THE PAPER FOR THE
PROSPECTUS FOR 1874.

The coming year promises to be the most event
| ful in political sense that we have seen since
the close of the war. The questions which have
engrossed and divided the public mind during the
past twenty yeurs, are rapidly passing away, and
we find growing up in different parts of the coun-
try party called by various names-in California
the Independent party, in Iowa the Anti-MOnopo-
y party, in Wisconsin the Reform party in Hin
ois the Farmers MOvement-haYfng a common
purpose and inspiration, and exhibiting strength
which proves that it answers one of the chief de-
mands OF the hour. The CHICAGO TRIBUNE
VIII give a large share of its attention to this
NEW MANIFESTATION OF PUBLIC SENTI-
MENT. 1t holds
1st. That old party organizations are essentially
corrupt and fraudulent. Having no longer auy
principles to carry into effect they have become
mere business enterprises, making show of Op-
position to each other, but really sharing in the
proceeds Of prOfigate and dishonest legislation
10 suppose That any healthful reform can flow from
the pretended efforts of these worn-out and demor
allied partnerships is altogether vain and illusory
2Ed That the tariff system now in vogue is a
cunning device TO rob the many for the benefit of
the few, and that its effect is to cause farm prod
ucts to exchange Tor about one half the quantity
of foreign or protected goods they would other
wise buy.
3d. That railroads cannot exact more than fair
rate of interest on the capital actually invested
claim dividends on watered stock and fraudulent
bonds, the State may rightfuly interfere for the
protection of the people; that UNJUST discrimina
Jions 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
corporations, are flagTant abuses of the powers of
government, fraught with the gravest dangers to
the people, and tending TO promote corruption
extravaganza. speculation. financial
