PROSPECTUS FOR 1874.
The coming year promises to be
the most oventful in political sense
that we have seen since the close Of
tho war. The questions which have
engrosBed 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 q 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 tho
Farmers MISUNDERSTANDING q com.
mon purpose and inspiration, and
exhibiting q strength which proves
that it answers one Of tho 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:
lst. That the old party organlza-
tions are essentially corrupt and
fraudulent. Having no longer any
principles to carry into effect, they
have become mere business enter
prises, making show Of opposition
to each other, but really sharing in
tho proceeds Of prohigate and dis
honest legislation. To suppose that
any healthft1 reform can flow from
the pretended efforts Of these worn-
out and demoralized partnerships
is altogether vain and illusory.
I'd. That the tariff system now in
vogue is q 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-han
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 watered
stock and fraudulent bonds, the
stete may rightfully interfere for the
protection OF the people; thatunjust
disoriminations between different
localities are In violation Of law and
should be prohibited.
4th. That subsidies or bo1lnties OF
money, land, or public credit, to
railway, steamship, or other corpo-
rations. are 1agrant abuses Of the
powers of government, fraught with
tho gravest dangers to the people,
and tending to promote corruption,
extravaganza, speculation, and
financial disaster.
The general character Of TEE
CHICAGO TRIBUNE is too we'll
established to need rocapitrlation.
It is always independent and fear
less in the expression Of its views.
In its news department. it is second
to no paper in the United States.
The Weekly Edition contains care
fully prepared summary Of tho 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 tho Weekly Edition, and

it's attractiveness in these depart
ments. It's market reports are un~
surpassed, embracing all the infor-
nation which farmers require for
the Intelligent transaction Of busi~
ness, both as sellers and buyers.

large eight-pnge shoot, Of the same
size as the Daily Tribune, consisting
OF Hfty-six columns Of closely
printed matter, and, as o family
newspaper and in it's general make
up, is unsurpassed by any paper in
the land.

lowing rates, payable in advance:
