PROSPECTUS FOR 1874.

Tho coming year promises to bo
tho most eventful in political sonso
that We have soon since the closo Of
tho war. Tho questions which have
ongrossod and divided tho public
mind during tho past twenty years
are rapidly passing away, and wo
find growing up in different parts Of
tho country @ party called by vari-
Gus namos---in California the Indo-
pendont party, in Iowa tho Anti
Monopoly party, in Wisconsin the
Reform party, in Illinois the
Farmors' Movement-~-having q COM
mon purpose and inspiration, and
exhibiting @ strength which proves
that it answers one Of the chief de-
mands Of the hour. Tho CHICAGO
TRIBUNE will givo large share
Of it's attention to this NEW MAN.
HESITATION OF PUBLIC sENTI-
MENT. It holds:
1st. That the old party organ1za-
tions are essentially corrupt and
fraudulent. Having no longor any
principles to carry into effect, they
have become moro business enter
priees, making show Of opposition
to each other, but really sharing in
tho proceeds Of prof1igato and dis
honest legislation. TO suppose that
any hoa1thful reform can flow from
the protonded efforts Of these worn
out and demoralized partnerships
ia altogether vain and illusory.
ed. That the tariff system now in
vogue is cunning device to rob tho
many for the benefit Of the few, and
that its effect is to cause farm pro-
ducts to exchange for about ono-half
tho quantity Of foreign Or "pro~
tootod" goods they would otherwise
buy.
Sd. That railroads cannot exact
moro than q 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 intorfore for tho
protection OF the people; that unjust
determinations betwoon different
localities aro in violation Of law end
should be prohibited.
4th. That subsidies or bounties Of
money, land, or public crodit, to
railway, steamship, or other corpo-
rations, are Hagrant abuses Of the
powers of government, fraught with
tho graVest dangers to tho people,
and tending to promote corruption,
extravaganza, speculation, and
financial disaster.
The general character of TEE
CHICAGO TRIBUNE is too we'll
established to need rooapitu1ation.
It is always independent and foar-
less in tho expression of its views.
In its news department it ia second
to no paper in the United States.

Of the week. brought down to the
hour Of going to pross.
Literary, political, financial. So
cial, and agricultural topics will

monts. Its market reports arc un-
surpassed, embracing all the infor-
nation which farmers require for
the Intelligent transaction of busi-
moss, both as sellers and buyers.
