THE ISSUES.

L II Il ISS ~ ESa
It seems to be morally certain that, with
the extinction of slavery and its adiuncts,
| and the ratification of the fifteenth Amend
| ment, questions relating to the public Debt,
| Taxation, aud the Currency will be the rul-
ing and governing issues upon which the
country will be divided It's proper, there
fore, to indicate the views OF those questions
| which The TRIBUNE will maintain and de-
| feud 1t holds
| l. That an irredeemable and fuctuating
currency is the most expensive, injurious,
and oppressive form of circulating medium
| for all classes OF people, excepting only the
| spectators and stock-gamblers.
q That the credit Of the nation is its most
valuable possession, and that the efforts Of
the government should be constantly direct
ed TO the Improvement of its credit, to the
end that its bonded debt may be refunded at
a lower rate Of interest.
3. That, witt the restoration of the public
credit, the business of banking should be
made free, subject to the safeguards which
are now or may hereafter be prescribed by
law
f. That all taxes imposed upon the people
should be adjusted solely with view to the
raising OF revenue for the government, and
that there should be material and speedy
reduction in the existing rate of taxation,
both under the internal revenue and the
tariff SYSTEMS,
AS A NEWSPAPER

ern journals. 1t expends more money for
news than any other publication ives: of
New York 1t maintains a corps of CORE
spoadentS and special reporters equal in
number and intelligence to those of any
New York paper, and, by liberal Use of the
telegraph, it IS enabled to bring before West
ern readers ali the news oft the day-politicai
commercial and miscelaneous-tr ddgS
earlier than any Eastern journal.
IT'S MARKET REPORTS
| Are unusually full and minute The great
commercial staples OF the West, which are
of especial interes. and importance to its
readers, and which, in Eastern papers, are
| necessarily limited or omitted altogether

| farmer or trader gains this information from
! Chicago two dayi earlier than he can get it
! from an Eastern paper, even if he finds it
| there at all The telegraph market repor s
| of THE TRIBUNE embrace every commercial
| center of Europe and the United States which
! can have any influence upon Western pro-
| duce, trade, or industry. It's reports of the
! cattle nso3 kets of Chicago and the principal
| Eastern cities are prepared with the utmost
