tho most ovontful in a political sonse |
that wo have soon since tho close Of
tho war. Tho questions which have |
mind during the past twenty years
are rapidly passing away, and VIC
find growing up in different parts Of
tho country O party called by vari-
GUS names---in California the Inde-
pendent party, in Iowa tho Anti
Monopoly party, in Wisconsin the
Reform party, in Illinois the
Farmers Movement---having a COM
mon purpose and inspiration, and
exhibiting strength which proves
that it answers ono Of tho chief de-
mands Of tho hour. The CHICAGO
TRIBUNE will give o largo share
Of its attention to this NEW MAN.
HESITATION OF PUBLIC sENTI-
MENT. It holds:
1st. That the old party organ1za-
tions are essentially corrupt and
fraudulent. Having no longer any
principles to carry into effect, they
havo become nero business enter
prises, making q show Of opposition
tho proceeds Of profligate and dis
honest legislation TO suppose that
any hoalthful reform can How from
the pretended efforts Of these worn
out and demoralizod partnerships
is altogether vain and illusory.
I'd. That the tariff system now in
vogue Is cunning device to rob the
many for the benof1t of the few, and
that its cfoct is to cause farm pro-
ducts to exchange for about one-haf
the quantity Of foreign or "pro-
tocted' goods they would otherwise
buy.
Sd. That railroads cannot exact
more than O fair rate Of interest on
the capital actually invested in them,
| nnd that when, in addition to this,
| they claim dividends on watered
stock and fraudulent bonds, the
State may rightfu1ly interfere for tho
protection OF the people; that unjust
determinations between different
localities are in violation Of law and
should be prohibited.
! 4th. That subsidies Or bountios Of
money, land, or public credit, to
railway, steamship, or other corpo-
rations, nre Hagra1lt abuses OF tho
powers Of government, fraught with
the gravest dangers to the people,
and tending to promote corruption,
extravaganza, 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 it's views.

fully prepared summary OF the news
Of tho week, brought down to tho

monts. Its market reports are un-
surpassed, embracing all the lnfor-
