g.: r-.444ug year promises to be
vae most eventfu1in o political sense
that we have seen since the close of
tho war. The questions which have
engrossed and divided lthe public
mind during the past twenty years
are rapidly passing aw:ay, and VIC
find growing up in differ ent parts Of
the country a party Called by vari-
Gus names---in California the Inde-
pendent party, in Iowa tho Anti
Monopoly party, in WISCONSIN the
Reform party, in illinois the
Farmers MISUNDERSTANDING q COM,
mon purpose and inspiration, and
exhibiting atstrength! which proves
that it answers ono Of the chief de-
mands Of the hour. The CHICAGO
TRIBUNE will give large share
Of its attention to this NEW MAN
HESITATION OF PUBLIC SENTI-
MENT. It holds: v~
1st. That the old party organlza-
tions are essentially corrupt and
fraudulent. Having no longer any
principles to carry into effect, they
have become mere business. enter
prises, making a,show Of opposition
to each other, but really sharing in
the proceeds OF prohigate and dis
honest legislation. To suppose that
nny honlthful r,ofor1n Gun Gowr from
the pretended efforts Of these worm
out and demorahzed partnerships
is altogether vain and il1usory.
I'd. That the tariff system now in
vogue is q cunning device to rob the
many for the benefit Of the few, and
that it's effect is to cause farm pro-
duets to exchange for about ono-half
the quantity of foreign or "pro-
teeted" goods they would otherwise
buy.
Sd. That railroads cannot exact
more than fair rate Of interest on
tho capital actually invested in them,
and that when, in addition to this,
they claim dividends on watered
stock and fraudulent bonds, the
State may nghtfu1ly interfere tor the
protection Of the people; that unjust
determinations between different
localities are in violation Of law and
should be prohibited.
4th. That subsidies or bolnties
money, land, Or public credit, to
railway, steamship, or other corpo-
rations. are aagrant 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 THE
CHICAGO TRIBUNE is too well
established to need recapitulation.
It is always independent and foar-
less in the expression of its views.
In its news department it is second
to no paper in the United States.

of the week, brought down to the
hour Of going to press.

cial, and agricultural topics will

features Of the Weekly Edition, and
no pains will be spared to increase
its attractiveness in these depart
ments. Its market reports are I'M
surpassed, embracing all the infor-
nation which farmers require for
the Intelligent transaction Of busi-
ness, both as sellers and buyers.

size as the Daily Tribune, consisting
