JTOR THE PRESIDENTIAL YEAR.
" THE LEADING AMERICAN NEWS
PAPER."
THE NEW YORK
TRI B U N E
FOR 1880.
During the coming Presidential year The Tribune
will be a more effective agency than ever for telling
tlrt; news best worth knowing, and for enforcing
sound politics. 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 soughtto
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
to attacks upon each other instead of the enemy;
and for the heartiest agreement upon whatever lit
candidates the majority should put up against Un
common foe. Since then the tide of disaster has
been turned hack; every doubtful state has been
won, and the omens for National victory were never
more cheering.
THE TRIBUNE'S POSITION.
Of The Tribune's share in all tins, those speak
most enthusiastically who have seen most of the
struggle. It will faithfully portray the varning
phases of the campaign now beginning, it will
earnestly strive that the party of Freedom, Union
and Public Faith may select the man surest to win,
and surest to make a good President. But in this
crisis it can conceive of no nomination this party
could make that would not be preferable to the best
that could possibly be supported by the Solid South
and Tammany Hull.
The Tribune is now upending much labor and
money than ever before to hold the distinction it has
enjoyed of the lurgext circulation among the bent
people, it secured, and means to retain if 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 freees
discussions, hearing all sides, appealing always to
the best intelligence and tins purest morality, and re
fusing to carter to the tastes of the vile or the preju
dices of the ignorant.
SPECIAL FEATURES.
Tlie distinctive features of The Tribune are known
to everybody. It gives all 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 ottice and
Washington. Its scientific, literary, artistic and re
ligious intelligence is the fullest. Its book reviews
are the best. Its commercial and financial nevs is
the most exact Its type is the largest; and lis ar
rangement the most systematic.
THE SEMI-WEEKLY Till BUN
| is by far the most successful Semi-Weekly in the
| country, having four times the circulation of any
I other iii New York. It is especially adapted to the
1 large class of intelligent, professional or business
I readers too far from New York to depend on our
papers for the daily news, who nevertheless want
I the editorials, correspondence, book reviews, scicn
| titic matter, lectures, literary miscellancy, etc,, for
I which The Tribune is famous. Like The Weekly
I it contains sixteen pages, and is in convenient form
I for binding,
THE WEEKLY TRIBUNE
| remains the great favorite of our substantial country
i population, and has the largest circulation of any
| Weekly issued from the ottice of a Daily 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 agrionltural de
! partmeiit is more carefully conducted than ever, and
iit has always been considered the best. Its market
i reports are the official standard for the Dairymen's
| Association, and have long been recognized author
| ity on cattle, grain and general country produce.
, There are special departments for the young and for
i household Interests; the new handiwork department
1 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 ail abundantly supplied.
: The verdict of the tens of thousand old readers who
1 have returned to it during the past year is that they
| find it better than ever. Increasing patronage and
I facilltias enable us to reduce the rates to the lowest
| point we have ever touched, and to otter the most
1 amazing premiums yet given, as follows :
