PROSPECTUS FOR 1874.


The coming year promises to be
the most eventful in q political sense
that wo have soen since the oloao Of
the war. The questions which havo
ongrossod and divided tho public
mind during the past twenty years
are rapidly passing away, and VIC
find growing up in difroront parts Of
the country party called by vari-
Gus namos---in California tho Inde-
pendent party, in lows the Anti
Monopoly party, in Wisconsin the
Reform party, In Illinois the
Farmers MISUNDERSTANDING oon1-
mon purpose and inspiration, and
exhibiting q strength which proves
that it answers ono Of the chief de-
mnnds Of the hour. The CHICAGO
TRIBUNE will give q large share
Of its attention to this NEW MAN
HESITATION OF PUBLIC SENTI-
MENT. 1t holds:
lst. That the old party orgnniZa-
tions are essentially corrupt and
fraudulent. Having no longer any
principles to carry into eHcct, thoy
have become mere business onter-
prisos, making q show Of opposition
to each other, but really sharing in
the proceeds OF prohigate and dis
honest legislation. 10 suppose that
any hcalthftl 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 cunning device to rob the
many for tho benefit Of tho few, and
that its effect is to cause farm pro-
ducts to exchange for about one-half
the quantity OF foreign or "pro-
tectcd" goods they would otherwise
buy.
3D.. That railroads cannot exact
more than fair rate Of interest on
the capital actually invested in them,
and that when, in addition to this,
thoy claim dividends on watored
stock and fraudulent bonds, the
State may rightfully Interfere for tho
protection Of the people; that unjust
determinations botwoen 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-
rations, are hagrant abuses Of tho
powers Of government, fraught with
tho gravost 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 mood recapitulation.
1t is always independent and fear-
less in tho 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 the news
Of the woek, brought down to the
hour Of going to press.
Literary, political, financial, So
cinl, and agricultural topics will
constitute, as heretofore, lending
features Of tho Weekly Edition, and
no pains will be spared to increase
its attractiveness in these depart
monts. Its market reports are un-
surpassed, embracing oil the infor-
nation which farmers require for
the Intelligent transaction of busi-
moss, both as sollors and buyers.
TuE WEEKLY TRIBUNE is q
largo oight-pago sheet, Of the same
size as the Daily Tribune, consisting
Of tlfty-six columns Of closely
printed matter, and, as family
newspaper and in its general make
up, is unsurpassed by any paper in
the land.

during tho ensuing year at the fol-
lowing rates, payable in advance:
