The coming year promises to be the most
tyentlul IN a political sense that we have seen
since the close of the war. The questions
which have engrossgd and divided the public
mind during the past twenty years are rapid
" passing away, and we find growing up IN
different parts Of the country a party called
by various names-in California the hide
pendent party, in Iowa, the Anti Monopoly
party, in Wisconsin the Reform party, in
Illinois the Farmers MISUNDERSTANDING i
common purpose and inspiration, and eXhib
iting "A strength which proves that it answers
one of the chief demands Of the hour. THE
CHICAGO TRIBUNE viii give large share
of its attention to this NEW MANIFESTO
TION OF PUBLIC SENTIMENT. IL holds :
LIST That the old party organizations are
essentially corrupt and fraudulent Having no
longer any principles to carry into effect,
they have become mere business enterprises
making a show of opposition to each other,
but really sharing in the proceeds OF profit
gate and dishonest legislation. To suppose
tnat any beautiful reform can flow from the
pretended efforts Of these WORKOUT and de
moralized partnerships is altogether vain and
illusOry.
2ad. That the tariff system now in vogue
is a cunning device to rob the many for the
benefit of the few, and that its effect is to
cause farm products to exchange for about
one-half the quantity of foreign or protect
ed" goods they would otherwise buy
3D. That railroads cannot exact more than
a fair rate Of interest on the capital actually
invested in them, aud 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 corporations, are fragrant abuses of
the powers Of government, traught with the
grayest dangers TO the people, and tending
TO promote corruption, extravaganza, specu-
latiou, and financial disaster,
The general character Of THE CHICAGO
TRIBUNE is TOO well established to need re-
capitulation. 1t is always independent and
fearless IN the expression of its views. In
It's news department. it is second to no paper
in the United States. The weekly edition
contains carefully prepared summary Of the
news of the week, brought down to the hour
of going to press.
4 Literary, political, financial, social and ag-
ricultura topics will constitute, as hereto
fore, leading features Of the weekly edition,
and no pins viii be spared to increase its
attractiveness in these departments. It's
market reports are unsurpassed, embracing
all the information which farmers require for
the intelligent transaction of business, both
I as sellers and buyers.
