Tho coming yoar promises to bo
tho most ovontful in q political sense
that we have soon since tho close OF
tho wnr. The questions which hnvo
ongrossod and divided the public
mind during the past twonty yoars
Gre rapidly passing away, and Wo
find growing up in different parts OF
tho country party called by varl-
GUS names---in California the 1ndo- |
pendent party, in lowe the Anti
Monopoly party, in Wisconsin the
Reform party, in illinois tho
Farmers Movemont--~having COM
mon purpose and inspiration, and
exhibiting strength which proves
| that it answers one Of the chief do
mands Of tho hour. The CHICAGO
TRIBUNE will givo large share
Of it's attention to this NEW MAN
HESITATION OF PUBLIC sENTI-
MENT. Tt holds:
1st. That tho old party organza-
tions are essentially corrupt and
fraudulent. Eaving no longer any
principles to carry into offoct, they
havo become nero businogs enter
prises, making show Of opposition
to each othor, but really sharing in
the proceeds Of profligate and dis
honest legislation. To suppose that
auy healthful reform can flow from
the pretended efforts Of these worn"
out and demoralized partnerships
is altogether vain nnd illusory.
Cd. That the tariff system now in
vogue is q cunning device to rob tho
many Tor the benefit Of the few, and
that it's effect is to cause farm pro-
ducts to exchange for about one~hnlf
the quantity Of foreign or "pro-
tocted" goods they would otherwise
: buy.
;; Sd, That railroads cannot exact
moro than fair ratio OF interest on
the capital actually invested in thon,
and that when, in addition to this,
!, they claim dividends on Wateree
i stock and fraudulent bonds, the
State may rightfu1ly Interfere for the
protection OF the people; that unjus1
determinations between different
localities nre in violation OF law and
should De pfOnlD1tou.
4th, That subsidies or bounties o1
money, land, or public crcdit, te
railway, steamship, OF other corpo
rntions, are Aagrant abuses OF the
|, powers Of government, traught will
r. the gravost dangers to tho poop1o
RS and tending to promote corruption
: ez1travagance, speculation, ant
financial f}isaster
