THE NEW YORK TRIBUNE

For 1879 THE TRIBUNE hopes TO con-
tinue with increasing success, the work and
the methods which through the year now
ending have won such popular approval and
borne such ample fruit
A yesr ago The TRIBUNE pointed out the
danger to the tranquIlityof of the country, to
the Treasury. the currency and the National
honor, from the alliance then forming be-
tween the Solid South and Iammany Hall;
Ii declared that against this danger the OLD
party of freedom, still the party OF the
Churches and Uf the Schoolhouses, was the
only bulwark; and in behalf of that party, 1t
renewed the repeal to the old National con-
science. and the enlightened self-ipterest Of
the tax payers.
In all this events have justified it. The
year has disclosed the danger The TRIBUNE
predicted and brought the deliverance II
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 to
harmonic the Republican party; TO divert
Republicans from attacks upon each other to
attacks upon the common enemy 1t exposed
Southern claims Ii denounced the Southern
suppression uf the negro vote. Ii resisted de-
basement Of the currency. 1t endeavored to
sustain the Treasury in advancing to specie
payments 1t strsve to promote practical
reform in the Civil Service. 1t vindcated
the legitimacy of the. Republican Administra-
ton 1t crushed assailanis by demonstrating
the infamous efforts OF the Democratic leaders
to buy the Presidency they had fairly lost at
the polls For these services distinguished
member of the Administration has declared
that the Republican party and the country
owe TIE TRIBUNE debt OF gratitude SO
great that, despairing of full payment imme
diately, they must initiate the Treasury and
fund it! Leading Republicans outside Of and
even opposed to the Administration, are eve
rywhere heartily expressing similar opinions.
The TRIBUNE 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 re-
versed the verdict. They may be united next
time. They already have the South to begin
with. as well as the evidence of the control
their union would give in many Of the West
ern States To prevent such a union from
sweeping the country, we must kesp the Re
publican party in the highest state OF discl-
pline and efficiency, and must educate The
voters. If friends know any better agency
for such political education than The IRI-
BUNE, by all means use it; if not, they surely
ought to make every effort to push IHE lRI-
BUNEs circulation.
THE Tribune is now spending more labor
and money than ever before to deserve the
distinction ii has long enjoyed of the largest
circulation among the best people. 1t is the
only newspaper in the country maintaining
special telegraphic wire of its own between
lis office and the National Capital. Its Wash
ing dispatches are much the fullest anywhere
published Its London correspondent, George
W. Smalley, is.recognlzed as the foremost IN
that field, on the American Press. Its other
loreign correspondence ranks exceptionally
high. Its scientific, religious and literary in
telligence is often fuller, and generally more
pewsy than that furnished by Journals ex-
pressIy devoted to these specialties. It's crit
ical departments, all conducted by the old
heads, remain the acknowledged authorities

THE SEMI WEEKLY TRIBUNE
Is specially adapted to the large class of intel
liyent readers too far from New York to dc
pend on its papers for the daily news, who
want the editorials, correspond
ence, book-reviews, scientific matter, lectures,
literary miscellany, ETC., for which FHE TRI-
RUNE is famous. This is the cheapest, and,
for remote country readers, the best edition
of The TRIBUNE published. 1t contains SIX
teen pages, and is in convenient form Tor
binding. 1t is far the most successful Semi
Weekly in the country-having four times
the circulation of any other in New York.
THE WEEKLY TRIBUNE
Remains the great favorite for our substan-
tial country population. A 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 existed in this country" 1t is
now larger than any of its rivals: its new
form sixteen pages, carefully indexed and |
suitable for binding), has proved exceedingly
popular, and its large, clear type. so different
from that Of most papers of its class, is a
special attraction. Its agricultural depart
ment, under the special management OF an ex
Derienced agricultural editor, with a staff of
several 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 stand
lrd for the Dairymen's Association, and have
ong been the recognized authority on cattle,
grain and general country produce. There
are srecial departments for the young, and
Tor household interests; while poetry, fiction,
md the humors of the day are all abundantly
supplied During the ensuing year there may
llso be expected, among many other features:
I J Some Personal "reminiscences of Early
Anti>Savery Work, by Oliver Johnson; e.
Further Contributions on Southern Agricul-
ure. by Solon Robinson; (3) Occasional Pa
1ers on Current Topics, by the Rev. John
Hall, D. D.; a. Occasional contributions by
Jail Hamilton, and other attractive matter
from writers of equal note.
TWO PAPERS IN ONE.
THE WEEKLY TRIBUNE is now so arranged
IS to make tlo0 complete and separate papers
IF eight pages each, the first containing the
news and politics; the second, the correspond
,nce. fiction, poetry, household departments,
etc. Both sides OF the family can thus enjoy
he paper at the same time. During the past
year readers have found this specially at
tractive and convenient feature.
NO RIVALS TO COMPARE 1T WITH.
Both Weekly and Semi w eekly Tribune are
now entirely unlike the corresponding issues
from any other daily Office in New York
wholly different in form and appearance, with
larger type, and only comparable to the three
and four dollar religious or literary journals.
The price, however, remains So far below
theirs as to defy competition; and the premi-
ums are more valuable and substantial than
have ever been offered by other newspapers.
