The coming year promises to bs
the most eventful in q political sense
that we have seen since the close OF
tho war. The questions which have
engroBsod and divided tho 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 1nde-
pendent party, in Iowa the Anti
Monopoly party, in Wisconsin the
Reform party, in Illinois the
Farmers Movement---having a COM
mon purpose and inspiration, and
exhibiting a strength which proves
that it answers one Of the chief de-
mnnds Of the hour. The CHICAGO
TRIBUNE will give large share
Of it's attention to this NEW MAN.
HESITATION OF PUBLIC sENT1-
MENT. 1t holds:
lat. That the old party organaza
tionB are essentially corrupt and
fraudulent. Having no longer any
principles to carry into ohaot, they
have become mere business onter-
prises, making show Of opposition
to each other, but really sharing in
the proceeds Of prohigate and dis
honest legislation. TO suppose that
any healthfu1 reform can flow from
the pretended efforts Of these worm
out and demoraized partnerships
is altogether vain and illusory.
I'd. That the tariff system now in
vogue is cunning device to rob the
many for the benefit Of the few, and
that its effect is to cause farm pro-
ducts to exchange for about one"haH
the quantity Of foreign or "pro-
teoted" 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 rightful1y interfere for the
protection OF the people; that unjust
| discrimiuationg between different
localities aresin violation Of law and
| should be prohibited.

and tending to promote corruption.
