the most eventful in political sense
that We have seen since the close Of
the war. The questions which havo
engrossed and divided the public
mind during tho past twenty years
are rapidly passing away, and We
lind growing up In different parts Of
tho country q party called BY yari-
ous names"--in California the Inxfe-t
pendent party, in Iowa the Anti
Monopoly party, in Wisconsin the
reform party, in Illinois the
Farmers Movement---having COM
mon purpose and inspiration, and
exhibiting a strength which proves
that it answers one Of the chief de-
mands Of the hour. The CHICAGO
TRIBUNE will give q largo share
Of it's attention to this NEW MAN.
IFEsTATION OF PUBLIC sENTI-
MENT. It holds:
1st, 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
prlses, making q show Of opposition
to each. other, but really sharing in
the proceeds Of prot1igate and dis
honest legislation. To suppose that
any healthfu1 reform can flow from
the pretended efforts Of these worm
out and demoralized partnerships
is altogether vain and illusory,
I'd. That the tariff system now in
vogue is cunning device to rob tho
many for the benefit Of tho few, and
that its effeot is to cause farm pros
ducts to exchange for about one-han
the quantity of foreign or "pro.
tected" goods they would otherwise
buy.
ad. That railroads cannot exact
more than fair rate of interest on
the capital actually invested in them,
end that when, in addition to this,
they claim dividends on watered
stock and fraudulent bonds, tha
State may rightfully interfere Tor the
protection OF the people; thatunjust
determinations betweon 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 oorpo~
rations. are hagrant abuses Of the
powers Of government, fraught 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 we'll
established to need recapitulation.
It is always independent and fear
less in the expression OF its views.

fully prepared summary of the newa
