empire such are phases ofthe news from abroad
which the mails over all Continents md the
wires under all Seas are daily bearing to Us.
With able and trusted Correspondents in the
leading capitals, and wherever great changes are
in progress. The TRIBUNE aims. at whatever
cost, to lay before its readers the most prompt,
complete, and popular presentment of these
diverse and conflicting movements-,hrough all
of which, as it fondly trusts, the toiling masses
/ are everywhere struggling up SEru larger re-
| cognitiou and brighter future.
| At home the struggle for Freedom seems over
The last slave has long been citizen; the las,
! opposition to emancipation, enfranchisement
equal civil rights, has been formally abandoned
No party, North or South, longer disputes the
result of the War for the Union; all declare that
these results must never be undone; and, with
a whole people thus united on the grand plat
form of All Rights for All, whereto our bloody
, struggle. and the prolonged civil contests that
followed have led Us, the Republic closes the
records of the bitter, hateful Past, and turns
peacefully, hopefully, to the less alarming be-
cause less vital problems of the Future. To
whatever may elucidate the general discussion
or action on these, The Tribune gives amplest
space and most impartial record. Whatever
parties may propose, whatever political leaders
may say, whatever officers may do, is fairly set
down in its columns, whether this news helps or
binders its own views. Its readers have the
right to an honest statement of the facts and
this they always get.
But as to its own political principles, The
TRIBUNE is of course, hereafter heretofore,
the champion of Equal Rights, irrespective of
Race, Nativity, or Color 1t stands irfiexibly
by the Anne ndments for the permanent security
of those Rights, which have been solemnly in.
corporated by the People, in the Constitution of
the United States. Independent of all political
parties, it endeayors to treat them all with judi.
cial fairness. 1t labors to purify the admins.
tration of Government, National, State, and
Municipal, and whenever those in authority,
whether In National, State, or Municipal affairs,
take the lead in this work, it will therein give
them its cordial support. But it can never be
the servitor Of any political party; nor will II
surrender or even waive its right to critcise and
condemn what is wrong, and commend what is
right in the action of any parties or OF any pub
> lie men.
Now, as always, The TRIBUSE labors with all
:, he, 10 of the m a.
terial interests of the country. The progress
of Invention and of Labor Saving, the develop
ment of our resources, the preservation OF our
Land for the I4andiess and its rapid subjuga-

for bringing Producer and Consumer nearer to-
