PROSPECTUS FOR 1874.
The coming year promises to be
the most oventfu1 in O. political sense
that we have seen since the close OF
the war. Tho 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 1ndo-
pendent party, in Iowa the Anti
Monopoly party, in Wisconsin the
Reform party, in Illinois the
Farmers Movement---having COM
mon purpose and inspiration, and
exhibiting strength which proves
that it answers one Of the Chi If 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 effect, they
have become mere business enter
prises, making show Of opposition
to each other, but really sharing in
the proceeds Of profligate and dis
honest legislation. To suppose that
any healthful reform can flow from
the pretended efforts of these worn
out and demoralized partnerships
is altogether vain and il1usory.
I'd. That tho tariff system now in
vogue is cunning device to rob the
many for the benefit Of tho few, and
that its effect is to cause farm pro-
ducts to exchange for about one-half
the quantity Of foreign Or ttpro-
tected" goods they would otherwise
buy.
Sd. That railroads cannot exact
more than 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, tho
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.
4th. That subsidies or bounties Of
money, land, or public credit, to
railway, steamship, or other oorpo~
cations, are. ffagrant abuses Of the
powers Of government, faught 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 we'll
established to need recapitulation.
1t 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 @ caro-
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 tho Weekly Edition, and
no pains will be spared to increase
it's attraotiveness in these depart
ments. It's market reports are un-
surpassed, embracing all tho infor-
nation which farmers require for
the Intelligent transaction Of buai-
ness, both as sellers and buyers.
THE WEEKLY TRIBUNE is q
large eight-page sheet, Of the samo
size as the Daily Tribune, consisting
Of flfty-six columns OF closely
printed matter, and, as a family
newspaper and in it's general Make
up, is unsurpassed by any paper in
the land.
THE TRIBUNE will be furnished
during the ensuing year at the fol-
lowing rates, payable in advance:
