Tho coming year promises to be
the most oventfu1 in q political sonse
that wo have Heon since the close Of
tho war. The questions which have
engrossed and divided tho public
mind during the past twonty years
are rapidly passing away, and we
find growing up in different parts Of
tho country party called by vari-
GUS namos---in California the Inde-
pendent party, in Iowa the Anti
Monopoly party, in Wisconsin the
Reform party, in Illinois the
Farmers Movemont---having COM
mon purpose and inspiration, and
exhibiting & strength which proves
that it answers one Of the chiof de-
nands Of tho hour. The CHICAGO
TRIBUNE will give d largo share
Of its attention to this NEW MAN.
HESITATION OF PUBLIC sENTI-
MENT. It holds:
1st. That the old party organlza-
t1ons are essentially corrupt and
fraudulent. Having no longer any
principles to carry into effect, they
havo become moro business onter-
prises, 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 can flow from
the pretended efforts Of these worn
out and domoralized partnerships
is altogether vain and il1usory.
3D., That tho tariff system now in
vogue is cunning dovico to rob tho
many Tor tho benefit Of tho few, and
that it's effect is to cause farm pro-
ducts to exchange for about one.half
the quantity Of foreign or "pro-
toctod" goods they would otherwise
buy.
Sd. That railroads cannot exact
more than o fair rate of interest on
the capita1 actually invested in them,
and that when, in addition to this,
they claim dividends on watered
stock and fraudulent bonds, the
State may rightfully intorfere for the
protection OF the people that unjust
Determinations botween different
localities are in violation Of law and
should bo prohibited.
4th. That subsidies or bounties Of
money, land, or public crodit, to
railway, steamship, or othor corpo-
rations. arc hagrant abuses Of the
powers Of government, fraught with
the gravost dangers to the people,
and tending to promote corruption,
extravaganza, speculation, aud
financial disaster.
Tho general character Of TIE
CHICAGO TRIBUNE is too well
established to need recapitulation.
1t is always independent and fear
less in tho expression Of its views.
Tn it's news department it is second
to no paper in tho United States.
The Wcel1ly Edition contains care
fully prepared summary Of the news
Of the week, brought down to the
hour Of going to pross.
Literary, political, financial, So
cial, and agricultural topics will
constitute, as heretofore, leading
features of tho Weekly Edition, and
no pains will bo spared to increase
it's attractivenoss in these depart
monts. Its market reports arc rln-
surpassed, embracing all tho infor-
nation which farn1ors require Tor
tho Intelligent transaction Of busi-
moss, both as sellers and buyers.

sizo as the DAILY Tribune, consisting
