the issue in which those advises reached
readers If lavish outlay, unsleeping vigilance,
and unbounded faith in the bernity and dscernmont
of the reading public viii enable us to make journal
which has superior in the accuracy, variety and
freshness Of its contents The TRIBUNE shall be such
a journal
To Agriculture and subseryient arts, we have de-
voted, and shall persstenty devote, more means and
space than any Of our rivals We aim to make THE
WEEKLY TRIBUNE such paper as no farmer can afford
to do without, however widely his politics may differ
from Our reports Of the Cattle Horse Produce,
and General Markets, are so full and accurate, our
essays in eucdation Of the Farmers Club and kindred
gatherings interesting that the poorest farmer
will find therein mine Of suggestion and counsel, Of
which he cannot remain ignorant without positive and
serious loss. We sell The WEEKLY to Clubs for lees
than its value in dwellings for waste-paper; and,
though its subscription is already very large, he
lieve that a Half Million more formers will take II
whenever it shall be commended to their attention.
We ask our friends everywhere to aid us in so
mendng it.
