PROSPECTUS FOR 1874.
Tho coming yoar promises to be
tho most cvontful in q political sense
that we hago soon since tho close Of
tho war. The questions which havo
ongrossod and divided tho public
mind during tho past twonty yoars
are rapidly passing away, and we
find growing up in different parts Of
tho country party called by veri-
GUS nnmes---in California the Inde-
pendent party, in Iowa tho Anti
Monopoly party, in Wisconsin the
Reform party, in Illinois the
Farmers Novemont---having COM
mon purpose and inspiration, and
exhibiting strength which proves
that it answers one Of the chief de-
mands Of tho hour. The CHICAGO
TRIBUNE will give large share
Of its attention to this NEW NAM
HESITATION OF PUBLIC SENTI-
K1ENT. It holdo:
1st. That tho old party orgnn1za-
tions nro essentially corrupt and
fraudulent. Having no 1ongor any
principles to carry into effect, they
have become more business ontor-
prises, making d show Of opposition
to each othor, but really sharing in
the proceeds Of prohigato and dis
honest legislation. To suppose that
any healthful reform can flow from
tho pretended efforts Of those worm
out and demora1izod partnerships
is altogether vain and 1lueory.
Cd. That tho tariff system now in
vogue is cunning device to rob tho
many for the benotlt Of tho fow, and
that its cnoot is to ceuse farm pro-
eucts to exchange for about one-half
tho quantity Of foreign or "pro-
footed" goods they would otherwise
buy.
Sd. That railroads cannot exact
moro thnn a fair ratio Of interest on
tho capital actually invested in tho1n,
aud that WHOM, in addition to this,
they claim dividends on watorod
stock and fraudulent bonds, the
State may rightfnlly intorfore for tho
protection OF tho people; that unjust
Determinations botwoen difIccont
locnlitios arc in violation Of law and
should bo prohibited.
4th. That subsidies or bou1tios Of
money, land, OF public crodit, to
Nrf OF 1Sfr
rations, ero dagrant abuses Of tho
powers Of government, traught with
tho gravest dangers to tho pooplo,
nnd tonding to promote corruption,
extravaganza, speculation, and
financial disaster.
Tho general character of TIE
CHICAGO TRIBUNE is too we'll
established to mood rocapitulation.
It is always independent and foar-
less in tho expression Of it's viows.
In its nows department it is second
to no paper in the Unitod States.
Tho w eelzly Edition contains care
fully prepared summary Of tho news
Of the Wcoz, brought down to tho
hour Of going to pross.
Literary, political, financial, So
oial, and agricultural topics will
constituto, as heretofore, loading
features Of tho Weekly Edition, and
no pains will bo spared to increase
it's attractivoneEs in those depart
ments. Its market reports are un-
surpassed, embracing all tho infor-
nation which far1nors require Tor
the Intelligent transaction Of busi-
ness, both as sellors md buyers.
TILE WEEKLY TRIBUNE is a
large oight-rage shoot, OF the samo
size as tho Daily Tribune, consisting
Of 1fty.six columns Of closely
printed mattor, and, as o family
newspaper and in its gonoral mako
up, is unsurpassed by any paper in
the land.
THE TRIBUNE will be furnished
during tho ensuing Year at the fol-
lowing ratos, payable in advance:
WEEKLY TRIBUNE.
