Th:> • Vfi.r I'/rA: Tribune
"The Leading American Newspaper."
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.
VALUABLE PREMIUMS.—The TTIBUNE has
never been equaled by any other paper in the per
manent and substantial value of its premiums and

it has offered them to the oublic. We take pleas
