PROSPECTUS FOR 1874.

The coming year promises to be
the most eventful in q political sense
that we have seen since the close Of
tho war. The questions which have
engrossed and divided the public
mind during the past twenty years
arc rapidly passing away, and we
find growing up in different parts of
the country party called by vari-
GUS names---in California tho Inde-
pendent party, In Iowa the Anti
Monopoly party, In Wisconsin tho
Reform party, in Illinois the
Farmers Movement-~-having COM
mon purpose and inspiration, and
exhibiting q 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:
lst. That the old party orga n1za
tions are essentially corrupt and
fraudulent. Having no longer any
principles to carry into effect, they
have become mere business enter
prises, making show of opposition
to each other, but really sharing in
the proceeds Of prohigate and dis
honest legislation. To suppose that
any healthful reform can flow from
the pretended efforts Of these worn
out and demora1ized partnerships
is altogether vain and illusory.
I'd. That the tariff system now in
vogue is O cunning device to rob the
many for tho benefit Of tho few, and
that it's effect is to cause farm pro-
ducts to exchange for about one-half
the quantity Of foreign or sspro-
tected" goods they would otherwise
buy.
3D.. 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 rightfi1lly Interfere for the
protection Of the people; that unjust
Determinations between different
localities are in violation of law and
should be prohibited.
4th. That subsidies or bounties
money, land, or public credit, to
railway, steamship, or other corpo-
rations, are hagrant abuses Of tho
powers Of government, fraught with
the graVest dangers to the people,
and tending to promote corruption,
extravaganza, speculation, and
financial disaster.
The general character Of THE
CHICAGO TRIBUNE is too we'll
established to need reorganization.
It is always independent and foar-
loss in the expression of its views.
In its news department it is second
to no paper in the United States.
The Weekly Edition contains care
fully prepared summary Of the news
Of the woek, brought down to the
hour Of going to press.
Literary, political, financial. So
cial, and agricultural topics will
constitute, as heretofore, loading
features Of the Weekly Edition, and
no pains will be spared to incrense
its aotiVeness in these depart
ments. Its market reports are un-
surpassed, embracing all the infor-
nation which farmers require for
the Intelligent transaction of busi-
moss, both as sellers and buyers.
THE WEEKLY TRIBUNE is O
large eight-page sheet, of the same
size as the Daily Tribune, consisting
Of tifty-six columns Of closely
printed matter, and, as family
and in it's general make
up, is unsurpassed by any paper in
the land.
TEE TRIBUNE will DO furnished |
during the ensuing year at the fol-
lowing rates, payable in advance:
