" THE LEADING AMERICAN XEWS-PAPEIi."

TIIKNEW YORK

TRI BUNEFOR 1880.

During the coming Presidential year The Tribunewill be a more effective agency than ever for tellingthe news best worth knowing, and for enforcingsound politics. From the day the war closed it liasbeen most anxious for an end of sectional strife.But it saw two years ago, and was the iirst persist-ently to Proclaim the new danger to the countryfrom tins revived alliance of the Solid South andTammany Hall. Against that danger it sought torally the old party of Freedom and the Union. Itbegan by demanding the abandonment of personaldislikes, and set the > xainplc. It called for an endto attacks upon each other instead of the enemy;and for the heartiest agreement upon whatever titcandidates the majority should put up against thecommon foe. Since then the tide of disaster hasbeen turned back; every doubtful state has beenwon, and the omens for National victory were nevermore cheering.

THE Till RUNE'S POSITION.Of The Tribune's share in all this, those speak

most enthusiastically who inn e seen most of thestruggle. It will faithfully portray the varningphasei of the campaign iiou beginning. It wiliearnestly strive that the party of Freedom, Unionand l'ublie Faith may select the man surest to win,and surest to make a good President. Rut in thiscrisis it can conceive of no nomination this partycould make that would not be preferable to the bestthat could possibly be supported by the Solid Southand Tammany llall.

Tito Tribune is now spending much labor andmoney than ever before to hold the distinction it liasenjoyed of the largest circulation among the bestpeople. It secured, anil means to retain it, by be-coming the medium of the hot thought and thevoice of the best conscience of the time, by keepingabreast of the highest progress, favoring the freeestdiscussions, hearing all sales, appealing always tothe best intelligence and 'hi purest nv "a;. y. ate! re-fusing to carter to the tie ;os of the vile or the preju-dices of the ignorant.

SPECIAL FEATURES.The distinctive feat ures of The Tribune are known

to everybody. It gives all the news, ii hits thebest correspondents, and retains them from year toyear, It is the only paper that maintains a specialtelegraphic wire of its own between its . dice a idWashington. Its scientific, literary, artistic and re-ligious intelligence is the fullest. Its book review-are the best. Its commercial and financial news isthe most exact Its type is the largest; and its ar-rangement the most systematic.

THE SFMI-WEEKLY TRIBUNEis by far the most successful Semi-Weekly in thecountry, having four times the circulation of anyother in New York. It is especially adapted to thelarge class of intelligent, professional or businessreaders too far from New York to depend on ourpapers for the daily news, who nevertheless wantthe editorials, correspondence, book reviews, scien-tific matter, lectures, literary niiseelhiney, etc,, forwhich The Tribune is famous. Like The Weeklyit contains sixteen pages, and is in convenient formfor binding,

TIIK WEEKLY Till RUN Fremains the great favorite of our substantial countrypopulation, and lias the largest circulation of anyWeekly issued from the office of a Daily paper inNew York, or, so far as we know, in the Unit dStates. It revises and condenses all the news of theweek into more readable shape. Its agricultural dcpertinent is more carefully conducted than ever,andit has always been considered the best. Its marketreports are the official standard for tlio Dairymen'sAssociation, and have long been recognized author-ity on cattle, grain and general country produce.There are special departments for the young and forhousehold interests; the new handiwork departmentalready extremely popular, gives unusually accurateand comprehensive instructions in knitting, crochet-ing, and kindrid subjects; while poetry, fiction andthe humors of the day arc all abundantly supplied.The verdict of the tens of thousand old readers whohave returned to it during the past year is that theyfind it better than ever. Increasing patronage andf.icilitias enable us to reduce the rates to the lowestpoint \\e. have ever touched, and to offer the mostamazing premiums yet given, as follows:
