such ample fruit.
4 wear ago THE TRIBUNE pointed out the
danger to the tranquility of the country, to
the Treasury, the currency ana the Natlohai
honor, from the alliance then forming between
the Solid South and Talnmany Hall. 1t de-
clared that against this danger The o'd party
of freedom still the party of the Churches ana
the SchoolhOuses, was the only bulwark; ana
in behalf of that party, 1t renewed the
old appeal to the National conscience, and
the enlightened self-interest Of the taxpayers.
In all this events have justified it. The year
has disclosed the danger THE TFIDUNE pre-
dicted, and brought the deliyeIance 1T prom

THE tribune now warns the country that,
inspiring as the late elections have been, they
do not end the danger The Democrats and
the Greenbackcrs, if united, could have re

time. They already have the Solid South to

TIE TRIBUNE Is now spending more labor
and money than ever before to deserve the
distinction it has long enjoyed of the largest
circulation among the best people 1t is the
ONLY newspaper in the country maintaining
special telegIaphic wire OF its own between Its
Office and the National Capital. Its Washington
dispatches are much the fullest anywhere
publshed. It's London correspondent, George
w. Smalley, is recognized as the foremost IN
that field on the American Press. Its other
foreign correspondence ranks exceptionally
high It's scientific, religious and literary IN
telligence is often fuller and generally more
newsy than that furnished by journals ex-
pressly devoted to these specialties. Its
critical departments. all conducted by the old
heads remain the acknowledged authorities
