PROSPECTUS FOR 1874.
! Tho coming year promises to be
the most eventfu1 in a poitien1 sonHe
that we have seen since the close Of
the war; The questions which have
engrossod and divided. the public
mind during the past twenty years
are rapidly passing away, and we
find growing up in different parts Of
tho country 9 party called by vari-
ous names---in California tho Inde-
pendent party, IN Iowa tho Anti
Monopoly party, in Wisconsin the
Reform party, in Illinois the
Farmers Movement---having o oon1-
mon purpose and inspiration, and
exhibiting a strength which proves
that it answers one Of the chief do
mands Of the hour. The CHICAGO
TRIBUNE will give q large share
Of its attention to this NEW MAN.
HESITATION OF PUBLIC SENTI-
MENT. It holds:
1st. That the old party organiza-
tions are essentially corrupt and
fraudulent, Having no longer any
principles to carry into effect, they
have become mere business enter
prises, making q show Of opposition
to each other, but really sharing in
tho proceeds Of profligate and dis
honest legislation. 70 suppose that
any healthfm reform can flow from
the pretended efforts Of these worm
out and demoraliZed partnerships
Is altogether vain and ilusory.
Cd. That the tariff system now in
vogue is cunning device to rob the
many for tho benefit Of the few, and
that its effect is to cause farm pro-
ducts to exchange for about one-ha1f
the quantity Of foreign or "pro-
teoted" goods they would otherwise
buy. f
Sd. That railroads cnnnot: exact
moro than fair ratio 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 rightfu11y Interfere for the
protection OF the people; that unjust
Determinations botwoen different
localities are IN, violation Of law and
should be prohibited.
4th. That subsidies or bountieg Of
money, land, or public credit, to
railway, steamship, or other oorpo-
rations. are fagraut abuses of the
powers Of government, fraught with
tho gravost dangers to the people,
and tending to promote corruption,
oxtraVagance, :. speculation, and
dnan oial disastor.,
