THE POLICY OF PROTECTION.
Experience is constantly demonstrating the
necessity of oar government adopting and
steadily adhering to the Protective Poli
cy, instead of establishing and maintaining
a system of low duties laid with a view to
revenue alone. It is but a year since the cof
fers of the General Government were filled to
overflowing, while the balance of trade was
against us, says an exchange, ten millions of
dollars. This balance of trade had to be ad.
justed in specie, and the extraordinary demand
arising from this cause produced the suspen
sion by the banks and the financial embarrass
ment of the past, and the consequent deficien
cy of the national revenue of the present year
Common sense tells us that it is the Tariff
policy which has prevailed in tbia country
since 1847 a policy dictated by the south, the
chief staple of which, cotton, finds its princi
pal market in England which has mainly pro
duced this state of affairs'. Our manufacturers
find by sad experience, that under the present
rate of duties, they cannot compete success
fully with their foreign rivals, and must there
fore succotnb to a policy dictated upon the
country by the southern wing of the Democrat
ic party a policy which has exhausted the
Treasury of the nation and forced the govern
ment to resort to Treasury notes and loans to
meet the necessary expense of the Union.
Whenever our government has protected the
Industry of the nation, the people have been
prosperous, and when a different policy has
prevailed, the contrary effect has been produ
ced. From the close of the war of 1812,
with Great Britain, we had a period of free
trade until the tariff of 1S24. Prostration and
distress followed the excessive importation of
that time, ami a period of shin-plasters and ex
ceedingly low prices was the result, as many
of the old men among us recollect very well.
In 1824 a protective tariff law was passed, and
times revived, and so well pleased was the
whole country that in 1828 Congress was in
duced tomako the tariff still higher, which
produced the nullification movement in South
Carolina and the compromise of 1832, under
which, ia 1840, the duties were brought as low
os 20 per cent. All who were old enough at
the time to remember anything about public
affairs, know of the crash which occurred in
1837, and the depression which continued
until the passage of the tariff act of 1842, from
which time the country revived and prospered,
until the effects of the opposite policy, which
we aro now experiencing, began to show them
selves. This policy was adopted in 1847, but
owing to unusual circumstances nmong which
may be enumerated the famine in Ireland and
the discovery of gold in California its effect3
were for a time neutralized ; but they are now
felt, and must continue to be, until the man
ufacturing interests of the nation receive the
fostering care of the government.
Chapix 17 all. The nomination of Chanin
Ilall, of Warren County, as the People's can
didate for Congress in this District, meets
with a hearty approval in every county, and
has excited the wrath and lury of the Lecomp
tonites, who are already villifying and slan
dering him. He is, however, a man of too
good character to be injured by such attacks.
The Jefferson Star speaks of hint thus :
"Mr. Ilall is not a professional politician, but
Is conversant with the history and doings of
the political parties of the country. lie was
a regular 'Jackson Democrat' iu former days,
but owing to the wicked schemes of 'latter
day' Democratic leaders their entire, abso
lute desertion of well and long established po
litical doctrines their efforts to plant Slavery
on territory dedicated to freedom, in defiance
of the will of the people residing there, caus
ed him to sever his connection with the bogus,
Lecompton Democracy, and to adhere to the
Constitution ofthe nation and the lessons
taught by Washington, Jefferson and the other
Fathers of this Republic'
"Mr. Hall has been engaged in the Lumber
business for years, is, decidedly, one of the
people, and therefore is properly the People's
candidate for Congress. In him we have a
candidate on whom we can rely in the Halls of
Congress to carry out tho will of his constitu
ents. Every lover of consistency in political
action will rally to his support. The word has
been pronounced by the people of this Dis
trict, that that man, Mr. Gillis, who has mis
represented this section of country in the
Halls of the nation, and violated every pledge
which he made time and again In this and all
the counties of the District, Ghall receive a
merited rebuke at the coming election."
