PROSPECTUS FOR 1874.
The coming year promises to be
the most eventful in o political sense
that we have seen since the close of
tho war. The questions which have
ongrossed 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 a party called by vari-
GUS namos---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, nnd
exhibiting d strength which proves
that it answers one Of the chief de-
mands of the hour. The CHICAGO
TRIBUNE will give large share
Of it's 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
have become mere business enter-
prises, making a show Of opposition
to each other, but really sharing in
the proceeds of profligato and dis
honest legislation. To suppose that
any hoalthful reform can flow from
the pretended efforts Of these worn
out and demoralized partnerships
is altogether vain and illusory.
I'd. That tho tariff system now in
vogue is O 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-half
the quantity Of foreign or s*pro-
tected" goods they would otherwise
buy.
Sd. That railroads cannot exact
more than fair ratio Of interest on
the capital actually invested in them,
and that whom, in addition to this,
they claim dividends on waterod
stock and fraudulent bonds, the
State may rightfully interfere for the
protection Of the people; that unjust
determinations between different
localities are in violation of law and
should be prohibited.
Ath. That subsidies or bounties of
money, land, or public credit, to
railway, steamship, or other corpo-
rations, are dagrant abuses Of the
powers Of government, fraught with
the gravost dangers to the people,
and tending t'' promote corruption,
