HORACE GREELEY ON PO- 
LITICAL ECONOMY. 
Greeley's History of the War. 
Mr. Greeley purposes to write, during the year 1S69, an 
elementary work on Political Economy, wherein the policy 
of Protection to Home Industry will he explained and vin- 
dicated. This work will first be given to the public through 
successive issues of The New- York Tribune, and will ap- 
pear mail its editions— Daily, Semi-Weekly, and Weekly. 
The work will contain the best results of the observations 
and study of a lifetime, and, as the question of Protection 
to American Industry concerns our entire people, it will be 
looked for with great interest. In addition to this work by 
Mr. Greeley, The Tribune has engaged George Geddes, one 
ot the best and most successful farmers in the country, and 
other able writers on Agricultural subjects, to write regu- 
larly for its columns. The American Institute Farmers 
Club will continue to be reported in The Semi-Weekly and 
Weekly Tribune. No farmer who desires to till the soil 
with profit, and to know the progress constantly made in 
the science of his calling, can afford to neglect the advan- 
tages of a newspaper like The Weely Tribune, especially 
when Lt unites with agriculture other features of interest and 
profit. The Weekly Tribune contains a summary of all 
that appears in This Daily and Semi-Weekly editions, 
while in addition it is made to address itself to the wants of 
the great farming class. Reviews of new publications, and 
of what is new in music and the fine arts ; letters from differ* 
t'Mt puts of the world— some of them of rare interest to the 
farmer, as showing the progress of agriculture in other 
countries ; editorial essays on all topics of home and foreign 
interest, together with full and carefully printed reports of 
the markets, will be furnished from week to week, and at a 
lower price than that of any other newspaper in America. 
By pursuing this policy The Weekly Tribune lias attained 
its present commanding influence and circulation, and we 
enter upon the new year with an assurance to our readers 
that no pains and no expense will be spared to give it still 
greater usefulness and power, and to make it a yet more 
welcome visitor to every fireside lu the land. 
GREELEY'S II1STORY OF THE WAR. 
The Tribune also proposes to send " The American Con 
flict," by Horace Greeley, in 2 Vols, of 643 and ?3> pages re- 
spectively, to clubs on terms stated below. This history has 
received* from all quarters the highest commendations for 
accuracy of statement and fullness of detail. It is substan- 
tially bound, and must be deemed a valuableaddition to any 
library. These volumes should be placed in every School 
District library in the laud, and each school contains schol- 
ars who can, with a few hours of attention, raise a Tribune 
Club and secure the history. Almost any one who wishes 
can now obtain it by giving a few hours to procuring sub- 
scriptions for Tiik Tribune among his friends and neigh- 
bors, and we hope many will be incited to do so. The work 
will be promptly forwarded, prepaid, by express or by mail, 
on receipt of the required subscriptions.

Testimony. —Solon Robinson says: " Al'tnr years of 
trial, I still express the same opinion 1 did at lirst: that is, 
tliat your sweet corn is the best variety, nil things considered, 
that"! have ever grown. " 
Hon. Levi Barllelt, Warner, ff. IT., Bays: "The Sweet 
Corn you forwarded mc ivas far superior to three other va- 
rieties I grew. - * * I c;iu cheerfully recommend, it as 
worthy ot a wide dissemination." 
Tho's. Meehan, Editor of Gardener's Monthly, says : "I 
■was very much pleased "with your corn. After it came to 
table, inquiries were numerous as to where Hint excellent 
corn came from. I do not think yon need hesitate about 
bringing it out. as a first-class variety." 
Col. M. C. Weld Associate Editor of American Agricul- 
turist, writes: " \ our most excellent corn lias afforded us a 
great deal of enjovment. It is decidedly the sweetest ami 
best, com I have ever eaten. The yield is, besides, large. 
That dried for winter use is as 'sweet as honey,' and it is 
with repeated assertions only that we convince our guests 
that it is not sweetened." 
This corn is the result of eight years' search and trial of 
more than forty varieties. 1 propose to make seed corn a 
specialty, and will gladly pay $50 for a single car of a better 
kind. Package of sced'bv mail, sufficient for fifty hills. 50 
cents. JAS. B. OLCUTT, Bucklaud, Conn.
