and inviting Western civilization to irradiate

| emplre-such are phases OF the news from abroad
| which the mails over all Continents and the
wires under all Seas are daily bearing to us.
With able and trusted Correspondents in the
| leading capitals, and wherever great changes arc
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-thrOugh all
| of which, as it fOndy trusts, the tOling masses
are everywhere struggling up to ward larger re-
cognition and a brighter future.
At home the struggle for Freedom seems over
The last slave has long been citizen the last
opposition to emancipation, enfranchise ment
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 turn
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 ottcors 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 as heretofore,
the champion of Equal Rights, irrespective of
Race, Nativity, or Color 1t stands infexiby
by the Amendments 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 endeavors 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 it
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 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 Landless 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-
| gether-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
years old, has endeavored to keep up with the
progress of the age in improvement and in en-
| terprise. 1t devotes large share of its col
umns to Agriculture as the most essential and
general of human pursuits. 1t employs the
dblest and most successful cutivators 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-
| the latest successes and failures, and 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 subordinate degree.
