Tho coming year promises to be
the most oventtul in O po1itionl sense
that we have seen since tho close Of
tho war. The questions which have
engrossod and divided the public
mind during tho past twenty years
are rapidly passing away, and we
find growing up in different parts Of
the country party called by vari-
GUS names---in California the Inde-
pendent party, in Iowa the Anti
Monopoly party, in Wisconsin the
Reform party, in Illinois the
Farmers Movement---having q COM
mon purpose and inspiration, and
exhibiting q strength which proves
that it answers one Of tho chief de-
mands Of tho hour. The CHICAGO
TRIBUNE will give large share
Of it's attention to this NEW MAN.
HESITATION OF PUBLIC SENTI-
MENT. It holds:
1st. That tho old party organ1za-
! tions arc essentially corrupt and
fraudulent. Having no longer any
principles to carry into effect, they
have bocomo nero business entor-
pr1sos, making show Of opposition
to each other, but really sharing in
tho proceeds Of profigate and dis:
honest legis1ation. To suppose that
any healthfu1 reform Gun flow from
tho pretended efforts of these worn
out and demoralisod partnerships
is altogether vain and illusory.
I'd. That the tariff system now in
vogue is q cunning devico to rob the
many for the benefit Of the few, and
| that its effect is to cause farm pro-
ducts to exchange for about one-hnlf
| 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 rightful1y Interfere for the
protection Of the people; thatunjust
DETERMINATIONS between different
|
should be prohibited.
| 9Th. That subsidies or bounties Of
| money, land, or public credit, to
railway, steamship, Or other corpo~
| rations, are t1agralt abuses Of the
powers Of government, fraught with
the gravest dangers to the people,
and tending to promote corruption,
extravaganza, speculation, and
financial disaster.
Tho general character Of TEE
CHICAG0 TRIBUNE is too we'll
established to need reorganization.
It is always independent and fear
loss in tho expression Of its views.
In its nows department. it is second
to no paper in the United States.
The Weekly Edition contains o caro-
tu1ly prepared summary Of the news
of the week, 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
| it's activeness in these depart
monts. Its market reports are un-
surpassed, embracing all tho infor-
nation which farmers require for
the Intelligent transaction OF busi-
ness, both as sellers and buyers.
TEE WEEKLY TRIBUNE is q
large oight-page sheet, Of tho samo
size as the Daily Tribune, consisting
OF ffty-six columns Of closely
printed matter, and, rs family
newspaper and in it's general mako
up, is unsurpassed by any paper in
tho land.
THE TRIBUNE will be furnished
during the ensuing year at the fol-
lowing rates, payable in advance:
