PROSPECTUS FOR 1874.

PROSPECTUS FOR 1874.
:..,* '----- ...%:..
Tho coming year promises to DO
the most oventful in q political sense
that we have seen since the close Of
the war. The questions which have
engrossed 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-
GUS names---in California the Indo- |
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 tho chief do
mands of the hour. Tho CHICAGO
TRIBUNE will give q large share
of it's attention to this NEW MAN.
HESITATION OF PUBLIC sENTI-
MENT. It holds:
lst. That the old party organ12a-
tions are essentially corrupt and
fraudulent. Having no longer any
principles to carry into effect, thoy
have become moro business enter
prises, making show Of opposition
to each other, but really sharing in
tho proceeds Of profligate and dis
honest legislation: To suppose that
any hcalthful reform can flow from
the pretended efforts Of these worn
out and denoralizod partnerships
is altogether vain and illusory.
I'd. That the tariff systom now in
vogue is cunning device to rob the
many for tho benefit Of the fow, and
TINT it's effoot is to ce11so farm pro-
ducts to exchange for about one-haf
tho quantity Of foreign or "pro-:
/ tected'' goods they would otherwise
buy.
Sd. That railroads cannot exact
moro than fair rate !of interost on
tho capital o. aotually invested in them,
| ind that when, in addition to this,
| they claim dividends on wnterod
stock and fraudulent bonds, the
State may rightfully Interfere for tho
prote otion OF the people; that unjust
determinations betwoon different
localitics 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-
rationg, are hagralt abuses of the
| powers Of government, faught with
| tho gravest dangers to the people,
| aud tending to promote corruption,
extravaganza, speculation, and
financial disaster.
The general character Of THE
| CHICAGO TRIBUNE is too well
| established to need reoapitulation.
It is always independent and fear
less in the expression Of its views.
In it's 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
| cia1, and agricultural topics will
/ constitute, as heretofore, leading
features Of the Weekly Edition, and
no pains will be spared to increase
its attractiveness in these depart
ments. It's market reports are un-
surpassed, embracing all the iIlfor-
nation which farmers require for
the Intelligent transaction Of busi-
| ness, both as sellers and buyers.
| THE WEEKLY TRIBUNE is a
large oight-page sheet, Of the same
size as the Daily Tribune, consisting
Of 'flfty-six columns Of closely
printed matter, and, as q family
newspaper and in its general make
up, Ia unsurpassed by any paper in
the land.
THE TRIBUNE will be furnished
during the ensuing year ct the fol
lowing rates, payable in advance:
