Tho coming year promises to be
the most ovontful in political sonso
that wo have soon sinoe 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 we
find growing up in difforont parts Of
tho country party callod by vari-
ous namos---in California the Inde-
pendent party, in Iowa the Anti
Monopoly party, in Wisconsin the
Reform party, in Illinois tho
Farmers Movoment---having o 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 large sharo
Of it's attention to this NEW MAN
HESITATION OF PUBLIC sENTI-
MENT. It holds:
LIST. That tho old party organ1za
tions are essentially corrupt and
fraudulent. Having no longer any
principles to carry into effect, they
have become more business enttr-
prises, making @ show Of opposition
to each other, but really sharing III
the proceeds Of pro1igate and dis.
honest legislation. TO suppose that
any healthful reform can flow frcm
| the pretended efforts Of these worm
out and demoralized partnerships
is altogether vain and il1usory.
I'd. That the tariff system now in
vogue is cunning device to rob the
many for the benefit Of the few, and
that it's effcct is to cause farm pro-
ducts to exchange for about one-hal1
the quantity Of foreign or "pro-
tected" goods they would otherwise
buy.
Sd. That railroads cannot exact
moro than O 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 rightfu11y Interfere for the
protection Of the people that unjust
determinations botwocn different
localities are in violation Of law and
should be prohibited.
4th. Thnt subsidies or bounties oi
money, land, or public credit, to
railway, steamship, or other corpo.
rations, are fragrant abuses Of tho
powers Of government, fraught with
the gravest dangers to the people,
and tending to promote corruption,
extravagance, speculation, and
financial disaster -.--.
Tho general character Of THE
CHICAGO TRIBUNE is too we'll
established to need recapitulation.
It is always independent and fenr-
less in the expression Of its views.
In its news department. it is second
to no paper in the United States.

fully prepared summary OF tho news
Of the week, brought down to the
hour Of going to press.
Literary, political, financial, SO.
ciaI, and agricultural topics will

features Of tho Weokly Edition, and
no pains will be spared to increase
its attractivenoss in these depart.

surpassed, embracing all tho infor-

ness, both as sellers and buyers.
