As a newspaper, The New York Tribune is held by readers of a quarter of a 

 century, the best, purest, and most dignified in the United States. It covers the 

 interesting current news of the whole world. Its repoi-ts are full and accurate. It 

 is the only New York Newspaper that has its own telegraph line to Washington. 

 No expense is spared^ The Tribune has spent a million and a half dollars in one 

 year. Its present prosperity enables it to disburse money as abundantly as the 

 times ever demand for inforniation in politics, business, education and society. 



It treats all sections of the country ■wjif h liberality and fairness. It has sent spec- 

 ial correspondents through the Soutli, the Mining Regions of the West, the Wheat 

 Regions of the Northwest, the Lumber Camps of Puget Sound, and other parts of 

 the United States which have attracted attention. It expects to remain active in 

 this work. It now has an agent in England, sent out especially to write up the 

 operation of Free Trade in that country. 



The Tribune is a safe visitor in any family. Its language is always pure and 

 dignified. It always fights that which degrades humanity, and strives to quicken 

 every proper aspiration. Everybody who reads The Tribune is the belter for it, 

 and many a successful man traces his rise in life to the inspiration of its columns. 



The paper remains entirely independent of party dictation and caucus control. 



It has the best poems, stories, and current literature of any paper. Its book re- 

 views and art and dramatic criticisms are of marked and special ability. 



The paper is cheaper than ever before, and cheaper than any paper of its class 

 in the country. Dr. Townshend, of the Ohio State University, gives it the credit 

 of containing "more that one wants to know, and less that one doesn't want to 

 know," than any paper with which he is acquainted. 



It recognizes Agriculture as one of the great industries of the country, and 

 prints more information of value to farmers than any other daily paper. 



The Tribune has always been, and is, a warm advocate of the development of 

 American indust5y,_for the sake of strengthening the Republic, erftploying the 

 whole population, giving a chance to all young men, and filling the country with 

 peaceful and happy homes. 



To the working teacher of American common schools, The Tribune is a con- 

 stant friend and daily help. It advocates an increase of pay to teachers. In all 

 that will promote the efficiency and advance the dignity of the common-school sys- 

 tem, it will be a cheerful and faithful worker. 



The Semi-Weekly Tribune has nearly all of the news of the Daily, and is, in 

 some respects, the best, as well as the cheapest paper sent out from The Tribune 

 Office. It contains all of the literary, agricultural, and domestic miscellany, and 

 all the special articles prepared for The Weekly. It has besides most of its ed- 

 itorial articles not strictly local in their application. It. is printed in sixteen-page 

 form. It is immeasurably the most successful Semi-Weekly in the country. 



Tjie Weekly TiAbune has the largest circulation of its class in the United 

 States. Each week it contains a summary of all the news of the world, in such 

 shape that busy men can read and enjoy. It has the letters giving the best news 

 from foreign lands, and from time to time others describing the resources, attrac- 

 tions and pursuits of different portions of the United States. It has a strong agri- 

 cultural department, good market reports, and pages written for the benefit of 

 ladies, giving accurate instructions in knitting, crochet, and kindred subjects. It 

 also prints every year several good novels and stories, the cost of which in book 

 form would be several dollars. 



A strong point of the paper is that it is printed in large, plain type, suited to the 

 eyes of studious readers. 



To those willing to form clubs for The Tribune, circulars, show bills and sam- 

 ple copies of the paper will be sent in any desired quantity.
