Now, as always, The TRIBUNE labors with all
its heart for the promotion of tbs great ma
terial interests of the country. The progress

ment of our resources, the preservation of our
Land for the Landless and its rapid subjuga-
ton to human wants, the utilization of our vast
underlying Ores, the extension of the facilities
for bringing Producer and Consumer nearer to-
! gether-whatever tends to swell the ranks, in.
crease the knowledge and better the condition
of those devoted to Productive Industry finds
mention and encouragement in our columns.
! The WEEKLY TRIBUNE, now more than thirty
years old, has endeavored to keep up with the
progress of the age in improvement and in en-
terprise. 1t devotes a large share OF its col
umns to Agriculture as the most essential and
general of human pursuits. 1t employs the
/ dbest and most successful cultyators to set
forth in brief, clear essays their practical views
of the Farmers work. 1t reports public dis
cussions which elucdate that work gathers
| from every source agricultural news, the re.
| ports of the latest experiments, the stories of
! the latest successes and failures, and whatever
may tend at once to better Agriculture and to
commend it as the first and most important Of
progressive Arts, based on natural science.
The WEEKLY TRIBUNE appeals also to Teach.
ers, Students, and persons of inquirng minds,
by the character of its Literary contents, which
! include reviews of all the works proceeding
from the master minds of the Old or New
| World, with liberal extracts from thos" Of
especial interest Imaginative Literature also
| claims attention, but in n subordinate degree.
! Home Interests discussed weekly by
! lady specially qualified to instruct and interest
| her own sex, and the younger portion Of the
/ other. No column is more eagerly sought or
perused with greater advantage and profit than
hers. The News of the Day, elucidated by
brief comments, is so condensed that no
reader can deem it ditfuse, while given suf
/ iciently in detail to satisfy the wants of the
average reader. Selections regularly made
| from the extensive Correspondents Of The
DAILY TRIBUNE from every country, and its
editorials Of more permanent value here
reproduced. In short, The WEEKLY TRIBUNE
commend8 itself to Millions by minsterng to
their intellectual wants more fully than they
are met by any other journal, while its regular
reports Of the Cattle, Country Produce, and
other Markets, will of themselves save the
farmer who regularly notes them far more than
his journals price.
For the family circle of the educated farmer
or artisan, The WEEKLY TRIBUNE has no SUI
perior, as is proved by the hundreds Of thou.
| sands who, having read it from childhood, still
cherish and enjoy it in the prime and on the
down hill of life.A We respectfully urge those
who know its worth to commend THE WEEKLY
TRIBUNE to their friends and neighbors, and we
prOtier it to clubs at prices which barely pay the
cost Of paper and presswork.
