The Tribune has been, is, and must be, q
jealous advocate of Protection to Home Indus |

est foe to human progress. the bane of human !
happiness, we seek to win our counsrymen il |

to and uph Id that policy, in undoubiing faith |
that the true interest, not Of class or a sec |

The Tribune aims to be pre- -eminently |

tic field. are 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 interest. We have paid for one days

If the reading public, will enable us to make a

We aim to make The Weekly Tribune such
