JCTOU THE YEAR.

THE NEW YORK M
TRIBUN El;
FOR IS, so.
During the coining ('residential year The Tribune
i will be a more effective agency than ever for telling
i the news best worth knowing, and for enforcing j
I sound politics. From the day the war closed it lias
! been most anxious for an end of sectional strife. ! .
j But it saw two years ago, and was the first persist- i
I cntly 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 1
i rally the old party of Freedom and the Union, it ,
| began by demanding the abandonment of personal !
| dislikes, and set the example. It called for an end ;
jto attacks upon each other instead of the enemy; j
| and for the heartiest agreement upon whatever tit !
i candidates the majority should put up against the
j common foe. Since then the tide of disaster has
i been turned back; every doubtful state has been ,
j won, and the omens for National victory were never
more cheering.
THE TRIBUNE'S POSITION.
Of The Tribune's share in all this, those speak j
1 most enthusiastically who have seen most of the I
: struggle. It will faithfully portray the varning j
i phases of the campaign now beginning. It will I
i earnestly strive that the party of Freedom, Union j
1 and Public Faith may select the man surest to win, i
and surest to make a good President. But in this
j crisis it can conceive of no nomination this party
could make that would not be preferable to the best
! that could possibly he supported by the Solid South
and Tammany Hall.
i The Tribune is now spending much labor and
money than ever before to hold the distinction it has
enjoyed of the {urgent circulation among the beet
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 freeest
discussions, lit tiring all sides, appealing always to
the best intelligence and the purest morality, and re
fusing to carter to the tastes of the vile or the preju
dices of tlie ignorant.
SPECIAL FEATURES.
The distinctive features of I'lic I'rihuiie are known
to everybody. It gives all the news, it lias the
best correspondents, a.id retains them from year to
year. It is the only paper that maintains a special
telegraphic wire of it.-> own between its office and
Washington, lis scientific, literary, artistic and re
ligious intelligence is the fullest. Its book reviews
are the best. its commercial and financial ne-'s is
the most exact Its type is the largest; and lis ar
rangement the must systematic.
THE SUM I-WEEKLY TRIBUN
is by far the most slice ssful Semi-Wt ekl\ in the
country, having lemr times the eirculat'oii of any
other in New York. It is especially adapted to the
large class of intelligent, professional or business
readers too far from New York to depend on our
papers I.ir the daily news, who nevertheless want
the editorials, correspondence, hook leviews, seien
tihc matter, lecture*, literary misccllatiey, etc,, for
which The Tribune is famous. Like The Weekly
it contains sixtei n pages, ;i nl is in convenient form
for bindnig,
THE WEEKLY TRIBUNE
remains the gre at favorite of oursuhst mtiul country
population, and has the largest circulation of any
Weekly issued from lite otlice of a Daily paper ill
New York, or, s<, far as we know, in the United
States. It revises ami condenses all the news of the
week into more it adahle shape. Its agricultural dc
pertinent is more carefully conducted than ever, and
it has anvays been considered the best. Its market
reports arc the official standard for the Dairymen's
Association, and have long been recognized author
ity on cattic, grain and general country produce.
There arc special departments for the young and for
household interests; the new handiwork department
already extivtu. !y popular, gives unusually accurate
and comprehensive instructions in knitting, crochet
itig, and kinund subjects; whib poetry, tiction and
the humors of the day are all abundantly supplied.
The v erdict of llie tills of thousand old readers who
have returned to it during the past year is that they
liuii it better than ever. Increasing patronage and
lucilitias enable us to reduce t.u rates to the lowest
point wi have ever touched, and to otier the most
amazing premiums yet given, as follows.;
