PROSPECTUS FOR 1874.
Tho coming year promises to be
the most eventtul in q political sonse
that Wo have seen since the close Of
tho war. Tho questions which 11avo
engrossod and divided the public
mind during the past twenty yoars
are rapidly passing away, and we
lind growing up in different parts Of
the country party called by vari-
ous namos---in California the Inde-
pendent party, in Iowa the Anti
Monopoly party, in Wisconsin the
Reform party, in Illinois the
Farmers Movoment---having CON-
mon purpose and inspiration, and
exhibiting d strength which proves
that 1t answers ono Of the chief de-
mands of the hour. Tho CHICAGO
TRIBUNE will give large share
of It's attention to this NEW MAN.
HESITATION OF PUBLIC SENTI-
MENT. It holds:
lst. That tho old party organ1za-
tions are essentially corrupt and
fraudulent. Having no longer any
principles to curry into effect, they
hnVe become mere business enter
prises, making show Of opposition
to each other, but really sharing in
the proceeds Of profiigato and dis
honest legislatia11. To suppose that
any healthful reform can flow from
the pretended efforts Of these worn
out and domora1izod partnerships
is altogether vain and i11usory.
Cd. That tho tariff system now in
vogue is cunning dovico to rob tho
many for the boncfit of tho few, and
that it's effect is to cause farm pro-
ducts to exchange Tor about one-hulf
the quantity Of foreign or "pro-
tocted" goods thoy would otherwise
buy.
3D.. That railroads cannot exact
moro than a fair rate Of interest on
the capital actually invested in them,
and that whom, in addition to this,
they claim dividends on watered
stock and fraudulent bonds, the
State may rightfully Interfere for tho
protection OF the people thnt 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-
rhtiona. are hagrant abuses Of tho
powers Of government, traught with
the gravest dangers to the pooplo,
nnd tending to promote corruption,
extravaganza, speculation, and
fnancial disaster.
The general character Of THE
CIICAGO TRIBUNE is too we'll
estnblishod to need reorganization.
It is always independent and fear-
loss in the expression of its views.
In its news department it is second
to no paper in the United stc.tes.
Tho Weekly Edition contains care
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, loading
features OF the Weekly Edition, and
no pains will be spared to increase
it's attractiveness in these depart
ments. It's market reports are un~
surpassed, embracing all tho infor-
nation which farmers require for
tho Intelligent transaction Of bust
moss, both as sellers and buyers.
TIE WEEKLY TRIBUNE is
largo eight-page sheet, Of tho same
sizo as the Duly Tribune, consisting
OF hfty-six columns Of closely
printed matter, and, as family
newspaper and in ita general mako
up, is unsurpassed by any paper in
the lend.
. TILE TRIBUNE will be furnished
during tho ensuing yoar ut the fol-
lowing rates, payable in advance:
