PROSPECTUS FOR 1874.

Tho coming year promises to be
the most oventfl1l in political sense
that wo have seen since the close Of
tho war. Tho questions which have
engrossed and divided the public
mind during tho past twonty years
are rapidly passing away, and wo
find growing up In different parts Of
the country party called by vnri~
GUS namoB---in California the Indo-
pendent party, in 1own tho Anti
Monopoly party, in Wisconsin tho
Reform purity, in Illinois the
Farmers Movement---having COM
mon purpose and inspiration, and
exhibiting strength which proves
that it answers one Of tho chief do
mands of the hour. Tho CHICAGO
TRIBUNE will give large share
Of it's attention to this NEW MAN.
HESITATION OF PUBLIC SENTI-
MENT. It holds:
LIST. That tho old party organ1za-
tions arc essentially corrupt and
fraudulent. Having no longer any
principles to carry into effect, they
havo become nero business entor-
prises, making q show of opposition
to each other, but really sharing in.
the proceeds OF prof1ignte and dis-
honest legislation. TO suppose that
any 1ealthful reform can How from
the pretended efforts Of these worn-
out and demoralizod partnerships
is altogether vain and illusory.
I'd. That the tariff system now in
vogue is O. cunning device to rob the
many for the be'"~ ~~+: Of tho few, and
that its effect is u cnuso farm pro-
ducts to exchange for about one-hulf
the quantity Of foreign or "pro-
tocted" goods they would otherwise
buy.
Sd. That railroads cannot exact
moro than fair rate Of interest on
the capital actual1y invested in them,
and that when, in addition to this,
they claim dividends on. watored
stock and fraudulent bonds, the
State may rightfully interfere for the
protection Of the people; that unjust
DETERMINATIONS between different
localities nre 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 fragrant abuses of the
powers of government, fraught with
tho gravest dangers to the people,
and tending to promote corruption,
extravaganza, speculation, and
financial disastor.
The general character OF THE
CEICAGO TRIBUNE is too we'll
established to need recapitulation.
It is always independent md foar-
less in the expression of it's views.
In its news department. it is second
to no paper in the United States.
The Weekly Edition contains q caro-
fully prepared summary Of the news
Of tho week, brought down to tho
hour Of going to press.
Literary, political, financial, So
cial, and agricultural topics will
constitute, as heretofore, leading
features Of tho Weekly Edition, and
no pains will be spared to increase
it's attractiveness in these depart
monts. It's market reports arc lln-
surpassed, embracing ELL the intor-
nation which farmers require for
the Intelligent transaction OF busi-
ness, both as sellers and buyers.
TEE WEEKLY TRIBUNE is q
largo oight-page sheet, Of tho Same
size Us the Daily Tribune, consisting
OF tlfty-six columns Of Closely
printed matter, and, us family
newspaper and in its general make
up, is unsurpassed by any paper in
tho land.

lowing rates, payable in advanoe:
