PROSPECTUS FOR 1874.

the most eventful in q political songu
that We have seen since the close OF
tho war. The questions which have
| engrossed and divided the public
mind during the past twenty years
are rapidly passing away, and we
find growing up in different parts OF
the country party called by vari.
GUS names---in California the Inde-
pendent party, in: Iowa the Anti.
Monopoly party, in Wisconsin tho
Reform party, in Illinois the
Farmers Movemont~--having COM
mon purpose and inspiration, and
exhibiting strength which proves
| that it answers one Of the chief de.
mands of the hour. The CHICAGO
TRIBUNE will give large share
Of it's attention to this NEW MAN.
HESITATION OF PUBLIC sENTI-
MENT. It holds:
LIST. That the old party organ1za-
tions are essentially corrupt and
fraudulent. Having no longer any
principles to carry into effect, they
| have become moro business enter
prises, making q show Of opposition
to each other, but really sharing in
the proceeds Of profigate and dis
honest legislation. To suppose that
any healthfm reform can flow from
the pretended etfc its Of these worn
out and demornlized partnerships
is altogether vain and nluaory.
= I'd. That the tariff system, now in
vogue is cunning device to rob the
many for the benefit Of the few, and
that it's effect is to cause farm pro-
ducts to exchange for about one-half
the quantity of 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 wetered
stock and fraudulent bonds, the
State may rightfully Interfere for the
protection Of the people; that unjust
determinations between different
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-
rationB, are hagrant abuses Of tho
powers Of government, fraught with
/ the graVest dangers to the people,
and tending to promote corruption,
extravagance, speculation, and
financial disaster.
The general character Of THE
CHICAGO TRIBUNE is too well
7 established to need recapitu1ation.
1t is always independent and fear-
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 caro-
i fully prepared summary Of the news
Of the week, brought down to the
hour Of going to press.
Literary, political, financial, So
cial, and. agricultural topics will
constitute, as heretofore, leading
features Of the Woekly Edition, and
no pains will be spared to increase
its attraotiveness in these depart
ments. It's market reports are un-
surpassed, embracing all tho infor-
nation which farmers require for
the intelligent transaction Of busi-
ness, both as sellers and buyers.
T: THE WEEKLY TRIBUNE is q
large eight-page sheet, Of the same
size as the Daily Tribune, consisting
Of ffty-six columns of closely
printed matter, and, as d family
newspaper and in its general make
up, is unsurpassed by any paper in
the land.
THE TRIBUNE will be furnished
during the ensuing year at the fol-
lowing rates, payable in advance:
