PROSPECTUS FOR 1874.


The coming year promises to be
the most eventfu1 in political sense
that we have seen sincesthe close Of
tho war. The questions which have
engrossed and divided the 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 1ndo-
pendent party. In. Iowa the Anti
Monopoly party, In Wisconsin the
Reform party, in Illinois tho
Farmers oVetnent---haVing 6 COM
mon purpose and inspiration, and
exhibiting O. strength which proves
that it answers one of the chief de-
mends 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 organlza-
tions are essentially corrupt and
fraudulent. Having no longer any
principles to carry into effect, they
have become mere business enter
priscs, making show of opposition
to each other, but reeny sharing in
the proceeds Of profigate and dis
honest legislation. TO suppose that
any healthfrl reform can how from
the pretended efforts Of these worn
out and demoralized partnerships
is altogether vain and lnusory.
2d. 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-half
the quantity Of foreign Or "pro-
tccted' goods they would otherwise
buy.
Sd. That railroads cannot exact
more than O fair rate Of interest on
the capital actually invested in them,
and that whom, in addition to this,
they claim dividends on wGtered
stoc1s and fraudulent bonds, the
State may rightfully interfere for the
protection Of the people; that unjust
determinations between different
localities aro in violation Of law and
should be prohibited.
4th. That subsidies or bountles OF
money, land, OR public. credit, to
railway, steamship, or other corpo-
rations, are fagrant abuses Of the
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 well
established to need recap1tu1ation.
It is always independent and 1ear-
less in tho expression Of its views.
In it's 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 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
it's attractiveness in these depart
ments, Its market reports are un-
surpassed, embracing all the 1n1or-
nation which farmers require Tor
the intelligent transaction OF busl-
ness, both as sellers and buyers.
THE WEEKLY TRIBUNE is q
large eight-pago sheet, Of the same
size as the Daily Tribune, consisting
Of t1fty-six columns Of closely
printed matter, and, as q family
newspaper and in its general make
up, is unsurpassed by any paper IN
the land.

during the ensuing year at the fol-
lowing rates, payable in advance:
