Tho coming yonr promises to be
tile most evontful in a political sense
that VIC have seen since the close of
tho war. Tho questions which have
engrossed and divided the public
mind during tho past twenty years
are rapidly passing away, nnd wo
find growing up in dit1oront parts Of
the country pnrty called by vnri-
Gus namos---in California the Inde-
pendent party, in Iowa tho Anti
Monopoly party, in Wisconsin the
Reform party, in Illinois the
Farmers Movoment---having eom-
mon purpose and inspiration, and
exhibiting strength which proves
that it answers one Of the chief de-
mands Of the hour. Tho CHICAGO
TRIBUNE will give q large share
of its attention to this NEW MAN.
HESITATION OF PUBLIC SENTI-
MENT. It holds:
LIST. THAT the old party organiza-
tions are essentially corrupt and
fraudulent. Having no longer any
principles to carry into effect, they
have become mere business enter
prisos, making show Of opposition
to each other, but really sharing in
the proceeds Of prohigate and dis
honest legislation. To suppose that
any healthful reform can flow from
tho pretended efforts Of these worn
OUT and demoralized partnerships
is altogether vain and illusory.
I'd. That the tariff system now in
vogue is cunning device to rob the
many for the benefit Of tho few, and
that its effect is to cause farm pro-
ducts to exchange for about one-ha1f
the quantity Of foreign or s*pro-
tected" goods they would otherwise
buy. -
Sd. That railroads cannot exact
more than b fair rate of interest on
tho capital actually invested in them,
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 between different
localities are in violation Of law and
should be prohibited.
18th. That subsidies or bounties of
money, land, or public credit, to
railway, steamship, or other corpo-
rations. arc hngrant abuses of the
powors Of government, fraught with
tho gravest dangers to the people,
and tending to promote corruption,
extravaganza, speculation, and
disaster.
Tho general character of THE
CHICAGO TRIBUNE is too well |
established to need reorganization.
1t is always independent and fear
less in tho expression Of its views. I
In its 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 weok, brought down to the
hour Of going to press.
Literary, political, financial, So
oial, and agricultural topics will
constitute, as heretofore, leading
features Of tho Weekly Edition, and
no pains will be spared to increase
it's attractivenoss in these depart
ments. Its market reports are I'M
surpassed, embracing all tho infor-
nation which farmers require for
the Intelligent transaction Of busi-
ness, both as sellers nnd buyers.
THE WEEKLY TRIBUNE is o
large eight-page sheet, Of the same
5iao Us the Daily Tribune, consisting
IF hfty-six columns of closely
printed matter, and, as q family
newspaper and in it's general make
1p, is unsurpassed by any paper in
tho land.
THE TRIBUNE will bo furnished
auring the ensuing year at the fol-
owing rates, payable in advance:
