PROSPECTUS FOR 1874.


The coming year promises to be
the most eventfu1 in political sense
that we have seen since the close Of
tho wnr. The questions which havo
engrossed and divided tho public
mind during the past twenty years
are rapidly passing away, and we
find growing up in dit1eront parts OF
the country party called by Vari-
GUS names---in California tho Indc-
pendent party, in Iowa the Anti
Monopoly party, in Wisconsin the
Reform party, in Illinois the
Farmers ment---having a COM
mon purpose and inspiration, and
exhibiting q strength which proves
that it answers ono Of tho chief de-
mands of the hour. The CHICAGO
| TRIBUNE will give large share
of its attention to this NEW MAN.
HESITATION OF PUBLIC SENTl-
MENT. IT holds:
| 1st. That the old party organlz a
tions arc essentially corrupt and
fraudulent. Having no longer any
principles to carry into effect, they
have become mere business enter"
prises, making C show Of opposition
to each other, but really sharing IN
the proceeds Of profligate and dis
honest legislation. TO suppose that
anv healthful reform Gun flow from
the pretended efforts Of these worn,
out end demoralizod partnerships
is altogether vain and ilueory.
Cd. That the tariff system now iR
vogue is @ cunning device to rob the
many for the benefit Of the few, and
that it's effect is to cause farm pro"
ducts 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 Watored
stock and fraudulent bonds, the
State may rightf1lly 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 o
money, land, or public credit, to
railway, steamship, Or other corpo-
rations, are nagrant abuses Of the
powers Of government, fraught with
:; the gravest dangers to the people,
" and tending to promote corruption,
extravagance, speculation, and
: financial disaster.
