Ashtabula telegraph. (Ashtabula, Ohio) 1874-1880, 1874-01-10
PROSPECTUS FOR 1874.

The coming year promises to be the most event.
inl In political sense that We have seen since
the close OF the war. The questions which have
engrOssed and divided the public mind during the
past twenty yeurs, are rapidly passing away, and
we find growing up in different parts Of the coun-
try party called by various names-in California
the independent party, in Iowa the Anti-Monopo-
ly party. in Wisconsin the Reform party IN Him
ois the farmers MOVement-having q common
purpose and inspiration and exhibiting a strength
which proves that it answers one Of the chief de-
mands Of the hour. The CHICAGO TRIBUNE
will give large share Of its attention to this
NEW MANIFESTATION OF PUBLIC SENTI-
MENT. 1t holds:
1st. That old party organizations are essentially
corrupt and fraudulent. Having no longer auy
principles to carry into effect, they have become
mere business enterprises, making show Of op-
position to each other, but really sharing in the
proceeds Of prohfgate and dishonest legislation.
To suppose that any healthful reform can dow from
the pretended efforts Of these WOrn-out and demor-
allied partnerships is altogether vain and ilusory.
ard. That the tariff system now In vogue is q
cunning device to rob the many for the benefit Of
the few, and that its effect is to cause farm prod
ucts to exchange for about one half the quantity
Of foreign or protected" goods they would other
wise buy. t|-t " 4ff'
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
bonds, the State may rightfnlly interfere for the
protection Of the people that unjust discrimina
tons between different localities are in violation
OF law and should be prohibited.
GEfFETtfE WTT GTf
4th. That subsidies or bounties Of money. land
or public credit to railway, steamship, or other
corporations, are hagrant abuses Of the powers Of
government, fraught with the gravest dangers to
the people, and tending 10 promote corruption,
extraVagance, speculation, and financial disaster.
The general character Of THE CHICAGO TRIB-.
UNE is too well established to need recapitulation.

preston Of its views. In its news department it
