PROSPECTUS FOR 1874.
Tho. coming year promises to be
tho most oventful in a political sense
that We have seen since tho close Of
the war. The questions which have
ongroHsed 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 party called by vari-
GUS names---in California the Inde-
pendent party, In Iowa the Anti
Monopoly party, in Wisconsin the
Reform party, in Illinois tho
Farmers Movement---having 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. 1T holds:
1st. That the old party organ1za-
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
tho proceeds Of prohigate and dis
honest legislation. To suppose that
any 1ea1thful reform can flow from
the pretended efforts Of these worm
out and demoralized partnerships
is altogether vain nnd illusory.
I'd. That the tariff system now in
vogue is g cunning device to rob the
many Tor the benefit Of the few, and
that its effect is to cause farm pro-
ducts to exchange for about one-half
the quantity Of foreign or "pro~
tectod'' goods they would otherwise
buy.
3d. That railroads cannot exact
moro than fair rate Of interest on
the capital actually invested in them,
and that whom, in addition to this,
they claim dividends on watered
stock and fraudulent bonds, the
State may rightfully Interfere for tho
protection ofthe 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 flagrant abuses Of tho
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 need reoapitulation.
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
oia1, and agricultural topics will
constitute, as heretofore, leading
features Of the Weekly Edition, and
no pains will be spared to increase
it's attractivenoss in those depart
monts. It's market reports are un-
surpassed, embracing all tho infor-
nation which farmers require for
the intelligent transaction Of busi-
moss, both as sellers and buyers.
THE WEEKLY TRIBUNE is a
large eight-page sheet, Of the same
size as the Daily, Tribune, consisting
Of tlfty-six columns Of closely
printed matter, and, as o family
newspaper and in it's general make
up, is unsurpassed by any paper in
the land.
TIE TRIBUNE will be furnished
during the ensuing year at the fol-
lowing rates, payable in advance:
