PROSPECTUS FOR 1874.
PROSPECTUS FOR 1874.

The coming year promises to bo
the most oventful in q political sense
that we have seen since the close OF
tho war. The questions which have
engrossod and divided the public
mind during the past twenty years
are rapidly passing away, and VIC
find growing up in different parts OF
the country O party oalled by varl-
GUS namos---in California tho 1nde-
pendent party, in Iowa tho Anti !
Monopoly party, in Wisconsin tho
Reform party, in Illinois the !
Farmers Movelnent---having q COM
mon purpose and inspiration, and
exhibiting strength which proves
that it answers one Of tho chief de-
mands of tho hour. The CHICAGO
TRIBUNE will givo q large share
of it's attention to this NEW MAN
HESITATION OF PUBLIC SBNTI-
MENT. It holds:
1st. That the old party orgnnlza
tions are essentially corrupt and
fraudulent. Having no longer any
principles to carry into effect, they
have become mere business entor-
prises, making O. show of opposition
to each other, Xut really sharing in
the proceeds OF profiignte and dis
honest legislation. To suppose that
any healthful reform can flow from
the pretended efforts Of these worm
out and domoralizod partnerships
is altogether vain and illusory.
| m Il. {r- c+4Y, i1,
vogue is cunning dovice to rob the
| many for the benefit Of tho few, and
that it's effect is to cause farm pro-
ducts to exchange for about one-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
the capital actually invested in them,
| end that when, in addition to this,
they olnim dividends on watered
stock and fraudulent bonds, the
State may rightfully interfere for the
protection Of the people; that unjust
determinations betwoon different
localities are in violation Of law and
should be prohibited.
4th. That subsidies or bountie8 of
money, land, or public credit, to
railway, steamship, or other corpo-
rations, are fragrant abuses OF the
powers Of government, fraught with
the gravest dangers to the people,
and tonding to promote corruption,
extravaganco, speculation, and
financial disaster.
