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,

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

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 seryitor of any political party; nor will it
surrender even waive its right to criticise 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 TRIBUNE labors with all
its heart for the promotion Of the great ma
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 Landess 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-
pether-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
wears 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
ablest and most successful cultivators to set
forth in brief, clear essays their practical views
of the Farmers work. 1t reports public dis
cussions which elucidate that work; gathers
from every source agricultural news, the re-
ports of the latest experiments, the stories of
the latest successes anu ldlluTcS, anu WHdteNcT
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 inquiring 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 those of
especial interest. Imag inative Literature also
claims attention, but III a subordinate degree.
"Home Interests are discussed weekly by a
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 diffuse, while given suf
6ciently in detail to satisfy the wants of the
average reader. Selections are regularly made
from the extensive Correspondents of The
DAILY TRIBUNE from every country, and its
editorials of more permanent value are here
reproduced In short, The WEEKLY TRIBUNE
| commends itself to Millions by ministering 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 su.
| perior, asis proved by the hundreds o. thou-
sands who, having read it from childhood, still
cherish and enjoy it in the prime and on the
| down hill of life. We respectfully urge those
| who know its worth to commend The WEEKLY
| TRIBUNE to their friends and neighbors, and we
proifer it to clubs at prices which barely pay the
cost OF paper and presswork.
