PROSPECTUS FOR 1874.
The coming year promises to ba
the most eventtul in political senso
that we have soon since the close of
tho war. Tho questions which have
engrossed end divided the public
mind during tho past twenty years
are rapidly passing away, and wo
find growing up in different parts of
the country o party called by vari-
GUS names---in California the Indo.
pendent party, in Iowa the Anti
Monopoly party, in Wisconsin the
Reform party, in Illinois the
Farmers Movem ent---having q COM
mon purpose and inspiration, and
exhibiting strength which proves
that it answers one OF the chief do.
mands of the hour. Tho CHICAGO
TRIBUNE will give large share
Of its at.ontion to this NEW MAN
HESITATION CT PUBLIC SENTI-
MENT. It holds:
1st. That tho old party organ1za-
tions are essentially corrupt and
fraudulent. Having no longer any
principles to carry into effect, they
have become mere businegs entor-
prises, making show of opposition
to each other, but really sharing in
the proceeds Of prof1igato and dis.
honest legislation. TO suppose that
any healthful reform can flow from
the pretended efforts Of these worm
out and demoralized partnerships
is altogether vain and 1llusory.
Cd. That the tariff system now in
vogue is @ cunning device to rob the
many for the benefit of the few, and
that it's effect is to cause farm pro-
ducts to exchange for about one-hab
the quantity of foreign Or *fpro.
tocted" goods they would otherwise
buy.
| Sd. That railroads cannot exact
moro than fair rate Of interest on
the capital actually invested in them,
and that when, in addition to this,
they claim dividends on watered
stock and fraudulent bonds, the
State mny rightfully interfere for the
protection OF the people; that tunjust
determinations botweon different
localities are in violation Of law and
should be prohibited.
4th. That subsidies or bounties o1
money, land, or public credit, to
railway, steamship, or othor corpo'
rations, are flagrant abuses Of the
! powers Of government, fraught with
the gravogt dangers to the people,
and tending to promote corruption,
! extravagance, speculation, and
| financial disaster.
| The general character of THE
! CHICAGO TRIBUNE is too well
/ established to need recapitnlation.
1t is always independent ind foar-
less in the expression Of its views.
In its news department it is second
| to no paper in the United States.
