PROSPECTUS FOR 1874.

The coming year promises to be
the most oven tful in q political sonso
that we have seen since the close OF
tho war. Tho questions which have
ongrossod and divided tho public
mind during tho past twenty years
aro rapidly passing away, and wo
find growing up In different parts of
tho country party called by veri-
GUS nnmes---in California the Inde-
pondont party, in Iowa tho Anti
Monopoly purity, in Wisconsin the
Reform party, in Illinois tho
Farmers Movomont--~faving COM
mon purpose nnd inspiration, nnd
exhibiting strength which proves
that it answorB ono Of tho chief dc"
1nands Of tho hour. Tho CHICAGO
TRIBUNE will givo largo share
Of it's attention to this NEW NAN
IFE6TATION OF PUBLIC sENT1-
MENT. It holds:
1st. That tho old party organ1za-
tions arc essentially corrupt and
fraudulent. Having no longer any
principles to carry into offeot, they
havo become mere business onter-
prisos, making show OF opposition
to enoh other, but really sharing in
the proceeds Of proiigato and dis
honest legislation. To suppose that
any hea1thful reform Gun flow from
tho pretended efforts Of these worn
out and domora1izod partnerships
is altogether vain and illusory.
%. That the tariff system now in
voguo is q cunning dovice to rob the
many for tho benefit Of the fow, and
that it's effect is to c&ugo farm pro-
ducts to exchange for about one-haH
the quantity Of foreign or "pro~
tected" goods they would otherwise
buy.
Sd. That railroads cannot exact
moro than d fair rate Of interest on
tho capital actually invested IN thom,
! and that when, in addition to this,
| they claim dividends on weterod
| stock and fraudulent bonds, the
State may rightn1lly Interfere for the
protection OF tho people; thatunjust
Determinations botwoen different
| localities arc in violation of law md
should bo prohibited.
4th. That subsidies or bountios OF
money, land, or public crodit, to
railway, steamship, or othor corpo-
rations, are aagrant abuses Of the
powers of government, fraught with
tho gravost dangers to the people,
md tonding to promote corruption,
oxtravaganco, speculation, and
financial disaster.
The gonoral character of THE
CHICAGO TRIBUNE is too vol
established to neod recapitulation,
It is always independent and four.
less in tho expression OF Its vioWs.
IN it's nows department It Is second
to no paper in thu United States.
The Weokly Edition contains care
fully prepared summary OF the news
Of the week, brought down to the
hour Of going to pross.
Literary, political, financial, SO.
cial, and agricultural topics will
constitute, as heretofore, loading
features Of tho Weekly Edition, and
10 pains will he spared to increase
its attraotiveness in these depart
mente. Its market reports are un-
surpassed, embracing oil tho ln1or-
NATION which farmers require Tor
tho Intelligent transaction OF busi-
! ness, both as sollors md buyers.
THE WEEKLY TRIBUNE is
large cight-rago shoot, Of the samo
size as tho Daily Tribune, consisting
Of flfty-eix columns Of closely
printed matter, and, as a family
newspaper and in ita general mako
up, il unaurpassod by any popor In
tho land.
TEE TRIBUNE will be furnished
during the ensuing year at the fol-
lowing ratos, payable in edvanoe:
