the most eventfu1 in political sense
that we havo seen since the close Of
tho war. The questions which have
engrossed and divided tho public
mind during the past twenty years
are rapidly passing away, and we
lind growing up in different parts Of
the country q party called by vari-
GUS namos---in California the Inde-
pendent party, in Iowa 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
TRIBUTE will give a large share
Of its attention to this NEW MAN.
HESITATION OF PUBLIC SENTI-
MENT. It holds:
1st. That the old party organlaa-
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 protligato and dis
honest legislation. To suppose that
any healthful reform can flow from
tho pretended efforts Of these worm
out and domoralized partnerships
is altogether vain and illusory.
Cd. That tho tariff system now in
vogue is cunning devico to rob the
many for the benefit Of tho fow, and
that its effect is to cnuso farm pro-
ducts to exchange for about one.half
the quantity of foreign or "pro-
tected" goods they would otherwise
buy.
Sd. That railroads cannot exact
move chan q 1alr rate OF 1nrerost on
the cnpital actually invested in them,
and that when, in addition to this,
they claim dividends on watered
stock and fraudulent bonds, the
State may rightfully intorfore 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
money, land, or public credit. to
railway; steamship, or other corpo.
ratlons, are hagralt abuses Of the
powers Of government, traught 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 well
established to need recapitulation.
It is always independent and faar-
less 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.
cia1, and agricultural topics will
constitute, as heretofore, LEADING
features Of the Weekly Edition, and
no pains will be spared to increase
its attractivoness in these depart
ments. Its market reports aro un-
surpassed, embracing all tho infor.
nation which farmers require for
the Intelligent transaction Of busi.
ness, both as sollors and buyers.
TEE WEEKLY TRIBUNE is

size as tho Daily Tribune, consisting
Of tifty-six columns Of closely
printed matter, and, as q family
