PROSPECTUS FOR 1874.


The coming year promises to be |
the most eventfu1 in political sense |
that we have seen since the close Of !
tho war. Tho 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 varl-
GUS names---in California the Inde-
pendent party, in Iowa the Anti
Monopoly party, in Wisconsin the
Reform party, in Illinois the
Farmers: Moyemeut---having COM
mon purpose and inspiration, and
exhibiting strength which proves
that it answers oIe of the Chief de-
mands Of the hour. The CHICAGO
TRIBUNE will give large share
of it's attention to this NEW NAN
HESITATION OF PUBLIC SENT1-
MENT. It holds:
lst. That the old party organlza-
tions arc essentially corrupt and
fraudulent. Having no longer any
principles to carry into effect, they
have become mere business enter
prises, making q show Of opposition
to each other, but really sharing IN
tho proceeds OF profigate and dis
honest legislation. To suppose that
auy hcalthflll reform can flow from
the pretended efforts Of these worn
out and demora1ized partnerships
is altogether vain and Musory.
r71. -,
vogue is cunning device to rob the
many for the benefit of the few, and
that it's effect is to cause farm pro-
ducts to exchange for about one-haE
tho quantity Of foreign or "pro-
tected" goods they would otherwise
buy. +
J; 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 end fraudulent bonds, the
State may rightfully Interfere for the
protection OF the people; thatunjust
determinations between different
localities are in violation Of law, and
should be prohibited.
4th. That subsidies or bolnties OF
money, land, or public credit, to
railway, steamship, or other corpo-
rations, are fragrant abuses Of the
powers of government, fraught with
the gravest dangers to the people,
and tending to promote corruption,
extravaganza, speculation, and

The general character Of THE
CHICAGO TRIBUNE is too well
established to need recapitulatlon.
It is always independent and fear
less in the expression Of its views.
In its news department it Is second
to no paper in the United States.
Tho 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
cin1, and agricultural topics will
constitute, as heretofore, Leading
features Of the Weekly Edition, and
no pains will be spared to increase
it's attraotiveness in these depart
ments. It's market reports are ur1-
surpassed, embracing all the lnfor-
nation which farmers require for
the intelligent transaction OF. bus1~
ness, both as sellers and buyers.
THE WEEKLY TRIBUNE is a
large eight-page sheet, of the same
size as the Daily Tribune, consisting
of tifty-six columns Of closely
printed matter, and, as o family
newspaper and in ita general make
up, is unsurpassed by any paper In
the land.

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