" THE LEAD/NO AMERICAN NEWS
PAPER."
THE NEW YORK
TRIBUNE
FOR lb&O.
During the coming Presidential year The Tribune
Will be a more effective agency than ever for telling
the new# bent worth knowing, and for enforcing
sound politic*, from the day the war clotted it has
been most anxious for an end of sectional strife.
But it *aw two year# ago, and was the first persist
ently to Proclaim the new danger to the country
from the revived alliance of the Solid Soutli and
Tammany Ilall. Against that danger it sought to
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 the
common foe. Since then the tide of disaster has
been turned back; every doubtful state has been
won, and tho omens for National victory were never
more cheering.
THK TRIBUNE'S POSITION.
Of The Tribune's share in all this, thorn speak
most enthusiastically who have seen most of the
struggle. 11 will taitlifully 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 V preferable to the best
that could possibly be supported by the Solid Houth
and lain many Hail.
The Tribune is now spending much labo and
money thun ever before to bold the distinction it ha*
oiyoyeu ~f the. largest circulation among the bat
people. It secured, and means to retain it hv be
cuming the medium of the best thought ana the
voice of the best conscience of the time, by keeping
abreast of the highest progress, favoring the freeer
cliseui-sions, hearing all sides, appealing always le
lie- best intelligence and the purest morality, and re
fusing to carter to the tastes of tlie vile or the preh,
dices of the ignorant.
Sl'KL'l A L KKATURKB.
The distinctive features of The Tribune are known
to everybody. It gives all the news. It has the
best correspondents, and retains them from year te
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
j ligious intelligence is the fullest Its book reviews
| are the best. Its commercial and financial ne'vs is
! the most exact Its type is the largest; and lis ur
j rangement the most systematic.
THK riEMI-WKKKLY TRIBUN
j is b> far tlie most successful .Semi-Weekly in the
j country, having four times the circulation of sun
j 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
i papers for the daily news, who nevertheless want
I tile editorials, correspondence, hook reviews, scien
j title matter, lectures, literary inisceilancy, etc,, for
| which The Tribune is famous. IJkc The Weekly
j it contains sixteen pages, and is In convenient form
' for binding,
TIIE WEEKLY TRIBUNE
remains the great favorite of our substantial country
population, and baa the largest circulation of any
j Weekly issued from the office of a Daily paper lu
' New York, or, so far as we know, in the United
| States. It revises and condenses all the news of the
I week into more readable shape. Its agricultural de
pertinent 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, and have long been recognized author
itv on cattle, grain and general country produce.
There are special departments for the voting and for
household interests; the new handiwork department
already extremely popular, gives unusually accurate
aud comprehensive instructions in knitting, crochet
ing, and kindrid subjects; while poetry, fiction and
the humors of the day are all abundantly supplied.
I lie verdict ot the tons of thousand old readers who
have returned to it during the past year is that they
find it better than ever. Increasing patronage and
farilitias enable us to reduce the rates to the lowest
point we have ever touched, and to otier the most
amazing premiums yet given, an follows:
