The TRIBUNE is not and will neyermore be a
| party organ; but it is ardently enlisted in the
contest now waging for Civil Service Reform
and for One Presidential Term Us essential to

| ical right and wrong, the needs and hopes OF
To-Day, and looks hopefully to Universal Am
| fraternity between North and South, and OF
mutual confidence and good Will between w White
to break the rusty shackIes of mere bygone par
tisanship, and it hopes for a result next NOvem-
Der which will cheer and strengthen the cham
pions OF Peace and Good Will. 1t will issue no
campaign edition, but profers to all who be-

Henceforth, the mission of our Republic is
one of Peaceful Progress. To protect the weak
and the humble from violence and oppression
to stimulate Ingenuity to the production OF new
inventions for economizing Labor and thus en-
larging Poduction- to draw nearer to each 9th
the producers of food and of fabrics, of grain
and of metals, and thus enhance the gains OF
industry by reducing the cost OF transportation
and exchanges between farmers and artisans
such is the inspiring task to which this Nation
now addresses ITSELF and by which itwould fain
contribute to the progress, enlightenment and
happiness of our race. To this great and good
work, THE TRIBUNE contributes It's Jealous, per-
sistent efforts.
Agriculture will continue to be more espec-

editions to which some of the abIest aud most
tribute. No farmer who sells $500 worth of pro-
duce per annum can afford to do without our
Market Reports, or others equally lucid and |
comprehensive. If he should read nothing else |
but what relates to his own calling and its re- |
wards. we believe thatnO farmer who can read |
