PROSPECTUS FOR 1874.

*Ine coming year promises TO DO
the most eventfu1 in political sense
that we have soon since tho close Of
the war. The questions which havo
engrossed and divided tho public
mind during the past twenty years
are rapidly passing away, and VIC
find growing up in different parts Of
the country d party called by vari-
ous nan1es---in California tho Indo-
pendent party, in Iowa the Anti
Monopoly party, in Wisconsin the
Reform party, in Illinois the
Farmers Movement---having O COM
mon purpose and inspiration, and
exhibiting strength which proves
that it answers one OF the chief de-
mands Of the hour. The CHICAGO
TRIBUNE will give large share
Of it's attention to this NEW MAN
IFEsTATION OF PUBLIC sENTI-
MENT. 1t holds:
lst. That the old party organisa-
tions are essentially corrupt and
fraudulent. Having no longer any
principles to carry into effect, they
have become more business enter
prises, making show Of opposition
to each other, but really sharing in
the proceeds Of profligate and dis
honest legislation. TO suppose that
any hea1thfu1 reform can flow from
the pretended efforts Of these worn
out and demoralized partnerships
is altogether vain and u1usory.
I'd. That the tariff system now in
vogue is cunning dovico to rob the
many for tho benefit Of the fow, and
that its effect is to cnnse fnrm pro-
ducts to exchange for about one-half
the quantity Of foreign or stpro-
tected" goods they would otherwise
buy.
Sd. That railroads cannot exact
more than O 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; thatunjust
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 oorpo-
rations, are hagrnnt abuses Of the
powers Of government, haught with
the gravest dangera to the people,
and tending to promote corruption,
extravaganza, speculation, and
financial disaster.
The general character Of TIE
CHICAGO TRIBUNE is too we'll
established to need recapitu1ation.
It is always independent and faar-
less 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 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 the Weekly Edition, and
no pains will be spared to increase
its attraotiveneBs in these depart
ments. It's market reports are un-
surpassed, embracing oil tho infor-
nation which farmers require for
the Intelligent transaction of busi-
ness, both as sellers and buyers.
THE WEEKLY TRIBUNE is a
large eight-page sheet, Of the same
size as the Daily Tribune, consisting
of fifty-six columns Of closely
printed matter, and, Us o family
newspaper and in it's general make,
up, is unsurpassed by any paper in
the land.

during the ensuing year at the fol
lowing rates, payable in advanco:
