PROSPECTUS FOR 1874.
The coming year promises to be
the most eventfu1 in O. political sense
that we have seen since tho close Of
the war. The questions which have
engrossed and divided the public
mind during the past twonty years
are rapidly passing away, and we
find growing up in different parts Of
the country a party called by vari-
ous names---in California the Inde-
pendent party, in Iowa tho Anti
Monopoly party, in Wisconsin tho
Reform party, in Illinois tho
Farmers Movenent---having q COM
mon purpose and inspiration, and
exhibiting O strength which proves
that it answers one Of the chief de-
mands Of the hour. The CHICAGO
TRIBUNE will give large share
OF its attention to this NEW MAN.
HESITATION OF PUBLIC SENTI-
MENT. 1t holds:
LIST. That the old party organiza-
tions are essentially corrupt and
fraudulent. Having no longer any
principles to carry into ehoot, they
have become nero business enter
rrises, making q show Of opposition
to each other, but really sharing in
the proceeds Of prohigate and dis
honest legislation. To suppose that
any healthfu1 reform can flow from
the pretended efforts Of these worm
out and demoralizod partnerships
ls altogether vain and illusory.
I'd. That the tariff system now in
vogue is 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 *spro-
teoted" goods they would otherwise
buy.
Sd. That railroads cannot exact
more than 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, tho
State may rightfully Interfere for the
protection OF the people; thatunjust
determinations between different
localities arc in violation Of law and
should be prohibited.
4th. That subsidies or bo1nties of
money, land, or public credit, to
railway, steamship, or other corpo-
rations, are 1agra1lt abuses Of the
powers Of government, fraugl1t with
the gravest dangers to the people,
and tending to promote corruption,
oxtraVagance, speculation, and
financial disaster.
The general character Of THE
CHICAGO TRIBUNE is too well
established to need recnpitulation.
It is always independent and fear
less in the expression of its views.
In it's news department it ia second
to no paper in the United States.
The 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
rial, ind agricultural topics will
constitute, as heretofore, loading
features Of tho Weekly Edition, and
no pains will be spared to increase
its attractiveness in these depart
ments. It's market reports are I'M
surpassed, embracing all the infor
nation which farmers require fol

ness, both as sellers apG buyers.
