PROSPECTUS FOR 1874.

Tho coming year promises to bo
the most oventftll in political sonso
that we have soen since the close Of
tho war. The questions which have
ongrossod and divided the public
mind during the past twenty years
arc rapidly passing away, and we
find growing up in different parts of
the country party called by vari-
GUS names---in California the Inde-
pendent party, in Iowa the Anti
Monopoly party, in Wisconsin the
Reform purity, in Illinois the
Farmers Movement---having q COM
mon purpose and inspiration, and
exhibiting q 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. 1t holds:
1st. That the old party organlza-
tions are essentially corrupt and
fraudulent. Having no longer any
principles to carry into effect, they
have become mere business enter
prises, making show Of opposition
to each other, but really sharing in
the proceeds Of prohigate and dis
honest legislation. 10 suppose TINT
any healthfu1 reform Gun flow from
the pretended efforts Of these worm
out and demoralizod partnerships
is altogether vain and llllsory.
I'd. That the tariff system now in
vogue is q cunning device to rob the
many for the benefit Of the few, and
that its effect is to cause farm pro-
ducts to exchange for about one-haR
the quantity Of foreign or "pro-
tected" goods they would otherwise
buy.
Sd. That railroads cannot exact
more than fair ratio 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 rightft1lly interfere for the
protection OF the people; that unjust
determinations between different
localities nre 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 graVest 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 neod reorganization.
It is always independent and fear
less in the expression Of it's views.
In it's news department it is second
to no paper in the United statos.
The Weekly Edition contains caro-
fully prepared summary OF the news
Of the week, brought down to tho
hour Of going to press.
Literary, political, financial. So
cial, and agricultural topics will
constitute, as heretofore, loading
features Of the Weekly Edition, and
no pains will be spared to increase
it's attractiveness in those depart
ments. Its market reports are un-
surpassed, embracing I'LL the infor-
nation which farmers require for
the Intelligent transaction Of busi-
moss, both Us sollors and buyers.
THE WEEKLY TRIBUNE is q
large oight-page sheet, Of tho Same
size as the Daily Tribune, consisting
Of hfty-six columns Of closely
printed matter, and, as a family
newspaper and in its general make
up, is unsurpassed by any paper in
the land.
THE TRIBUNE will be furnished
during the ensuing year at the fol-
lowing ratos, payable in advance:
