the most eventfu1 in q political sense
that we have seen since tho close Of
tho war. The questions which have
ongrossed and divided the public
mind during tho past twenty years
are rapidly passing away, and we
IND growing up in different parts of
the country party called by vari-
ous names---in California the Inde-
pendent party, in Iowa the Anti
monopoly party, in Wisconsin tho
Reform party, in Illinois tho
Farmers MoVemont---havinga O COM
mon purpose aud inspiration, and
exhibiting a strength which proves
that it answers one of the chief de-
mands Of the hour. The CHICAGO
TRIBUNE will give largo share
Of its attention to this NEW MAN.
HESITATION OF PUBLIC sENTI-
MENT. It holds:
lst. That the old party organ1za-
t1ons are essentially corrupt and
fraudulent. Having no longer any
principles to carry into effect, they
have become mere business ontor-
prises, making show of opposition
to each other, but really sharing in
the proceeds Of pronigate and dis
honest legislation. To suppose that
any healthfu1 reform can flow from
the pretended oftorts Of those worm
out and demoralized partnerships
is altogether vain and illusory.
I'd. That tho tariff system now in
vogue is a 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-half
the quantity of foreign or "pro-
teoted" goods they would otherwise
buy.
Sd. THAT railroads cannot exact
more than fair rate of interest on
the capital actually invested in thom.
and that when, in addition to this.
they claim dividends on watered
stock and fraudulent bonds. the
State may rightfully interfere for the
protection Of the people; that unjust
determinations betwoon different I
localitios nre in violation Of law and
should be prohibited.
4th. That subsidies or bounties Of
money, land, OF public credit, to
railway, steamship, or other corpo-
are fagrant abuses Of the
powers Of government, fraught with
the gravest dangers to the people,
and tending to promote corruption,
speculation, and
financial disaster.
The general character of THE
TRIBUNE is too we'll
established to need reorganization.
1t is always independent and fenr-
.oss in the expression Of its views.
In its news department it is second
20 no pnpor in the United States.

:ully prepared summary Of tho news
If the week. brought down to the
