PROFESSIONAL MAN, |
AND THE fIRESIDE.
PROSPECTUS FOR 1874.
The coming year promises to be
the most ovontful in a political sense
that we have seen since the close of
the war. Tho questions which have
engrossed and divided the public
mind during tho past twenty years
are rapidly passing away, and we
find growing up in different pnrts OF
the country party called by varl-;
GUS names---in California the Indo-
pendent party, in Iowa the Anti
Monopoly party, in Wisconsin the
Reform party, in Illinois the
Farmers Movoment---having COM
mon purpose and inspiration, and
exhibiting g 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:
LIST. That the old party organiza-
tions are essentially corrupt and
fraudulent. Having no longer any
principles to carry into effecta they
have become mere business enter
prises, making show Of opposition
to each other, but renlly sharing in
the proceeds Of protligate and dis
honest legislation. To suppose that
any hen1thful reform can flow from
the pretended efforts Of these worm
out and demoralized partnerships
Is altogether vain and illusory.
I'd. 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-ha1f
the quantity Of foreign or "pro-
teoted" goods they would otherwise
buy.
Sd. That railroads cannot exact
more than q 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 rightfully Interfere for the
protection Of the people that unjust
determinations between different
localities are in violation Of law and
should be prohibited.
9Th. 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 gravest dangers to the people,
and tending to promote corruption,
extravaganza, speculation, and
financial disaster.
The general character Of TEE
CHICAGO TRIBUNE is too well
established to need recapitu1ation
1t is always independent and fear
less in the expression Of its views
In its news department it is SECOND

ments. Its market reports are un

nation which farmers require TO

ness, both as sellers and buyers.