; Tho Harrisburg Daily Telegraph is decided
ly the best news paper we know of, and if any
one wishes to procure a paper from the State
Capital, we would advise him to subscribe for
the Telegraph. .
It is reported (that in Warren county James
Lecompton Gillis has but few supporters be
sides the postmasters. Thty are always sound
on the "mule" question.
THE C0XGEESSI03AL CANDIDATES.
For the "Raftsman's Journal.'''
Mr. Row: I see by your paper of the 1st
inst. that a Mr. Hall, of Warren county, is the
rcopie's candidate forCongrfss in this Dis
trict. 1 would simply ask, Who i$Mr. Hall,
and what were his political predilections pre
vious to tne Kansas excitement ? I ask these
questions not merely from curiosity, but be
cause 1 icel an interest in the election of a
man who will at least regard the wishes of his
constituents, and carry out in Congress the
principles upon which he was elected, which
I hold the present incumbent did not do, but,
to the contrary, most wantonly violated. .
1 have never voted anything but a Demo
cratic ticket for State offices, since I polled
my first vote, nor do I wish to ; yet the course
of J. L. Gillis in the last Congress was such
a flagrant misrepresentation of the wishes of
the people of his district, as well as of the
principles advocated by the Democratic party
during the campaign of I806 and those incul
cated by the Cincinnati Platform, that I for
one cannot tamely Mihmit to and yield him
my support again in 1858. The popular sov
ereignty question in that campaign was tho all
absorbing question, the one which elected Mr.
Buchanan to tho Presidency, and the one
which elected Judge Gillis to Congress from
this District; and little did I think at that
time, when Senator Bigler and other promi
nent orators of the day were advocating the
right of popular sovereignty in the Territo
ries, that they were doing it for political effect
only, and that so soon as they were installed
in their high positions, by the people, they
would forget all their pledges and protestations
to the dear people, and insult their intelligence
by a direct violation of all their pledges. I,
sir, am one who will repudiate such a course
in a representative, and teach him that he can
not to-day give a pledge to the people and to
morrow violate it, without calling down upon
himself the just indignation of an insulted and
outraged constituency, be that man even in
name a Democratic Congressman. I am a
ware, sir, that the Administration are ready to
denounce all Democrats who see proper to dif
fer with them on the Kansas policy, and are
ready to read them out of the party for that
alone, no matter what their course has been
heretofore; and it seems to me as though they
think no man has a right to read for himself,
nor form an opinion of his own, but shonld be
come subservient to their every will and wish.
If that is Democracy, I wish them to tell me
where they find it. It is certainly not such
Democracy as was taught by Jefferson and
Jackson. I, sir, as a Democrat, am determined
to vote for no man who violated the popular
sovereignty principle as it was advocated by
the Democratic party in 1856, and aided in
Congress, by their votes, the passage of the
iniquitous English swindle in 1858.
Axti-Lecomptos Democrat.
Uy We will answer briefly the questions pro
pounded in the first paragraph. Mr. Hall is a
citizen of Warren county, and a reliable man.
He was formerly a Democrat, and endorsed the
right of the majority to choose their own in
stitutions. In 185G, finding the Democratic
party had forsaken the principles of Right and
Justice, he, like Curtis and others, severed his
connection with it. He never sought nor held
an office. He engaged but little in politics,
his time being principally devoted to the lum
bering business, in which he is extensively
engaged.
Puecariovs Banes. Hodge's Journal of
Finance, printed in New York, gives a list of
banks, the notes of which it says are "are lia
ble at any moment to depreciate" several of
the banks are already bursted among which
are the Bank of Phoenixville, Pittston Bank,
McKean County Bank, Oct oraro. Bank, Central
Bank, Bank of Crawford County, Tioga Coun
ty Bank, Warren County Bank, and Bank of
Lawrence County, in this State, Warwick and
Mount Vernon Banks in Rhode Island, and
Morris County and Franklinite Banks in the
State of New Jersey, and Litchfield and Hat
ters Banks, Connecticut.
Direct Taxation ! With an annual expen
diture of one hundred millions, to be supplied
by a revene of but half that sum, what is to
become of us? Thirty millions have been
borrowed by the Administration already, and
ten millions more are authorized. Thus it
will continue to be hereafter, under democrat
ic management. Enormous expenditures have
been brought npon the people andthere is no
hope of deliverance! We tca-n the People of
Pennsylvania, that the whole system of extrava
gance and corruption must be broken tip. Re
trenchment must be forced npon Congress ; or
Direct Taxation is Inevitable.
Ax Electioxeerixq Judge. The Lecomp
ton candidate for the Supreme Court; Judge
Porter, is now on an electioneering tour throu'
the State. We heard of him last week at
Hollidaysbnrg, and on Monday he was at Erie.
It was held highly undemocratic and subver
sive of all judical dignity for Mr. Porter to
write a letter for the press defining his views
on the various topics of the day, but it is all
right for him we presume to slip quietly throu'
the State giving private and confidential as
surances that he is all right on the goose.
Such is latter day democratic consistency !
A Split. The Democracy of Venango coun
ty are split up on the Congressional question,
a portion refusing to support James Lecorop
tou Gillis. At the recent court held in Frank
lin, a meeting of the Anti-Lecompton Demo
crats was held, which was addressed by Mr.
McCormick, who was two years ago the com
petitor of Judge Gillis for nomination. The
meeting is said to have been respectable in
sl anu me proceeaings cnmusiastic. inis
movement against Gillis will mako the politi
cal road a rough one this fall for him to travel.
The Washington Union, speaking of tho cap
tured siaver, says : "Under the laws of the
United States, tho vessel is forfeited ; one
half of its value goes to tho captors, who are
also entitled to $25 per head for each negro
captured. The law also directs the President
to take measures for the removal of the negroes
beyond the limits of the United States, and
to appoint an agent on the coast of Africa to
receive them. The crew found on board, un
der the act of 15th May, 1820, are deemed
guilty of piracy."
Occasional, of the Philadelphia Press, learns
that Mr. Buchanan will visit Lancaster during
the present month, "for the purpose of assist
ing to re-organize the Democratic phalanx,
which has been so badly shattered by Lecomp
tonism."
GENERAL INTELLIGENCE.
A Terrible Stoet. Seventy-four cows,
lour valuable horses, one mule, four calves,
and two goats, were destroyed on the 18th nit.,
near Cincinnati, by fire in dairy stables. Two
horses, two cows, one mule, two goats, and
two calves, only escaped, but they are so bad
ly burned that it will be humane to kill them.
The scene in . the stables in the midst of the
conflagration, was most piteously and indes
cribably harro.ving. The live stock were tied
to their stalls. When the flames first com
menced, the poor animals snorted and bellow
ed with hideous and frantic force. As the
heat increased, their cries and groans and fu
rious struggles became agonizing. . Some
threw themselves headlong upon the floor or
leaped upright at full length with frenzied
energy, and vested their agony in fearful
screams. The horses broke from their hal
ters, and dashed through the cousuming blaze
in desperate dismay. The tortured and suf
focating cows tore away their horns and rush
ed through the blazing piles, and encountered
each other in destructive collision, their flesh
broiling and crackling in the heat with sicki
ening effect upon the senses of human beings
who gazed horror-stricken upon the wretched
scene of suffering, without power to mitigate
the agony of the tortured brutes. The yells
and desparing cries of the different classes of
animals commingled in horrid concert, and
broke through the roar of flames and crackling
timbers upon the still night air,and were borne
away in terrifying echoes to the ears of per
sons two miles distant from tho dreadful scene.
The Fraser River Gold Excitement has re
cently got a severe check. Late reports state
that the quantity of gold was greatly exagge
rated, though there is no doubt of some be
ing there. The great distance to travel is
also a drawback. From San Francisco to
Victoria is 840 miles; from Victoria to the
goldfield 337 miles. A gentleman who ascen
ded Fraser'sRiver to the mouth of Thompson's
River described it as full of rapids. In some
places the current ran at the rate of from sev
en to ten miles per hour. Above Fort Yale
for a distauce of 35 or 40 miles, the River
roars impetuously through gloomy canons
fifty or sixty feet deep, the walls of which are
perpendicular, affording no foothold or path
whatever. Up some parts of this sluice it
was impossible to propel the canoe, owing to
rocks and falls. Portages therefore were ne
cessary. After getting to the gold country
our adventurous voyageur found there was in
deed the precious metal in considerable a
bundance. Such are some of the facts which
those attacked with the new gold fever would
do well to ponder before leaving a paying bu
siness at home.
Gold ix Kansas. Leavenworth advices of
the 29th ult. have been received per U. S. Ex
press Company to Boonsville. Considerable
excitement exists in Lawrence and Kansas
City, in consequence of recent arrivals from
the gold regions of Pike's Peak, confirming
the existence of ore fn abundance in that lo
cality. The company which went from Law
rence in June bad met with good success.
The gold found is similar to that of Eraser
River and California. Mr. Richards, who ar
rived at Kansas City on the 2Sth, reports that,
with very little prospecting, satisfactory a
mounts were obtained. Two men, with infe
rior implements, washed out $600 in one week,
in a small stream 50 miles from Pike's Peak
A second Fraser River excitement is apprc
hended.
Terrible Tornado Two Ladies Killed.
A destructive tornado visited a few towns in
Ulster county, New York, last Wednesday,
tearing up and destroying everything in its
course, blowing down trees, fences and even
dwellings. At Dewittvillc, the tornado left
a terrible mark as it passed on its destructive
course. The houses of Mr. J. Smith and Mr
Iioyt were blown down. Mrs. iioyt was in
stantly killed and Mrs. Smith so badly injured
that she died in a few hours. A lady named
Mrs. Hornbcck, who was also in the house,
was so seriously injured that her life is des
paired of. The three children of Mrs. Iioyt
were also badly injured.
Slaver Captured. The United States brig
Dolxhin, a few days since captured a slaver,
with 300 slaves on board, off the coast of Cuba,
and took the vessel and cargo into the harbor
at Charleston, S. C. The U. S. marshal at
Charleston has been directed to remove the
captured slaves to Fort Sumpter, about 5 miles
from that city. Arrangements, it is said, will
soon bo made by the Government to send the
untortunatcs bacs to Africa, iney are in a
deplorable condition, many of them suffering
from dysentery, and a number of them have
died. The negroes are mostly young, not more
than fifteen years of age.
Drought in Virginia. The drought in the
"New River Country," Virginia, continues.
In Giles county New River can be waded a-
cross in many places. Grass is dying, and
theie will not be half a crop of corn. Tho
Monroe County (Va.) jldvcrliser says that for
two months there has not been rain enough in
that county to lay the dust, and adds : "The
corn crops in this county will fall short more
than one-half; some farmers will not have a
fourth of a crop. Tho grass in some places is
literally burned up.
The Lutheran Church in the United
States. The Lutheran church in tho United
States numbers about 175,000 communicants,
2,000 congregations and 1,200 ministers. . Its
members are found chiefly in the middle and
Western States, although there are a few con
gregations in New England, and quite a con
siderable number in Maryland, Virgina, North
Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia, as also
in Western Texas.
Bogus Gold Dollars. Look out for a well
gotten up gold dollar, of the "bogus kind,"

Blair Couxtt. On the 27tb, a man named
McCartney, engaged as a miner in Condron's
ore bank near llollidaysb'g, applied a match to
the priming of a blast lie sought to discharge,
expecting to get out of harm's way before the
estdosion, but the powder was too quick for
him, and he was laid over with his face full ot
particles of slate &c. and so seriously injured
that be thought he was killed! ins escape
from instant death was certainly surprising,
lor the accident occurred in a narrow drift of
the mine, and the blast raised some two tons
of ore On Sunday the 22d ult., the house
of Mr. Newton, in Frankstown township, was
entered while the family were at Camp Meet-
i rig, and some $10 or$I2 in money stolen there
from. A couple of young men, uamedThomp
son and Conroy, belonging to the neighbor-'
hood, were arrested a day or two after on a
charge of perpetrating the offence, and Thomp
son was committed for trial, but Conroy
turned up missing at tbeJustice's office and has
not since been taken. Thompson has since
been admitted to bail A fire broke out
in a double frame dwelling owned and occu
pied by Mr. Daniel Beatty and Mr. Christopher
kephart, at the old Portage intersection, on
Monday night 80th August, and consumed the
entire building together with all the household
goods of both families; the inmates escaping
with little more than their livesand their night
clothes. Loss about $2,000 ; but covered main
ly by insurance. Fire supposed to have start
ed from some coals about a hake-oven attached
to Beatty's bouse Miss Matilda Cald
well, daughter of Judge Caldwell, met with a
shocking death on the 1st 111st. She had len
at a wedding at the house of tho Rev. Lloyd
Knight, and was returning home abortt 11
o'clock in a vehicle driven by a young man
named Wertz. The horse took fright at a light
in front of Confcr's tavern, in this place, and
ran off". The rein broke in the effort to stop
him, and Mr. Wertz then jumped out to try
and arrest his progress. The horse wheeled
suddenly and ran down the street about a
hundred yards. Miss Caldwell leaped ont, and
fell with violence upon her head. She was
taken up insensible and carried to her home,
where she expired at 2 o'clock the next day,
having never spoken a word from the time the
accident occurred.
Mifflin Corxxr. Dickson A. Burns, broth

Another child was struck on the toe, which

gentlemen of Bellcfontc, while rambling about

PENNSYLVANIA STATE FAIR.
We desire to direct the attention of our rea
ders to the advertisement, in another column,
of the Annual Fair of the State Agricultural
Society, to be held at Pittsburgh, commenc
ing on Tuesday, Sept. 28th, and to continue
until Friday, October 1st, inclusive. The
most liberal arrangements have been made by
the managers of the Society to render this
the greatest exhibition of the Agricultural and
industrial products of our State which has
yet been given. The grounds are very con
veniently arranged for the accommodation of
stock and implements: the various Railroads
have agreed to carry gratis all articles inten
ded for exhibition ; the premium list is liberal
and comprehensive.
The Secretary of the State Society, Judge
. O. lleister, of Ilarrisburg, writes to us as
follows, in regard to the prospects for an en
couraging exhibition :
"Since the List of Premiums was published
and circulated, I received a communication
from that most enterprising of farmers and
stock breeders, John S. Goe, of Fayette coun
ty, furnishing me a list of his herd of cattle,
twenty in number, for which he will require
stalls; also, a list of his sheep lor which he
will reqnire sixteen pens, and of his swine,
for which be will need five pens. In the same
communication he offers an additional sweep
stake premium to those of the published list
entry fee $10 which I take this method of
making known :
For the largest and best display of thorough
bred cattle, sheep,&c, owned and held as farm
stock, by the exhibitor other than a dairyman,
combining the best properties with regard to
feeding, milching, wool-growing, &c. 1st
premium, diploma and 15. 2d premium, a
full Merino Buck, to be furnished by J. S. Goe,
free to the Society.
The Executive Committee, previous to the
Exhibition, will announce the judges on this
premium, its class, and other necessary infor
mation for competitors, and make it known as
soon as possible through the press. Recently
I received letters lrom three gentlemen in
Ohio, who intend to become exhibitors; one
from a gentleman in Virginia, and one from a
gentleman from Philadelphia county, who in
tends bringing on his herd of cattle. All
this looks encouraging for a good exhibition.

vrantinsr Farm in a healthy place, tirenty-five
miles from Philadelphia, on the Camden and At
lantic. Railroad, New Jersey. An old estate has
recently been opened for sale, and the first divi
sion of 10.000 acres divided up into farms of 20 a
cres and upwards. The soil is of the Lest quality
for the production of fruits, grains, io. The price
isS15to 520 per acre, payable in easy quarter
yearly instalments, within a term of four years,
with interest. The terms are made easy, in order
to insure the rapid improvement of the land, bv
enabling every tiulittrions to buy a farm.' It
is now being extensively improved by good road,
and some of the best citizens from New England
and the Middle States are erecting large improve
ments. It is a scene of the greatest improvement
out of Philadelphia Seventy-five houses have
been built in 4 months. Practical farmers and bu
siness men from the length and breadth of the U
nion are settling there. It is an important busi
ness place, on account of its being in the midst of
great market. Every article raised on this land
finds an immediate sale. The water is excellent,
and no such thing as fever is known. The soil is
a sandy or clay loam, with a clay bottom and re
tentive of manures. It is free of stones and easily
worked. It abounds largely in the phosphates,
and such is its fertility that from the crops pro
duced both npon this land and the area adjoin
ing under cultivation, it will be found not to be
excelled anwhere in the production of crops most
adapted to its market. The reader may be well;
aware that the earliest and the best fruits and veg
etables come from New Jersey, which are annual
ly exported to the amount of millions of dollars.
The land, besides being accessible in every way
for fertilizers, has an abundant supply of the best
quality of muck manure.
Lumber and building materials can be bad on
the spot at a cheap price, from the mills Other
mills are now being opened, and brickyards being
started on the ground. A person can put up a
frame tenement for present convenience for one
hundred dollars. On account of the extensive em
igration, this is the best course to pursue in order
toget a place to live in at first. Carpentcrsand buil
ders areon hand to put up houses on the best terms.
In settling here the emigrant has many advan
tages. He is ithin a few hours' ride of the great
cities in the Middle States and New England ; he
is near his old friends and associations; he is in a
settled country, whore every improvement and
comfort of civilization is at hand : he is in a heal
thy place, and is not subject to the certainty of
losing the greater part of his family and his own
health by those malignant fevers which make the
graves of so many millions of the young and har
dy in far off regions away from home and friends.
Bcsides, he has a mild climate and an open winter.

and to all those who improve the railroad compa
ny gives a free ticket.
The reader will at onc be struck with the ad
vantages here presented, and ask himself why the
ftroperty has not been taken up before. The rea
son is, it was never thrown in the market ; and un
less these statements were correct no one would be
invited to examine tho land before purchasin"

rrUIE NEW YORK TRIBUNE, 1858-9.-.
X The successful laying of the trans-Atlantic
Telegraph Cable marks a new era in the histo
ry of Human Progress. Henceforth. Europe, West
ern Asia and Northern Africa lie within an hour'
dislancc from our shores, and the battle which de
cides the fate of a kingkom, the capture of a Vi
enna or Giberaltar, the fall of a dynasty, the tri
umph of a usurpation, the birth of an beir to roy
alty, the death of a Nicholas or Wellington, in any
country which touches the Mediterranean, the Eu-
xinc, the Black Sea or the German Ocean, will be
published in New-York the next morning, if not
on the very day of its occurrence. In a moment
as it were, we have been thrown into the immedi
ate intellectual neighborhood of the whole civiliz
ed and a large portion of the semi-barbarous world.
