.ne most eventtul il a political sense
Ea2t We have seen since the close OF
tao war. The questions which have
engroesed and divided the public
MIND during the past twenty years
are rapidly passing away, and we
ND growing up in different perts Of
tho country g. party called by Var1-
GUS names---in California the lnde-
pendent party, in lows the Anti
Monopoly party, in Wisconsin the
Reform party, in Illinois the
Farmers Movement---having 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 large share
Of it's attention to this NEW MAN.
HESITATION OF PUBLIC SENTI-
MENT. 1t holds:
lst. That the old party organize
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 ID
the proceeds Of prodigate and dis
honest legislation. To suppose that
any healthfl reform can flow from
the pretended efforts Of these worn
out and dem oraized partnerships
is altogether vain and 1}usory.
I'd. That the tariff system now in
vogue is q cunning device to rob the
many for the benefit Of the few, and
that it's effect is to cause farm pro-
duets to exchange for about one-haH
the quantity Of foreign or "pro-
tected" 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 rightfully interfere for the
protection OF the people; that unjust
determinations between different
| localities are in violation Of law and
should be prohibited.
9TH. That subsidies or bounties OF
money, land, OR public credit, TO
! railway, steamship, or other corpo-
rations, are fragrant abuses OF the
| powers Of government, traught with
| the gravest dangers to the people,
and tending to promote corruption,
extravaganza, speculation, and
financial disaster
| The general character OF TILE
| CHICAGO TRIBUNE is too well
| established to need recapltulat1on.
It is always independent and fear
less in the 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.

cial. and agricultural topics Will

ments, Its market reports are ur-
surpassed, embracing all the 1ntor-
nation which farmers require tor
tho intelligent transaction Of busl-
ness, both as sellers and buyers.
