PAPER."

TllK NEW YORK
TRI BUNE
KOH lssi).
During the coming Presidential year Tin* Tribune
will bi' a more effective an.-.icy than ever for telling
the new* bent worth knowing, and for enforcing
found politic*. From the day the war closed it has
been most anxious for an end of sectional strife.
But it saw two years ago, and was the first persist
ently to Proclaim the new danger to the country
from the revived alliance of the Solid South and
Tammany Hall. Against that danger it sought to
rally the old party of Freedom and the Pnion. It
began by demanding the abandonment of personal
dislikes, and set the example. It called for an end
to attacks upon each other instead of the enemy;
and for the heartiest agreement upon whatever tit
I candidates the majority should put up against the
common foe. Since then the tide of disaster has
been turned back; every doubtful state has been
won, and the omens for National victory w ere never
more cheering.
TllK TBI 151 NFS POSITION.
Of The Tribune's share in all this, those speak
j most enthusiastically who have seen most of the
struggle. It will faithfully portray the varning
phases of the campaign n>w beginning. It will
earnestly strive that the party of Freedom, Pnion
an 1 Public Faith may select the man surest to win,
and surest to make e good President. But ill this
ci si-it can conceive of no nomination this party
could make that would not lie preferable to the best
that could possibly be supported by the Solid South
and Tammany Hall.
The Tribune is now spending much labor and
money than ever before to hold the distinction it has
enjoyed of the largext cirinhition among the best
j people. It secured, and means to retain it, by be
coming the medium of the best thought and the
voice of the best conscience of the time, by keeping
abreast of the highest progress, favoring the t'reeest
dis. ussions, hearing all side,,, appealing always to
tin best intelligence and the purest morality, and re
fusing to carter to the tastes of the vltc or the preju
dices of the ignorant.
SPEC'! A I, FKATPRKS.
The distinctive features of The Tribune are known
ito everybody. It gives ail the news. It has the
best correspondents, and retains them front year to
year, It is the only paper that maintains a special
j telegraphic wire of its own between its of lice and
\\ ahington. Its scientific, literary, artistic and re
ligious intelligence is the fullest. Its book reviews
arc the best. Its commercial and financial new s is
the most exact Its type is the largest; '111(1 its ar
! rangeuu nt the most systematic.
TllK SEMI-WEEKLY TUIBi XE
is by far the most successful Setni-Weekly in flic
j country, having four limes the circulation of any
1 other in New York. It is especially adapted to the
large class of intelligent, professional or business
I readers too far from New York to depend on our
papers for the dally news, who nevertheless want
j the editorials, correspondence, book reviews, seien
: titie matter, lectures, literary miscellaney, etc,, for :
j which The 'Tribune is famous. Like The Weekly
j it contain* sixteen pages, and is in convenient form
I for binding,
THE WEEKLY TRIBI NL
j remains the great favorite of our substantial country
' population, and lias the largest circulation of any I
j Weekly issued from the office of a Daily {taper in .
j New York, or, so far as we know, in the I nitial I
[ States. It revises and condenses ail the news of the !
; week into more readable shape, its agricultural do !
partmcnt is more carefully conducted than ever,ami
it has always been considered the best. Its market j
reports are the otlleial standard for the Dairymen's >
I Association, and have long been recognized author I
ity on cattle, grain and general country produce, i
There arc special departments for the young and for >
household interests; the new handiwork department !
already extremely popular, gives unusually accurate ■
and comprehensive instructions in knitting, crochet- j
ing, and kindrid subjects; while poetry, iiction and j
the humors of the day arc all abundantly supplied.
The verdict of the tens of thousand old l eaders who I
have returned to it during the past year is that they '
find it better than ever. Increasing patronage und j
faeilitias enable lis to reduce the rates to the lowest, j
point we have ever touched, and to olier tin most |
amazing premiums yet given, as follows ;
