PROSPECTUS FOR 1874.
The coming year promises to bo
the most eventftll in q political 9ense
thGt we have seen since the close OF
tho war. The questions which have
ongrossed and divided the public
mind during tho past twenty years
are rapidly passing away, and wo
find growing up in di1oront parts OF
tho country q party callod by vari-
GUS namos---in California the Indo-
pendent party, in Iowa the Anti
Monopoly party, in Wisconsin tho
Reform party, in Illinois the
Farmers Movoment---having COM
mon purpose and inspiration, and
exhibiting q strength which proves
that it answers one Of tho chief do
mands Of the hour The CHICAGO
TRIBUNE will givo largo share
Of its attention to this NEW MAN.
HESITATION OF PUBLIC SENTI-
MENT. It holds:
lst. That the old party organ1za-
tions are essentially corrupt and
fraudulent. Having no longer any
principles to carry into effect, they
have become nero business enter-
prises, making show Of opposition
to each other, but roally sharing in
the proceeds Of protligate and dis
s,onest legislation. TO suppose that
any healthful reform can flow from
the pretended efforts Of these worn-
out and deu1oralizod partnerships
is altogether vain and i1lusory.
I'd. That the tariff system now in
vogue is cunning device to rob the
many for tho benefit Of the few, and
that it's effect is to cause farm pro-
ducts to exchange for about one-half
tho quantity Of foreign or "pro-
tected" goods they would otherwise
buy.
| Sd. That railroads cannot exact
more than fair rate Of interest on
the capital actually invested in them,
and that when, in addition to this,
they claim dividends on watered
stock and fraudulent bonds, the
State may rightfully Interfere for the
protection OF the people; that unjust
| determinations between different
localities are in violation Of law and
should be prohibited.
4th. That subsidies or bounties OF
money, land, or public credit, to
railway, steamship, or other corpo-
rntions, are fagrant abuses Of the
powors Of government, fraught with
! the gravest dangers to the people,
! and tending to promote corruption.

Tho general character of TIE
CHICAGO TRIBUNE is too we'll
established to need recnpitulation.
It is always independent and fehr-
loss in tho expression Of its views.
In it's news department it is second
to no paper in the United Stntos.
The Weokly Edition contains care
fully prepared summary Of the news
of tho week, brought down to the
hour Of going to press.
Literary, political, financial, so-
cia1, and agricultural topics will
constitute, as heretofore, leading
features Of tho Wookly Edition, and
no pains will bo spared to increase
its attractivenoss in these depart"
monts. It's market reports arc un"
surpassed, embracing oil tho infor-
nation which farmers require for
tho Intelligent transaction Of busi.
ness, both rs sollors and buyers.

large eight-pago sheet, Of tho same
size as the Daily Tribune, consisting
of tlfty-six columns Of closely

newspaper and in it's genora1 mako
up, is unsurpassed by any papor in
