PROSPECTUS FOR 1874.

FhOSEECIUS FOR 1874.
The coming year promises to ba
the most eventful in political sense
that we havo soon since tho close OF
tho War. Tho questions which have
ongrossed and divided the public
mind during tho past twonty years
are rapidly passing away, and We
find growing up in different parts Of
the country q party called by vari-
ous names---in California the Indc-
pendent party, in Iowa tho Anti
Monopoly party, in Wisconsin tho
Reform party, in Illinois tho
Farmers omont---hnving CON-
mon purpose and inspiration, and
exhibiting q strength which proves
that it answers ono Of tho chief de-
mands Of the hour. THE CHICAGO
TRIBUNE will give large share
Of its attention to this NEW MAN.
HESITATION OF PUBLIC sENTI.
MENT. It holds:
lst. That tho old party organlza.
tions are essentially corrupt and
fraudulent. Having no longer any
principles to carry into effect, they
have become moro businocs ontcr.
prises, making show of opposition
to each other, but really sharing in
tho proceeds Of proAigate and dis
honest legislation. To suppose that
any hca1thful reform can how from
the pretended efforts of these worn-
out end domoralized partnerships
is altogether vain and illrsory.
I'd. That the tariff system now in
vogue is q cunning device to rob tho
many for the benefit Of tho few, and
that it's effect is to cause farm pro-
ducts to exchange for about ono-half
the quantity of foreign or "pro-
tocted" goods thoy would otherwise
buy.
Sd. That railroads cannot exact
more than O fair rate Of interest on
tho capital actually invested in tho1n,
and that when, in addition to this,
they claim dividends on watered
stock and fraudulent bonds, the
State may rightfully Interfere for tho
protection Of the people; thatunjust
DETERMINATIONS botween dif1eront
localities nro 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 1agrant abuses Of Che
powers of government, fraught with
the graVest dangers to tho people,
and tending to promote corruption,
oxtravagance, speculation, and
financial disastor.
Tho general character Of TEE
CHICAGO TRIBUNE is too we'll
established to noed rccapit1lation.
It is always independent and fear-
Less in the expression OF its v1eWs-
In it's news department it is second
to no pnpcr in the United Statos.
