The _Tribune_ property is valued at over $1,000,000, which includes
nearly $300,000 in real estate. The stockholders, it is said,
contemplate, at no distant day, erecting a large and handsome printing
office on the site of the present unpretending building now occupied.
The profits of the paper do not depend upon the daily edition. The
semi-weekly circulates about 35,000 or 40,000 copies, and the weekly
about 130,000 copies. The last is sent all over the United States, and
has beyond a doubt the largest number of readers of any paper in the
world.

The _Tribune_ is the leading organ of the Republican party in the United
States, and its influence is tremendous. It is a well written, well
conducted paper, and is every year becoming more independent of party
control. The chief editor is Horace Greeley, who imparts his strong
personality to the whole journal. Many of the country people believe
that the Philosopher writes every line on the editorial page. The
managing editor is Whitelaw Reid, and the publisher Samuel Sinclair. Mr.
Reid succeeded Mr. John Russell Young, and the paper has profited by the
change. Mr. Sinclair is one of the most efficient publishers in the
land, and the _Tribune_ owes not a little of its success to his
genius--for that is the only name to give it. The editorial staff
comprises more ability than that of any other city journal, though some
of the others make a better use of the talent at their disposal. Its
correspondence, both domestic and foreign, is the best of all the city
papers--perhaps the best in the Union--and the list of its correspondents
contains some of the brightest names in literature.

The _Times_ is also a Republican journal, and aims to represent the
Administration of General Grant. Under the management of the late Henry
J. Raymond, a born journalist, it was a power in the land. Since Mr.
Raymond's death there has been a falling off in the ability, the
manliness, and the influence of the paper. It is owned by a stock
company, and is a profitable enterprise. The chief editor is Mr. Louis
Jennings, an
