PROSPECTUS FOR 1874.


the most eventful in political sense
that we have seen since the close OF
tho war. The questions which have
engrossed and divided the public
mind during the past twenty years
are rapidly passing away, and WIG
find growing up in different parts OF
the country q party called by vaci-
GUS names---in California the Indo-
pendent party, in Iowa the Anti
Monopoly party, in Wisconsin the
Reform party, in Illinois the
Farmers Movement---having COM
mon purpose and inspiration, and
exhibiting strength which proves
that it answers one Of the chief do
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:
lst. That the old party organlza-
tions are essentially corrupt and
fraudulent. Having no longer any
principles to carry into effect, they
nave become mere business enter
prises, making q show Of opposition
to each other, but really sharing in
the proceeds OF prohigete and dis
honest legislation. To suppose that
any healthful reform can flow from
the pretended efforts Of these worn-
out and demoralized partnerships
is altogether vain and ilusory.
I'd. That the tariff system now in
vogue is cunning device 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-han
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 rightfully interfere for the
protection OF the people; that unjust
discrimina atoms between diferent
localities are in violation Of law and
should be prohibited.
4th. That subsidies or bounties
money, land, or public credit, to
railway, steamship, or other corpo-
ratlons, are hagrant 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 fear
less in the expression Of its views.
In its 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 to the
hour Of going to press.
Literary, political, financial, So
cial, and agricultural topics will
constitute, es heretofore, leading
features Of the Weekly Edition, and
no pains will be spared to increase
it's attractiveness in these depart
ments. Its market reports are un-
