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 ruiz
inc 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. 1t holds
That an irredeemable and fluctuating
currency is the most expensive, injurious,
and oppressive form of circulating medium
for ALI classes OF people, excepting only the
SPECTATORS and stock-gamblers.
Q That the credit Of the nation is ito 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 it's bonded debt may be refunded at
a 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.
A. That all taxes imposed upon the people
| should be adjusted solely with a 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
| The TRIBUNEclaims pre- enainence among West-
ern journals 1t expends more money for
news than any other publication ives; of
! New York. 1t maintains corps of CORE
| spondents and special reporters equal in
number aud intelligence to those of any
| New York paper, and, by liberal use OF the
| telc graph, it is enabled to bring before West
ern readers ali The news of the day-political,
COMMERCIAL and miscellaneous-t,Vo days
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 interest and importance to its
readers, and which, in Eastern papers, are
necessarily limited or omitted altogether,
are infinitely considered, and the Western
| 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. Its reports of the
cattle man kets of Chicago and the principal
Eastern cities are prepared with the utmost
care, by special reporters of long experience
and training. In its
