PROSPECTUS FOR 1874.
The coming year promises to be
the most eventfu1 In a political sense
that we have seen since the close Of
the war. The questions which have
engrossed and divided the public
mind during tho past twenty years
are rapidly passing away, and we
find growing up in different parts of
the country party called by vari-
ous names-.-in California the Indo-
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 a large share
Of its attention to this NEW MAN.
HESITATION OF PUBLIC sENTI-
MENT. It holds:
list. That the old party organiza-
t1ons nre essentially corrupt and
fraudulent. RaViug no longer any
principles to carry into effect, they
have become mere business enter
prises, making a show Of opposition
to each other, but really sharing in
the proceeds Of profigate and dis
honest legislation. To suppose that
any healthfm reform can flow from
the pretended efforts Of these worn
out and demoralized partnerships
is altogether vain and ilusory.
I'd. That the tariff system now in
vogue is O cunning device to rob tho
many for the benetit of the few, and
that it's effect is to cause farm pro-
ducts to exchange for about one-haF
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, the
State may rightfu1ly Interfere for tho
protection OF the people; that unjust
determinations between different
localities ore in violation Of law and
should be prohibited.
4th. That subsidies or bouuties Of
money, land, or public credit, to
railway, steamship, or other oorpo-
rations, are aagrant abuses of tho
powers Of government, fraught with
tho gravost dangers to the people,
and tending to promote corruption,
extravaganza, speculation, and
f1pl-oinl disastor.
Tho general character of THE
CHICAGO TRIBUNE is too we'll
established to need recnpitulation.
It is always independent and fear
less in tho expression Of it's views.
In ite news department it is second
to no paper in the United States.
The Weekly Edition contains a care
fully prepared summary of the news
Of the week, brought down to the
hour Of going to press.
Literary, political, financial, 60
oia1, and agricultural topics will
constitute, as heretofore, leading
features Of the Weekly Edition, and
no pains will be spared to increase
Its attraotiVeness in those depart
ments. It's market reports are I'M
surpassed, embracing all the infor-
nation which farmers require for
the Intelligent transaction Of busi-
oesB, both as sellers and buyers.
THE WEEKLY TRIBUNE is
large oight-pago sheet, Of the same
size as the Daily Tribune, consisting
of tfty-six columns Of closely
printed matter, and, as a family
newspaper and in its general make
up, is unsurpassed by any paper in
tho land.
THE TRIBUNE will be furnished
during the ensuing year at the fol-
lowing rates, payable in advance:
