never be undone; and, with whole people
thus united ON the grand platform OF al
rights for all, whereto our bloody struggle'
and the prolonged civil contests that fol
lowed, have led us, the Republic closes the
records Of the bitter, hateful past, and turns
peacefully, hopefully to the less alarming
because less vital problems OF the future
To whatever may elucidate the general DIS
cussion or action on these, the Tribune gives
amplest space and most impartial record.
Whatever parties may propose, whareVer
political leaders may say, whatever ofhcers
NAV do, is fairly set down in its columns,
whether this news helps or hinders its own
views It's readers have the right to an hon
est statement Of the facts; and tins they al
ways get.
But as to its own political principles, the
Tribune ia OF course, hereafter as heretofore,
the champion OF equal rights, regardless OF
race nativity or color. 1t stands inf1ex1bly
by the amendments for the permanent secur-
ity of those rights, which have been solemn
" Incorporated by the people in the Constr
tuition Of the United States. Independent OF
all political parties, it endeavors to treat
them all with judicial fairness. 1t labors to
purify the administration 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 cor
dial support. But it can never be the seryi-
tor OF any political party nor will It surren,
der or even waive its right to eriticise and
condemn what is wrong, and commend what
is right in the action OF any parties or of any
public men,.
Now, as always, the Tribune labors with
all its heart for the promotion of the great
material interests of the country. The pro
gress OF invention and of labor-saving, the
development OF our resources, the preserve
ton Of our land for the landless and its rapid
subjugation to human wants, the utilization
OF our vast underlying ores, the extension of
the facilities for bringing producer and con-
sumer observation-disclosures tends to swell
the ranks, increase the knowledge and bet
ter the condition of those devoted to produe-
tive industry finds mention and encourage
ment in our columns.
The Weekly Tribune, now more than thirty
