ouo uost eVenClul IN q political EoQSe
that we have seen since tho close OF
tho war. The questions which have
engrossed and divided the public
mind during tho past twenty yoars
ore rapidly passing away, and wo
lind growing up in different parts Of
| the country a party called by vari.
Gus nnmos---in California the Inde-
pendent party, in Iowa the Anti
monopoly party, in Wisconsin tho
Reform party, in illinois tho
Farmers' Movemont---having COM
mon purpose and inspiration, and
exhibiting o strength which proves
that it answers one Of tho chief do
mands Of the hour. The CHICAGO
TRIBUNE will givo large share
Of it's attention to this NEW MAN.
HESITATION OF PUBLIC sENTI-
MENT. It holds:
1st. That tho old party organlza-
tions are essentially corrupt and
t fraudulent. Having no longer any
principles to carry into effect, they
have become more business enter-
prisos, making show Of opposition
to each othor, but really sharing in
the proceeds Of protiigate and dis
honest legislation. To suppose that
| any hea1thfu1 reform can flow from
the pretended efforts Of these worm
| out and demoralized partnerships
is altogether vain and 1lusory,
I'd. That tho tariff system now in
vogue is cunning device to rob the
many for the benefit Of the few, and
that it's effect is to cause farm pro-
ducts to exchange for about one-haf
the quantity Of foreign or sspro-
tected" goods they would otherwise
buy.
Sd. That railroads cannot exact
more than q 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 r1ghtfu1ly lnterforo for the
protection OF the people; that unjust
determinations between different
localities are in violation Of low and
should be prohibited.
4th. That subsidies or bounties Of
money, land, or public credit, to
railway, steamship, or other oorpo-
rations, are hagrant abuses of tho
powers Of government, fraught with
the gravest dangers to the people,
and tending to promote corruption,
extravaganza, speculation, and
financial disaster.
Tho general character Of THE
CHICAGO TRIBUNE is too woll
established to need rccapitulation.
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 Statos.
Tho Weekly Edition contains caro-
fully prepared summary Of the news
of the week, brought down to the
hour Of going to rross.
Literary, political, financial. So
olal, and agricultural topics will
constituto, as heretofore, loading
features Of the Wcokly Edition, and
no pains viii be spared to increase
its attractivenoss in these depart
monts. Its market reports are un-
surpassed, embracing all tho infor-
nation which farmers require for
the Intelligent transaction Of busi-
ness, both as sellors and buyers.
TEE WEEKLY TRIBUNE is
large eight-pago shoot, Of tho sanlo
size as the Daily Tribune, consisting
Of 1lfty-six columns of closely
printed mattor, and, as family
newspaper and in it's gonoral mako
up, is unsurpassed by any paper in
tho land.
THE TRIBUNE will bo furnished
during tho ensuing year at tho fol-
lowing ratios, payable in ndvanoo:
