PkOf fESSlONAL MAN,
AND THE FlRRSIDEE.
PROSPECTUS FOR 1874.
Tho coming year promises to be
the most oventful in a political sense
that we have soen since tho close Of
the war. Tho questions which have
engrossod and divided tho public
mind during tho past twenky years
are rapidly passing away, and *wo
find growing up in different parts Of
the country party called by vari-
GUS names---in California the 1ndo-
pendent party, in Iowa tho Anti
Monopoly party, in Wisconsin the
Reform party, in Illinois the
Farmers Moven nent---haVing om-
mon purpose and inspiration, ind
exhibiting strength which proves
that it answers one Of tho chief de-
mands Of the hour. The CHICA 60
TRIBUNE will give a large share
Of its attention to this NEW MAN.
HESITATION OF PUBLIC SENTI-
MENT. 1t 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 more business enter-4
prises, making show Of opposition,
to each other, but really sharing. in.
the proceeds Of profligate and dis.
honest legislation. 70 suppose that
any healthfnl reform can flow fromA.
the pretended efforts Of these worn-t
out and demoralized partnerships
Is altogether vain and illusory.
I'd. That the tariff system now in i
vogue is q cunning device to rob the:
many for the benefit Of the few, and.
that its effect is to cause farm pro-.
ducts to exchange for about one-ha1f''
the quantity Ct foreign or "pro-.
tected" goods they would otherwise
buy.
Sd. That railroads cannot exact:
more than fair rate Of interest on.
the capital actually invested in them,.
and that when, in addition to this,
they claim dividends on wateredI
stock and fraudulent bonds, thet
State may rightfaally interfere for the'
protection Of the people; thatunjust;
determinations between diHerentl
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 corpo-.
rations, are fragrant abuses of the
powers Of government, fraught with,
the gravest dangers to the people,
nnd tending to promote oorruption,.
extravaganoe, speculation, and.
financial disaster.
The general character Of THE
CHICAGO TRIBUNE is too well,
established to need rocapitu1ation.
= It is always independent and fear-4
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 the week, brought down to the,
hour Of going to press.
Literary, political, financial, So.
oial, and agricultural topics will
constitute, az heretofore, leading:
features Of the Weekly Edition, and. :.

ments. Its market reports are un-

ness, both as sellers and buyers.