The rise and fall of stocks in London or Paris will
henceforth be reported from day to day in the jour
nals of our seaboard cities. The boldest operators
in Wall-street wtll refuse to buy or sell until they
have read the quotations of that day's business on
the Royal Exchange and at the Bourse, whose
transactions will have closed an hour or so before
ours can begin. A revolution in Paris, an impor
tant vote in Parliament, an insurrection in Italy,
a fire in Constantinople, will be discussed around
the breakfast-tables of New Xork a few hours af
ter its occurrence. A mighty though silent trans
foration in the condition of human existence has
just been effected by the little wire stretching a
cross the ocean's be J from the coast of Ireland to
that of British America, and one inevitable result
of this must be an unexampled community of Reel
ing and interest among the nations of Christen
dom, and a consequent desire for a more intimate
aqcuaintance with each other's doings through the
medium of the Newspaper Press. It seems hardly
possible that thousands should not henceforth reg
ularly read their own journals, who have hitherto
been content with an occasional glanae at those
taken by their neighbors; while many who have
hitherto been content with a Weekly issue will
now require a Semi-Weekly or Daily. In fhort,
Intelligence, always a vital element of growth in
wisdom, success in business, or enjoyment in life,
has now become indispensable to all.
The Ar Yorl Tribune, now more than seven
teen years old, which was the first journal in the
world that appeared regularly on an imperial 8-
Eagc sheet at so Iowa price as twocents, and which
as attained the unparalleled aggregate of more'
than 200.000 subscriptions, respectfully solicits its
share of the new patronage which the Metropolitan
Press is henceforth constrained, at a heavy weekly
cost, to deserve. .It asks especially the patronage
and activo favor of Republican of those who
hate all forms of onnrcssion. and desirn that tra.
ry rational being shall be free to employ his facul
ties in such innocent manner as he shall deem bet
of those who would extend Liberty and limit
Slavery but it further appeals likemise to all who
look and labor for the return of National thrift,
plenty, prosperity, through the Protection of A
merican Industry by wisely discriminating duties
on Imports all who favor National Progress thro'
internal development and amelioration rather
than by external aggression and extension all
who would rather have the National resources de
voted to the construction of a Railroad to the Pa
cific than to the purchase or conquest of Mexico.
Nicaragua or Cuba all who would retrench radi
cally our present inordinate Federal expenditures
by abolishing or immensely reducing the Army
and Navy, and expending the money thus saved
on works of beneficence which will endure to bless
our children all who profoundly realize that
'llighteonvneis exalteth a nation," and that no
real advantage can ever accrue to any person or
community from acquisitions or successes achiev
ed by means which eontravenethe laws of Eternal
Right The free allotment of limited po.tions of
the Public Lands to Actual Settlers thereon, and
evnry hopeful plan intended to diminish the sunt
of human misery from dearth of employment or
inadequate recompense every scheme especially
mat sucks to nelp the unfortunate by enabling and
teaching them to help themselves must command
our earnest sympathy and co-operation.
Within the present year. The Tribune has provi
ded itself with a new and faster Press at a cost of
.'S0.0OO, merely that some of our subscribers may
receive their papers a mail earlier than they oth
erwise might do. With correspondents at the most
important points throughout the civilized world,
and a staff of writers chosen from, among the best
in the cotfntry, we believe that even those who dis
like the politics of our sheet concede to it frank
ness in avowing its convictions and ability in main
taining them. We appeal, then, to those who be
lieve that an increased circulation of The Tribune
would conduce to the political, intellectual and
moral well-being of tho Republic, to aid in effect
ing such increase. As we employ no travelling
solicitors of subscriptions, we ask our present pa
trons m every locality to speak to their neighbor
and friends in our behalf; we shall gladly receive
from any friend lists of those who would receive
and read a specimen copy of one of our editions,
and shall be particularly grateful to those who
may send us such names from post offices at which
we have no subscribers. Whatever addition
may thus be made to our circulation shall be
paralleled by increased efforts and expenditures
to make our issues more valuable and useful than
they have hitherto-been.
