The coming year promises to bo
Tho most eventful in political sense
Tint we have seen since tho close Of
the war. Tile questions which have
sngrossod and divided tho public
mind during tho past twenty years
are rapidly passing away, and we
Ind growing up in different parts Of
The country q party ca1led by vari-
ous names---in California tho 'Inde-
pendent party, in Iowa tho Anti
Monopoly party, in Wisconsin tho
Reform party, in Illinois the
Farmers MoVom ont---having COM
mon purpose nnd inspiration, and
exhibiting strength which proves
that it answers ono Of the chief de-
mands Of the hour. The CHICAGO
TRIBUNE will give q large share
Of it's attention to this NEW MAN.
HESITATION OF PUBLIC sENTI~
MENT. It holds:
1st. That the old party organiza-
tions arc essentially corrupt and
fraudulent. Having no longer any
principles to carry into effect, they
prises, making q show Of opposition
to each other, but really sharing in
The proceeds of prodigate and dis
honest legislation. To suppose that
any healthful reform can flow from
the pretended efforts Of these worm
out and domoralized partnerships
is altogether vain and illusory.
= III, ID r., 1rc+e%@, v,~rs1 y,
vogue is q cunning dovice to rob the
many for the benefit Of the fow, and
that its effect is to cause farm pro-
ducts to exchange for about one-1lalf
the quantity Of foreign or "pro-
teoted" goods they would otherwise
buy.
Sd. That railroads cannot exact
more than fair rate Of interest on
he capital actually invested in them,
md that when, in addition to this,
they claim dividends on watered
stock and fraudulent bonds, the
state may rightfully Interfere for the
protection OF the people that unjust
determinations between different
localities are in violation of law and
,hould be prohibited.
4th. That subsidies or bounties Of
money, land, or public credit, to
railway, steamship, or other corpo-
sations, are fragrant abuses Of the
powers Of government, fraught with
the gravest dangers to the people,
and tending to promote corruption,
extravagance, speculation, and
financial disaster.
The general character Of THE
CHICAGO TRIBUNE is too well
established to need reorganization.
It is always independent and fear'
less in the expression of its views
In its news department it is second
10 no paper in the United States
The Weekly Edition contains g care
fully prepared summary Of the news
Of the woe1z, brought down to the
hour Of going to press.
Literary. POLITICAL. financial, So
oia1, and agricultural topics vii
constitute, as heretofore, lending
features Of tho Wookly Edition, ane
no pains will be spared to increase
Its attract ctivoness in these depart
ments. Its market reports are I'M
surpassed, embracing all the infor
maticn which farmers require fol
the Intelligent transaction OF busi
ness, both as sellers and buyers.
THE WEEKLY TRIBUNE is ,
large eight-page sheet, Of the SAM
size as the Daily Tribune, consisting
of hfty-six columns Of closely
printed mattor, and, as family
newspaper and in it's general make
up, is unsurpassed by any paper il
the land.
THE TRIBUNE will be furnished
during tho ensuing year at the fol
lowing rates, payable in advance:
