PROSPECTUS FOR 1874.
Tho coming year promises to bo
tho most oventful in political sense
that we have soen since the close Of
tho war. The questions which have
engrossed and divided the public
mind during the past twenty years
are rapidly passing away, and we
find growing up in different parts Of
tho country q party called by vari-
GUS nnmes---in California tho Inde-
pendent party, in. Iowa the Anti
Monopoly party, in Wisconsin the
Reform party, in Illinois the
Farmors' Movomont---having COM
mon purpose and inspiration, and
exhibiting a strength which proves
that it answers one Of the chief de-
mands Of the hour. Tho CHICAGO
TRIBUNE will give O. large share
Of it's attention to this NEW MAN.
HESITATION OF PUBLIC SENTI-
MENT. It holds:
1st. That tho old party organlza-
tions are essentially corrupt and
fraudulent. Having no longer any
principles to carry into effect, they
have become moro business enter
prises, making 8 show Of opposition
to each other, but really sharing in
the proceeds Of profligate and dis
honest legislation. To suppose that
any len1thful reform can flow from
tho pretended efforts Of those worn
out and demoralizod partnerships
is altogether vain and il1usory.
Cd. That the tariff systom now in
vogue is q cunning device to rob the
many for tho benefit Of the few, and
that it's effect is to cause farm pro-
ducts to exchange for about one-half
the quantity Of foreign or s'pro-
teoted" goods they would otherwise
buy.
Sd. That railroads. cannot exact
more than fair rate Of interest on
the capital actually invested in them,
and that when, in addition to this,
they claim dividends on watorod
| stock and fraudulent bonds, the
State may rightful1y Interfere for the
protection OF tho people; that unjust
! disorimir atoms between different
localities are in violation Of law and
should be prohibited.
4th. That subsidies or bounties Of
money, land, or public credit, to
railway, steanlBhip, or other corpo-
! rations. } hagrant abuses Of the
powers - government, traught with
! the gravost dangers to the people,
and tending to promote corruption,
extravagance, speculation, and
financial disaster.
Tho general character Of TIE;
CHICAGO TRIBUNE is too we'll
! established to need recapitl1lation.
; II is always independent and fear
less in the expression Of its views.
! In its news department. it is second
/ to no paper in tho United Staten.
! The Weekly Edition contains caro-
! fully prepared summary OF the news
Of the week, brought down to the
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 increase
its Rttractivoness in those depart
nents. It's market reports are un~
surpassed, embracing oil tho lnfor-
nation which farmers require for
tho Intelligent transaction of busi-
ness, both Us sellers and buyers.
TEE WEEKLY TRIBUNE Is q
largo eight-pago sheet, of the same
size as tho Daily Tribune, consisting
OF tifty-six columns Of closely
printed matter, and, as family
newspaper and in ita general make-
up, is unsurpassed by any paper in
tho land.

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