THE PRESIDENTIAL YEAR.
" TIIK LEADING AMERICAN NEWS
PAPER."
THE NEW YORK
TRIB U N E
FOR 1880.
During the coming Presidential year The Tribune
will be a more effective agency than ever for telling
the 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 ami
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 the omens for National victory were never
more cheering.
THE TRIBUNE'S POSITION.
Of The Tribune's share in all this, those speak
most enthusiastically who have seen most of the
struggle. It will iaithfully 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 Hall. . *
The Tribune is now spending much labo and
money than over before to hold the distinction it has
cr\joyed of the largest circulation among the best
people. It secured, and means to retain it by be
coming the medium of tbe bent thought and the
voice of the best conscience of the time., by keeping
• breast of the highest progress, favoring the freevs
discussions, hearing all sides, appealing always to
the best intelligence and the purest morality, and re
fusing to carter to the tastes of tin- vile or the prqju
dices of the ignorant.
SPECIAL FEATURES.
Tiie distinctive features of The Tribune are known
to everybody. It gives all the news. It lots the
best correspondents, and retains them front year to
year, it is tlie only paper that maintains a special
telegraphic wire of its own between its otlice and
Washington, its scientific, literary, artistic and re
ligious intelligence is the fullest. Its hook reviews
are the V st. Its commercial and financial ue' .'s is
the most exact Its type is the largest; and its ar
rangement the most systematic.
THE SEMI-WEEKLY TRIBUN
is by far the most successful Semi-Weekly in the
country, having fonr times the circulation 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 for the d tily news, who nevertheless want
the editorials, correspondence, book reviews, scien
tific matter, lectures, literary miscellaney, etc,, tor
which The Tribune is famous, l.ike The Weekly
it contains sixteen pages, and is in convenient form
for binding,
THE WEEKLY TRIBUNE
remains the great favorite of our substantial country
population, and bus the largest circulation of any
Weekly issued from the ollice of a Daily paper in
New \ork, or, so far us 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
it lias always been considered the best. Its market
reports are the otiicial 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
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 all 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
facilitias enable us to reduce the rates to the lowest
point we have ever touched, and to oficr the nioet
amazing premiums yet given, as follows:
