1t enjoys. distinguished characteristic Of the
Chicago Tribune Is, thBt ii always boldly takes
the I'M iative on important public questions, and
waits for time and reflection among the paople to
prove that tits right.
THE ISSUES.
II seems to be morally certain that, with the ex-
tnccion of slavery and its abjunets, and the rat-
cation of the Fifteenth Amendment, questions re-
lating to the Public Debt, Taxation, and the Cur
rcncy viii be thu ruling and governing issues
upon which the country will be divided. 1t Is
proper, therefore, to indicate the views of those
questions which the Tribune will maintsin and
defend. 1t holds
1. That an irredeemabe and fuetuating cur.
rency is the most expensive, injurious and opprcs-
siye form of circulating medium for all classes Of
people, excepting only the speculators and stock
2. That the credit of the nation is its most val
liable poss ession, and that the efforts of the gov
eminent should be constantly directed to the inn
provement of its credit to the end that its bonded
debt may DO refunded at lower rate of interest
q. 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.
l. That all taxes imposed upon the people
should be adjusted solely with view to the rails
ing OF revenue FOR the government, and that there
shonid be material and speedy reduction in the
existing rate of taxation, both under the internal
revenue and the tariff systems. .
AS A NEWSPAPER
The Tribune claims prominence among Western
any other publication west of New York. II
maintains corps of correspondents ana SPECIAL
reporters equal in nuinber and intelligence to
any New York paper, and by n liberal use of the
telegsaph 1t is enabled to bring before Western
readers all the news of the day--political com
mercial, and miscellaneous--two days earlier than
any Eastern Journal.
ITS MARKET REPORTS
Are unusually full and minute. The great com.
mercfal staples of the West, which are of especial
interest AMI importance to its readers, and which,
in Eastern papers, are necessarily limited or omit
ted altogether, are infinitely consd cred and the
Western farmer or trader gains this information
from Chicago two days earlier than he can get IL
from an Eastern paper, even If he finds IL there at
all. The telegraph market reports of the Tribune
embrace every commercial centre of Europe and
the United States which can have any influence
upon Western produce, trade, or industry. Its re-
ports OF the cattle markets OF Chicago and the
principal Eastern cities are prepared with the ut.
most care by special reporters Of long experience
and training IN its

United States AZ family paper. and in order to
plrce il within the reach of every Farmer, Me
chanic, Business Man and Family in the West, we
have made the following extraordinarily low

the size OF the sheet and the amount of reading
matter that IL contains. makes the Tribune the
cheapest paper in the United States.
