THE 1 'RES IHEXT IA LYE AR. " TIIE LEA 1)1X0 AMERICAN NEWS n. i REitr TIIK NEW YORK TRIB U N E FOR 1880. During the coming Preside ntial year The Tribune ! will he a more effective agency than ever for telling the news best worth knowing, and lor enforcing I sound politics. From the day the war closed it lias j been most anxious for an end of sectional strife. | But it saw two years ago, and was the tirst persist | ently to Proclaim the new danger to the country front the revived alliance of the Solid South and j Tammany Hall. Against that danger u sought to i rally the old party of Freedom and the Union. It j began by demanding the abandonment of personal j dislikes, and set the example. It called for an end j 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 were never more cheering. TIIK TRIHUNK'S POSITION. •I Of The Tribune's share in all this, those speak ! most enthusiastically who have seen most of the j struggle. It will faithfully portray the varning ] phases of the campaign now beginning, it will | earnestly strive that the party of Freedom, Union i 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 I could make that would not be preferable to the best ; that could possibly be supported by the Solid South | and Tammany liall. j The Tribune is now spending much labor and i money than ever before to hold the distinction it has | enjoyed of the largest circulation among the bent j people. It secured, and means to retain it, by be- coming tlic 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, hearing 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 the ignorant. SPECIAL FEATURES. The distinctive features of The Tribune are known to everybody. It gives ail the news. It lias the best correspondents, and retains them from year to year, It is the only paper that maintains a special telegraphic wire of its own between its olttce and ! Washington. Its 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 iis ar ; rangement the most systematic. THE SEMI-WEEKLY TKIIU'N I is by far the most successful Semi-Weekly in the j country, having four times the circulation of any | other in New York, it is especially adapted to the 1 1 largo class of intelligent, professional or business readers too far from New York to depend on our I papers for the daily news, who nevertheless want the editorials, correspondence, hook reviews, scien tific matter, lectures, literary miscellaney, etc,, for which The Tribune is famous. Like The Weekly it contains sixteen pages, ami is in convenient form for binding, TIIE WEEKLY TRIBUNE remains the great favorite of ottr substantial country population, and has the largest circulation of any Weekly issued from the olliee of a I fully paper in i New York, or, so far as we know, in the United States. It revises and condenses all the news of the week into more readable shape. Its agricultural de partment is more carefully conducted than ever, and iit lias always been considered the best. Its market 1 reports are the oflleial standard for the Dairymen's Association, ami have long been recognized author ity on cattle, grain and general country produce. There are 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 ing, and kindrid subjects; while poetry, fiction and the humors of the day are nil abundantly supplied. The verdict of the tens of thousand old readers who have returned to it during the past year is that they find it better than ever, increasing patronage and faeilitias enable us to reduce the rates to the lowest point we have ever touched, and to oticr the most i amazing premiums yet given, as follows: TERMS OF THE TRIBUNE, /'outage free in the United States.
