PAPER. :"
The New-YOrk Tribune

South and Tammany Hall. 1t declared
that against this danger the old party
of freedom. still the party of the
Churches and the School Houses, was
the only bulwark; and in behalf Of that
party, it renewed the old appeal to the
National conscience. and the enlight
ened self-interest of the tax payers.
In all this events have justified it
The year has disclosed the danger the
Tribune predicted, and brought the de
livcrance it promised. 1t now asks
those who think well of what it did in
this eventful year, to help widen yet
further its influence by increasing its
circulation for the next. 1t labored tC
harmonic the Republican party; to di
vert Republicans from attacks upon
each other to attacks upon the common
enemy. 1t exposed Southern claims
1t denounced the Southern suppression
of the negro vote. 1t resisted debase-
ment of the currency. 1t endeavored
to sustain the Treasury in advancing
to specie payments. 1t strove to pro-
mote practical reform in the Civil
Service. 1t indicated the legitimacy
of the Republican Administration. 1t
crushed assailants by demonstrating
the Infamous efforts of the Democratic
leaders to buy the Presidency they had
fairly lost at the polls. For these ser
vices a distinguished member of the
Administration has declared that the
Republican party and the country owe
the Tribune debt of gratitude so great
that, despairing of full payment imme-
diately, they must initiate the Treasury
and fund it! Leading Republicans out
side Of and even opposed to the Admin
istration, are everywhere heartily cX-
pressing similar opinions.
The Titue now warns the country
that, inspiring as the late elections
have been, they do not end the danger.
The Democrats and the Greenbackers,
if united, could have reversed the YER
dict They may be united next time.
They already have the Solid South to
begin with, as well as the evidence of
the control their union would give in
many Of the Western States. To pre-
vent such a union from sweeping the
country, we must keep the Republican
party in the highest state of discipline
and efficiency, and must educate the
voters, If friends know any better
agency for such political education
than the Tribune, by all means use it;
if not, they surely ought to make every
effort to push the Tibune's circulation.
The Tribune is now spending more la
Dor and money than ever before to de-
serve the distinction it has long enjoy
Il r Al tho
best people 1t is the only newspaper
in the country maintaining special
telegraphic wire of its own between its
office and the National Capital. Its
Washington dispatches are the fullest
anywhere published. Its London cor
respondent, George W. Smalley, is rec
ognizcd as the foremost in that field on
the American Press. Its other foreign
correspondence ranks exceptionally
high. Its scientific, religious and liter
airy intelligence is often fuller, and gen
orally more ncwsy than that furnished
by journals expressly devoted to these
specialties. Its critical departments,
all conducted by the old heads, remain
the acknowledged authorities:
Music. ..................Jo John r. &. HasSard
The Drama. William Winter.
Art ............ Clarence Cook.
THE sEMI-wEEKLY TRIBUNE
Is specially adapted to the large class
of intelligent readers too far from New
York to depend on its papers for daily
news. who nevertheless want the edlto-
rails, correspondence, book-revicws
scientific matter, lectures, literary mis-
cellany, etc, for which the Tribune is
famous. This is the cheapest, and fol
remote country readers, the best edl-
ton of the Tribune published. 1t con
tains sixteen pages, and is in conven-
lent form for binding 1t is far the
most successful Semi Weekly in the
CONTEMPLATING four times the circula-
ton Of any other in New York.
THE WEEKLY TRIBUNE
Remains the great favorite for our sub
stantial country population. y high
authority has said of it that THE
Weekly Tribune has done more to make
good farmers and good citizens than any
other single influence that has ever cx-
listed in this country It's now larger
than any Of it's rivals: its new form
Sixteen pages, carefully indexcd and
suitable for binding), has proved cx-
ceedingly popular, and its large, clear
type, so different from that of most pa
pers of this class, is special attraction.
Its agricultural department., under the
special management of an experienced
agricultural editor, with staff of sew
eral assistants, and large corps of
special contributors. is more carefully
conducted than ever. and it has always
been considered the best. Its market
reports are the official standard for the
Dairymen S Association, and have long
been recognized authority on cattle,
grain and general country produce.
There are special departments for the
young, and for household interests;
while poetry, fiction and the humors of
the day are all abundently supplied.
During the ensuing year there may be
also expected among other features:
a. "Some Personal "reminiscences Of
Early Anti-Slavery Work. by Oliver
johnson; CO. Further Contributions
on Southern Agriculture by Scion
Robinson; g. Occasional Papers on
Current Topics, by the Rev. John
Hall, d. d.; a. Occasional Contribu-
tons, ~ by Gail Hamilton; and other
attractive matter from writer's Of equal
note.
TWO PAPERS IN ONE.
The Weekly Tribune is now so ar
ranged as to make two complete and
separate papers Of eight pages each,
the first containing the news and poll
ties; the second the correspondence
fiction, poetry, household departments,
etc. Both sides of the family can thus
enjoy the paper at the same time
During the past year readers have
found this specially attractive and
convenient feature.
NO RIVALS TO COMPARE IT WITH
Both Weekly and Semi Wcehly Trib-
uue are now entirely unlike the cores
ponding issues from any other daily
Office in New ork wholly different in
form and appearance, with larger type,
and only comparable to the three and
four dollar religious or literary jour
nails. The price, however, remains so
far below theirs as to defy competition;
and the premiums are more valuable
and substantial than have ever been Of
fered by other newspapers.
