whatever may elucidate the general discussion
or action on these, IHE TRIBCSE 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 to its own political principles, THE
TRIBUNE is of course, hereafter as heretofore,
the champion of Equal Rights, irrespective of
Race, Nativity, or Color. 1t stands iuhexibly

The WEEKLY TRIBUNE, now more than thirty
wears old, has endeavored to keep up with the
progress of the age in improvement and in
terprse. 1t devotes large share OF its col
umns to Agriculture as the most essential and
general of human pursuits. II employs the
abest and most successful cutIvatorS TO set
forth in brief, clear essays their practical views
of the Farmers work. 1t reports public dis.

from every source agricultural news, the re-
ports of the latest experiments, the stories of
| the latest successes anu failures, anu 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 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. Imaginative Literature also
claims attention, but in a subordinate degree.
"Home Interests are discussed weekly by

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 dffusc, while given sut-

average reader. Selections are regularly made
from the extensive Correspondents OF HE

editorials of more permanent value are here
reproduced. In short, The W EEELY tribune
commends itself to Millions by ministering to
their intellectual wants more folly than they
are met by any other journal, while ITS regular

his journals price.
