Tho coming year promises to be
tho most ovontful in q political sense
that we have seen since tho close Of
tho war. The questions which hnve
ongrossed and divided the public
mind during the past twenty years
are rapidly passing away, and we
find growing up in different parts Of
the country party called by vari-
pendent party, in Iowa tho Anti
Monopoly party, in Wisconsin the
Reform party, in Illinois tho
Farmers MoVomont---having q CON-
mon purpose and inspiration, and
exhibiting q strength which proves
that it answers one Of the chief de-
mands of the hour. Tho CHICAGO
TRIBUNE will give largo share
of its attention to this NEW MAN.
IFEsTATIoN~ 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
have become mere business enter
prises, making show Of opposition
to each other, but really sharing in
the proceeds Of pronigate and dis
honest legislation. To suppose that
any healthful reform can flow from
the pretended efforts Of these worm
out and domora1izod partnerships
is altogether vain and illusory.
I'd. That the tariff system now in
vogue is O cunning device to rob the
many for the benefit of tho few, and
that its efoct is to cause farm pro-
ducts to exchange for about ono-half
tho quantity of foreign or 'pro-
footed" goods they would otherwise
buy.
Sd. That railroads cannot exact
more than fair rate of interest on
the capital az ctually invested in them,
.and that when, in addition to this,
they claim dividends On watered
] stock and fraudulent bonds, the
State may rightfully interfere for the
protection Of the people; that unjust
determinations 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, steamship, or other corpo-
rations, are flagrant abuses Of the
powors Of government, traught 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 reoapitulation.
It is always independent and foar-
less in the expression of its viows.
In it's news department it is second
to no paper in the United States.
Tho Weekly Edition contains care
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, loading
featuros Of the Weekly Edition, and
no pains will be spared to increase
its attractiveness in these depart
ments. Its market reports are un-
surpassed, embracing al1 tho infor-
mutton which farmers require for
tho Intelligent transaction of buai-
ness, both as sollors and buyers.
THE WEEKLY TRIBUNE is q
largo oight-pago sheet, Of the same
size rs the Daily Tribune, consisting
of titty-six columns OF closely
printed matter, and, as family
newspaper and in itR general make
up, is unsurpassed by any paper in
tho land.
TILE TRIBUNE will be furnished
during the ensuing year nt tho fol-
lowing rates, payable in advanoo:
