PROSPECTUS FOR 1874.
The coming year promises to be
the most evontful in a political sense
;hat we havo seen since the close Of
the war. Tho questions which have
pngrossod and divided tho public
mind during tho past twenty years
ere rapidly passing away, and wo
find growing up in different perts Of
the country q party called by veri-
GUS names---in California the Indo-
pendent party, in Iowa the Anti
Monopoly party, in Wisconsin tho
Reform party, in Illinois tho
Farmers' Movement---having COM
tuon purpose and inspiration, and
exhibiting a strength which proves
TINT it answers one Of tho chief de-
inands 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:
Let. That the old party organiza-
tions are essentially corrupt and
fraudulent. Having no longer any
principles to carry into effect, they
1lavo become mere business enter
lorises, making show of opposition
to each other, but really sharing in
the proceeds Of prohigate and dis
honest legislation. To suppose that
any healthful reform Gun flow from
the pretended efforts Of these worm
out and demora1ized partnerships
is altogether vain and illusory.
I'd. That the tariff system now in
vogue is a cunning device to rob tho
many for the benefit of tho few, and
that its c1oot is to cause farm pro-
ducts to exchange for about one-half
the quantity Of foreign or t'pro-
teoted" goods they would otherwise
buy.
Sd. That railroads cannot exact
more than fair ratio Of interest on
the capital actually invested in them,
and TINT whom, in addition to this,
they claim dividends on waterod
stock and fraudulent bonds, the
State may rightfully Interfere Tor the
protection OF the people; thatunjust
localities are in violation Of law and
should be prohibited.
4th. Thet subsidiea or bounties Of
money, land, or public credit, to
railway, steamship, Or other corpo-
rations, are 1agraut abuses Of the
powers Of government, fraught with
the gravest dangers to the people,
and tonding to promote corruption,
extravaganza, speculation, and
financial disaster.
Tho general character of TIE
CHICAGO TRIBUNE is too we'll
established to need recapitulation.
1t is elways independent and foar-
less in the expression Of it's views.
III its noWs department it is second
20 no paper in this United States.
Tho W1eolzly Edition contains caro-
fully prepared summary OF the news
OF tho wcelz, brought down to tho
hour of going to press.
Literary, political, financial, So
cial, and agricultural topics will
constitute, as heretofore, leading
features of the Weekly Edition, and
no pains will be spared to incroaeo
its attractiveness in these depart
ments. Its market reports ara u1-
surpassed, embracing all tho infor-
n1ntion which farmors require for
the Intelligent transaction OF busi-
moss, both as sellers and buyera.
