PROSPECTUS FOR 1874.

PROSPECTUS FOR 1874.
Tho coming year promises to be
the most evontftll in q political sense
TINT we have seon since the close of
tho war. The questions which havo
| engrossod and divided the public
mind during tho past twenty years
aro rapidly passing away, and we
find growing up in different parts Of
tho country q party called by vari-
GUS names---in California the Inde-
pendent party, in Iowa the Anti
Monopoly party in Wisconsin tho
Reform party, in Illinois tho
Farmers Movement---having q 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 q large share
Of its attention to this NEW MAN.
HESITATION OF PUBLIC SENTI-
MENT. 1t holds:
1st. That the old party organ1za-
tions are essentially corrupt and
fraudulent. Having no 1ongor any
principles to carry into edFoot, they
have become mere business enter
prisos, making show Of opposition
to each othor, but really sharing in
the proceeds Of prof1igate and dis
honest legislation. To suppose that
any healthful reform can flow from
the pretended efforts Of these worm
out and deuorn1ized partnerships
is altogether vain and illusory.
ed. That the tariff system now in
vogue is a cunning device to rob the
many for tho benefit Of the few, and
that its effect is to cause farm pro-
ducts to exchange for about ono-half
tho quantity Of foreign or spro-
tected" goods they would otherwise
buy.
Sd. That railroads cannot exact
moro than fair rate Of interest on
tho capital actually invested in them,
and that when, in addition to this,
they claim dividends on wntered
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
should be prohibited.
4th. That subsidies or bounties
money, land, Or public credit, to
RAILWAY, steamship, or other corpo-
rations, arc hagrant 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 wou
established to need reoapitu1ation.
It is always Independent and fear-
less in tho expression Of its views.
In it's news department it is second
to no paper in the United States.
Tho Weekly Edition contains @ care-
fully prepared summary Of the news
Of tho week, brought down to the
hour Of going to press.
Literary, political, financial, So
cial, and agricultural topics will
constitute, as heretofore, leading
features Of the Weekly Edition, and
no pains will be spared to increase
its attractiveness in these depart
ments. Its market reports are l1n-
surpassed, embracing au the infor-
nation which farmers require for
the Intelligent transaction Of busi-
ness, both as sellers and buyers.
THE WEEKLY TRIBUNE is
large eight-pago sheet, of tho same
size as the Daily Tribune, consisting
Of tlfty-six columns Of closely
printed matter, and, as O family
newspaper and in its general make
up, is unsurpassed by any paper in
the land.
THE TRIBUNE will be furnished
during the ensuing year at the fol-
lowing rates, payable in advance:
