PROSPECTUS FOR 1874.
The coming year promises to be
tne most eVentfu1 in political aenaB
that we have seen since the close Of
the war. The questions whio:- have
engrosaed and divided tho public
mind during the past twenty years
are rapidly passing away, and we
find growing up In different parts Of
the country a party called by vari-
GUS nameB-.-in California the Inde-
pendent party, in Iowa the Anti
Monopoly party, in Wisconsin the
Reform party, in Illinois the
Farmers Movement---havinE COM
mon purpose. and inspiration, and
exhibiting strength which proves
that it answers one Of the chief de-
mands Of the hour, The CHICAGO
TRIBUNE will give large share
of it's attention to this NEW MAN.
HESITATION OF PUBLIC sENTI-
MENT. It holds:
1st. That the old party organiza-
tions are essentially corrupt and
fraudulent. Having no longer any
principles to carry into effect; they
have become mere business enter
prfaes, making show Of opposition
to each other, but really sharing in
tho proceeds Of prohigate aud dis
honest legislation. 10 suppose that
any healthft1l reform can flow from
the pretended efforts Of these worm
out and demoraH2ed partnerships
is altogether vain and tlluBory..
I'd. That the tariff system now in
vogue is O 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-half
the quantity Of foreign or "pro-
tected" goods they would otherwise
buy.
Sd. That railroads cannot exact
more than a 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 may rightfnl1y 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 hagrant abuses of the
powers of government, fraught with
the graveBt dangers to the people.
and tending to promote corruption,
extravaganza, speculation, and
financial disaster.
The general character Of THE
CHICAGO TRIBUNE is too well
established to need reorganization.
It is always independent and fear
less In the expression of its Views.
In its news department it is second
to no paper In the United States,
The 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
clal, and agricultural topics will
constitute, as heretofore, leading
features Of the Weekly Edition, and
no pains will be spared to increase
its attractiveness in thoso depart
ments. Its market reports are un-
surpassed, embracing all the infor-
nation which farmers require for
the intelligent transaction of busi-
ness, both as sellers and buyers.
THE WEEKLY TRIBUNE is q
large e{ght-page sheet, Of the same
slze o. tho Daily Tribune, consisting
OF 1fty.six columns Of closely
trinted matter, and, as a family
newspaper and in it's general make
up, is unsurpassed by any paper in
tho land.
THE TRIBUNE will be furnished
during the ensuing year ut the fol-
lowing rates, payable in advance:
