jpoii THE PRESIDENTIAL YEAR.
i
" THE LEADING AMERICAS NEWS
PAPER."
, TUB NKW 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
j the news best worth knowing, and for enforcing
I 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
1 from the revived alliance of the Holid South and
Tammany Mall. Against that danger it soughtto
rally the old party of Freedom and the Union It
I began by demanding the abandonment of personal
dislikes, and set the example. It called for an end
I to attacks upon each other instead of the enemy;
j and for the heartiest agreement upon whatever tit
; 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
I more cheering.
TIIK TRIBUNE'S POSITION.
| Of The Tribune's share in all this, 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. 13ut in this
crisis it can conceive of no nominatlou this party
could make that would not be preferable to the best
that could possibly be supported by the Solid South
and Tammany Hall,
j The Tribune is now spending much labo and
i money than ever before to hold the distinction it has
j enjoyed of the largest circulation among the bent
j peopje. It secured, and meant to retain it by be
coming the medium of the beet thought arid the
voice of the beet conscience of the time, by keeping
abreast of the highest progress, favoring the freoea
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.
81'ECIAL FEATURES.
The distinctive features of The Tribune are known
to everybody. It gives ail the news. It has 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 office and
Washington. Its scientific, literary, artistic and re
! ligious intelligence is the fullest. Its book review#
! are the best. Its commercial and tinancial no-'u is
I the most exact Its type is the largest; and lis ar
i rangemeut the most systematic.
*
THE BEMI-WEEKLY TRIBUJN
is by far the most successful Semi-Weekly in the
j country, having fonr times the eirculat'on of any
i 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 011 our
papers for the daily news, who nevertheless want
the editorials, correspondence, book reviews, scion
title matter, lectures, literary rmscelloney, etc,, for
which The Tribune is famous. Like The Weekly
it contains sixteen pages, and is iu convenient form
for binding,
TIIE WEEKLY TRIBUNE
remains the great favorite of our substantial country
population, and has the largest circulation of any
Weekly issued from the office of a Daily paper in
New York, or, so far us we know, in the United
States. It revises una condenses ail the news of the
week into more readable shape. Its agricnltural de
partitiont is more carefully conducted than ever, and
it has always been considered the best. Its market
reports are the official standard for the Dairymen's
Association, aud have loug 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 hll abundantly supplied,
i lie verdict ol 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
facilities enable us to red use the rates to the lowest
point we have ever touched, and to ofier the most
amazing premiums yet given, as follows:
