THE ISSUES.

It seems to be morally certain that, with
the extinction Of slavery and its adjuncts
and the ratification of the fifteenth Amend
ment, questions relating to the public Debt,
Taxation, and the Currency will be the rul.
ing and governing issues upon which the
country viii be divided. It's proper, there
fore, to indicate the views of those questions
which The TRIBUNE will maintain and de.
fend Ii holds
/. That an irredeemable and fuctuating
currency is the most expensive, injurious
aud oppressive form Of circulating medium
| for all classes OF people, excepting only The
spectators and stock-gamblers
2. That the credit Of the nation is its most
valuable possession, and that the efforts Of
the government should be constantly direct
ed 10 the Improvement of its credit, to the
end that its bonded debt may be refunded al
lower rate of interest.
3. That, with 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
4. That all taxes imposed upon the Peep e
should be adjusted solely with view TO Il G
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.

THE TRIBUNE claims pTe-enainence among Vest
ern journals. 1t eZpends more money for

New York 1t maintains corps of CORE
spondents 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 all the news Of the day-politica
commercial, and miscellaneous-taro days
sarIier 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, aud which, III 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 reports
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 ma, hets Of Chicago and the principal
Eastern cities are prepared with the utmost
care. by special reporters OF long experience
and training. In its
