PROSPECTUS FOR 1874.


The coming year promises to bo
the most oventful in q political sense
that VIC haVo seon since tho close OF
the war. Tho questions which have
engrossed end divided tho public
mind during the past twenty years
arc rapidly passing AWAY, and we
find growing up in different parts OF
tho country party called by verl-
ous namos---in California the lnde-
pendent party, in Iowa tho Anti |
Monopoly party, in Wisconsin the !
Reform party, In Illinois the
Farmers Movoment---having q COM |
mon purpose and inspiration, and
exhibiting O. strength which proves
that it answers one Of the chief de-
mands Of tho hour. The CHICAGO
TRIBUNE will give large share
of its attention to this NEW MAN
! HESITATION OF PUBLIC SENTI-
! MENT. Tt holds:
| lst. That the old party organiza-
tious arc essentially corrupt and
| fraudulent. Having no longer any
| principles to carry into effect, they
| have become mere business enter
prises, making show Of opposition
| to each other, but really sharing IN
the proceeds Of pro1igate and dis
honest legislation. To suppose that
anv healthful reform can flow from
the pretended efforts Of these worm
out and demoralized partnerships
is altogether vain and illusory.
I'd. That the tariff system now in
vogue is cunning device to rob the
many for the benefit Of the fow, and
that its effect is to cause farm pro-
ducts to exchange for about one-hnh
the 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 thom,
and that when, in addition to this,
they claim dividends on watored
stock and fraudulent bonds, the
State may rightfu1ly Interfere for the
protection OF the people; thatunjust
determinations between different
localities are in violation Of law and
should be prohibited.
9th, That subsidies or bounties OF
money, land, or public credit, to
railway, steamship, or other oorpo-
rations, are hagrant abuses OF the
) powers Of government, fraught with
the gravest dangers to the people,
and tending to promote corruption,
extravaganza, speculation, and
financial disaster.
The general character Of TIE
) CHICAGO TRIBUNE is too well
established to need reoapitulation
! It is always independent and fear
: less in the expression of it's views
: In it's news department it is second
to no paper in the United States
- Tho W ee]1ly Edition contains a care
fully prepared summary Of the news
Of the week, brought down to thu
hour Of going to press.
Literary, political, financial, 80
, cial, and agricultural topics vii
J; constitute, as heretofore, loading
i. features of tho Weekly Edition, ant
i. no pains will DO spared to increase
: its attractiveness in these depart
4 ments. Its market reports are un
+ surpassed, embracing ell the tnfor
i nation which farmers require TO
! the Intelligent transaction Of busi
a ness, both as sellers and buyers.
