THE TRIBUNE FOR 1874.

/ and transmission of intelligence from all parts
of the world had been largely increased its staff
of editors correspondents and reporters, bad been
| strengthened by the engagement of some of the
abest men in the profession and the editor was
resolved to spare neither pains nor money in the
| effort to make THE TRIBUNE the very first news
paper in the world.
| 1t points to the achievements of the last
! twelve months with pardonable pride. While
! THE TRIBUNE has retained all the excellent fea-
! lures that made it such 4 fayorite in former DAYS
| it has exhibited an enterprise and an acuteness
! in its news department which have been the
wonder of all its old friends. Remembering that
the chief function of daily journal is to give its
| readers the fullest, the best arranged, the most
attractive, and the most readable history of the
occurrences of the time, il has devoted its bes:
energies TO this business, and its success has
been universally recognized and appauded. The
year has been fruitful of startling events, and
every incident has found in THE TRIBUNE its
promptest, most accurate, and most perfectly
equipped historian. A Tribune correspondent
was the only civilian who witnessed the surren-
der of the Nirginius and his picturesque descrip-
tOn of that transaction, transmitted by tele-
graph is the only account the public has yet seen
an incident upon which depended for many
weeks the question of peace or war. THE TRI-
BUNE published the only full and exhaustive ac-
count by Atlantic telegraph of the terrible Vile
du Havre disaster, giving all the incidents of
that catastrophe ten days before other journals
received them by the slow course of the mails.
II disanced all competitors in its thrilling story
by cable of the adventures of the Polaris casta-
ways. 1t anticipated every other paper in the
country, and even the Government itself, by its
graphic narratives of Custar's battles on tie
Yellowstone. The elaborate and deeply interest
ing letters of its special correspondent in the
West gave the only complete account of the Far
mers' Movement ever published in an Eastern
paper. The reports of THE TRIBUNE presented
the important proceedings of the Evangelical
Alliance in this city with a fullness and accuracy
everywhere the subject of enthusiastic praise.
During the panic its daily history of Wall street
made il absolutely indispensable to business men;
and its special correspondents afterward de-
scribed the condition of affairs in the manufac-
turing districts with an ability which no other
paper seriously rivaled.
While il never can be a neutral in politics,
THE TRIBUNE is entirely independent of all par
ties ard partisaus. 1t believes that the mere
gan of clique cannot be thoroughly good
newspaper, and cannot be trusted for impartial
and just comment upon current events. Ii main
tains with the Old feryor and will always defend
the Republican principles of equality ihd justice
with which, under the control of its illustrious
founder, HORACE GREELEY it was for over thirty
years identified. But it values parties solely as
means for procuring honest government on sound
principles.
That there is popular appreciation of that
sort of independent, vigorous, cnterprising, aud
hgh-toned journalism of which THE TRIBUNE is
now the chief representative in this or any other
country, is sufficiently proved By the results Of
the past twelve months. The close of 1873 finds
this paper more prosperous than it has been at
any previous period of its history, and the new
year opens for it with the most brilliant pros
poets. In 4 short time its mechanical facilities
will surpass those of any other journal in the
world; and on the completion of its new and
magnificent building it will be enabled to intro
duce various improvements of the most impor-
tant character.
THE SEMI-WEEKLY TRIBUNE.
The Semi-Weekiy TRIBUNE has grown very re-
pidly in public favor of late. In addition to a
careful summary Of the news it contains all the
best of the foreign and domestic correspondence
and leading articles of the Daily 1T gives spe-
cially the scientific intelligence (incuding the
proceedings of all American scientific societies.
with the best of the book reviews, and the mis-
ceaneous matter relating to education, the arts,
religion, &c. Ii has all the commercial news
and market reports all the agricultural articles
of the Weekly and gives, moreover. regularly
serial work of fiction, presenting in the course of
the year three or four Of the productions OF the
most popular novelists. AS il takes only q few
select advertisements, il is enabled TO give an un-
usually large proportion of reading matter, and
may be called, considering the extent and varie-
ty of its contents, the cheapest newspaper in the
world. 1t is published every Tuesday and Fri
day, and reaches nearly every post Office east of
the Mississippi within one or two DAYS of its is
sue.
TIE WEEKLY TRIBUNE.
The Weekly TRIBUNE has been for the space of
a generation the Farmers favorite paper. Be-
sides a complete condensation of the news of the
week, selection of literary and miscellaneous
reading, and full page of the best editorials
from the Daily, it contains in every number
greater amount of agricultural matter than is fur
nished by any distinctiyely agricultural paper.
This is prepared expressly for its columns by
the best agricultural writers and practical far
mers in the United States and "a its contribu-
tors are in every part of the country il will be
found equally valuable in New-Engand, in the
South OF the Pacific slope, or in the Mississippi
Valley. Great attention is paid to all subjects
connected with the Farm, the Garden, aud the
Household, and some of the original articles eve
ry week are illustrated with wood-cuts. The
market quotations Of farm produce, cattle, pro-
visions. breadstufis, dry goods, and all kinds of
merchandise, are exceeding full and scrupulous-
ly accurate. The utmost care is bestowed upon
the typographical arrangement of the paper, anC
the print is always clear and legible and gener-
ally larger than that of any other New-York pa
per.
