THE
NEW YORK TR1B UNE,
For 1879.


The consolidation of Italy, so long frag-
mentary and impotent, into one powerful
State. with Rome as its capital; the humili-
ating of France through series. of crushing
defeats, ending with the siege and capitula-
ton of her proud and gay metropolis the
expulsion of the Bourbons from the Spanish
throne, and the substitution for them of
scion of the most liberal among royal houses
the virtual absorption Of the kingdoms of
Saxony, Wurtemburg, Bavaria, with Baden,
Hesse. the Hanse Towns, etc., under the
beadship of Prussia, into the triumphant and
nowerfnl empire of Germany; and the arm
ing of Russia to reassert her preponderanee
in the Councils of Europe, or to prosecute
her often postponed but never reinquished
designs on the great city founded by Con-
stantine and the vast but decaying and an
archial dominion of the Sultan, all combine
to invest with profound interest the ever
changing phases of our tidings from the Old
World. The Tribune, through trusted cor
respondents stationed at all points IN Eu-
rope where great movements are in progress
or imminent, aims to present complete and
| instructive panorama of events on that con-
tinent, and to mirror the prolonged struggle
between middIe-aged Feudalism and Ecelesi-
asticism ON the one hand and Nineteenth
| Century skepticisIn and seeulalism ON the
other. Recognizing Divine Providence in
| all that proceeds and is, it looks hopefully on
the great conflict as destined like our own
recent eonvulsion) to evolve from strife, dis
aster. aud seeming chaos, a fairer and hap
pier future for the toiling masses OF mankind.
/ In our own country, a war upon corruption
and raseality in office has been inaugurated
in our City, whereby the government OF our
State has been revolutionized through an In
| itial triumph of Reform which surpasses the
most sanguine antieipations. 1t is morally
certain that the movement thus inaugurated
cannot, in its progress, be eireumscribed to
any locality or any party, but that its puri-
| flying influence is destined to be felt IN every
part of the Union, rebuking yenality, expos
ing robbery, wrestling power from politicians
by trade, and confding it in those worthiest
and tittest to WELD it. To this benefeent
and vitality needed Reform, The Tfibanc will
devote its best energies, regardless of per-
sonal interests or party predictions, esteem-
ing the choice of honest and faithful men to
office as of all New Departures the most es-
sential and auspicious.
The virtual surrender by the Democratic
party of its hostility to Equal Rights regard
less of Color has Invested our current poll
tics of half their bygone intensity However
parties may henceforth rise or fail, it is clear
that the fundamental principles which have
hitherto honorably distinguished the Repub-
licans are henceforth to be regarded as prae-
tically accepted by the whole country. Tho
right of every man TO his own limbs aud sill
ews-the equality of all citizens before tho
law-the inability of State to enslave any
portion of its peOple-the duty of the Union,
to guarantee to every citizen the full enjoy
ment of his liberty until he forfeits 1t by
crime-such are the broad and firm founda-
tons of our National editice and palsied be
the hand that shall seek to Gisplacc them!
Though not yet twenty years old, the R0pub-
: lican party has completed the noble fabric OF
, Emancipation, and may fairly invoke there
on the sternest Judgment OF Man and the be-
| nignant smile of God.
} Henceforth the mission of our Republic is
, one of Peaceful Progress. To protect the
: weak and the humble from violence and OPP
} pressien--to extend the boundaries and diff
fuse the blessings of Ciyilzation-to stilnlt-
: late Ingenuity to the production of new III
ventions for economizing Labor and thus
charging Produetion-te draw nearer to
, each other the producers of Food and Fab
t ries, of Grains and of Metals, and thus en-
t hanee the gains of Industry by reducing the
cost of transportation and exchanges between
| farmers and artisans-such is the inspiring
foa II tfav iaf lat
andby which it would fain contribute to tho
progress, enlightenment and happiness of OiIf

Agriculture will continue to be more es
pecially elucdated in its Weekly and Semi
= Weekly editions, to which some of the ables
. and most successful tillers of the soil vii
contribute. No farmer who sells $500 worti
of produce per annum can afford to do with
G out our Market Reports, or others equally
a. lucid and comprehensive. If he should read

S, ing and its rewards, we believe that no farm
L er who can read at al can afford to do with
ID out such journal as The Tribune. And W.
n aspire to make it equally valuable to thos'
Y, engaged in other departments of Productive
Labor. We spend more and more money OF
our columns each year, as our country men
generous patronage enables us TO do and W
