During the year 1882 THE TRIBUNE hopes to em ploy with increasing success the work and the methods which have won for it so larg • a measure of popular approval. It lias attained, and means never to lose the high standard of success which was aimed at by its founder the largest circulation among the best people. Ho large a circulation and one so widely distributed over the entire territory of the Nation lias never been attained by any other newspaper in the United States. We accept this fact as the verdict of the American people upon the conduct and character of the TRIBUNE. The po sition it occupies could never have been gained nor retained but by pre-eminent merits as a newspaper as an organ of sound opinion and an advocate of just public measures. In short the TRIBUNE will as heretofore continue to he the medium of the best thou ght and the voice of the best conscience of the time; will keep abreast of the highest progress,favor the freest discussion, hear all sides, appeal always to the most enlighten cd intelligence and the purest morality, and refuse peremptorily to cater to the tastes of the vile or tho prejudices of the ignorant. The well-known special features of the TRIBUNE will be carefully maintained. Its Agricultural Do pavtineut will remain as it is, the fullest and best. The Household and Young Folks' Departments,the literary, scientific and religious features, the stand ard market reports will all be kept up and extend ed as opportunity may serve.
