Iae coming year promises TO Do
the most eventful in q political sense
that we have seen since the close Of
tho war. The question which have
engrossed and divided the public
mind during the past twenty years
are rapidly passing away, and We
find growing up in different parts Of
the country q party called by var1-
Gus nannes---in California the Indo-
pendent party, in Iowa the Anti
Monopoly party, in Wisconsin the
Reform party, In Illinois the
Farmers Movement---having a COM
mon purpose and inspiration. and
exhibiting strength which proves
that it answers one Of the chief de-
mands Of the hour. The CHICAGO
TRIBUNE will give 8 large share
of it's attention to this NEW MAN.
HESITATION OF PUBLIC sENT1-
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
have become mere business enter
prises, making q show Of opposition
to each other, but really sharing in
the proceeds Of profigate and dis
honest legislation. To suppose that
any healthftl reform can how from
the pretended efforts Of these worn-
out and demorelized partnerships
is altogether vain and il1usory.
Cd. That the tariff system now in
vogue is cunning device to rob the
mary for the benefit Of the few, and
that its effect is to cause farm pro-
ducts to exchange for about one-half
the quantity Of foreign or "pro-
tected" goods they would otherwise
buy.
Sd. That railroads cannot exact
moro 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 rightfuly interfere for the
protection OF the people; that unjust
determinations betw3on different
localities ure in violation Of law and
should be prohibited.
4th. That subsidies OF bounties Of
money, land, OR public credit, to
railway, steamship, or other corpo-
rations, 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

less in the expression OF its views.
