Ihe coming year promises 20 po
tho most eventful in political sense
that we have seen since the close OF
tho war. The questions which have
engrosced and divided the public
mind during tho past twenty years
are rapidly passing eway, and we
find growing up in different parts Of
tho country party called by varl-
GUS names---in California the 1nde-
pendent party, in Iowa the Anti
Monopoly party, in Wisconsin the
Reform party, in Illinois the
| Farmers Movement---having 8 COM
| mon purpose and inspiration, and
exhibiting q strength which proves
that it answers one Of the chief de-
| mauds Of the hour. The CHICAGO
TRIBUNE will give large share
Of its attention to this NEW NAN
HESITATION OF PUBLIC sENT1-
MENT. It holds:
lst. That the old party organlzn-
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 profligato and dis
honest legislation. To suppose that
aav healthful reform can flow from
the pretended efforts Of these worl-
out and demoralized partnerships
! is a1together vain and lnusory.
I'd. That tho tariff system now in
vogue is a cunning device to rob the
many fer the benefit Of the fow, and
that it's effect is to cause farm pro-
ducts to exchange for about one-haf
the quantity Of foreign or |spro-
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.
| 4th. That subsidies or bounties 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 TIL /;
! CHICAGO TRIBUNE is too well
established to need recapitulatlon' n
It is always independent and tear
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 caro-
fully prepared summary Of the news
Of the week, brought down 10 the
hour Of going to press.
Literary, political, financial, SO.
cia1. and agricultural topics Will
constitute, as heretofore, leading
| features Of the Weekly Edition, ano
no pains will be spared to increase
it's attractiyencss in these depart
mcnts. Its market reports are un'
] surpassed, enutEciii6 t'd eHo AA
| nation which farmcrs require 1o1
the Intelligent transaction Of bus1'
ness, both as sellers and buyers.
