Of its former editor, has resumed it's old po-
sition ct the head Of Republican journals, and

ciples of free government; and for purified
and honest administration Of National, State,
and Municipal affairs.
while giving to the Republican party
cordial and earnest support in all wise meas
ures and to all fit candidates, The Tribune

s.s The Recent Elections.
The recent elections, while INJECTING temno.
rary defeat on tho Republican party. have
done great good in sweeping away fana;ical
and side issues which embarrassed its freedom
OF action, and in crushing out those baleful
and corrupting influences known as Butler.
isms, which poisoned the channels of the
public life.
Peri2s of the Future.
The Democratic leaders, misrepresentiro
the real cause Of their triumph, are proclaim.
ing the result ''reaction'' of the popular
mind against the principles of the Republican
party. and an Endorsement of the fundamen
tai doctrines of the Democratic party, which
means estate Sovereignty" and all that ex-
preston includes. When that party obtains
possession OF the Government, under the re-
sumed leadership Of their Southern right
wing, steps will surely be taken in Congress
to refund the cotton War tax from the Feder-
al Treasury. principal and interest amounting
to SlOO, 100000 or more. A bill will be passed
to compensate the Democratic rebels for los sss
and damages sustained by them while resist
ing the Union armies and UNFOLDING the gov
ereign" State right of secession. And lastly
will come demand for the value of the e,aan-
ciPated slaves, who. u:der the doctrine Of
State Sovereignty, are alleged to have been
unconstitutionally liberated.
The Tribune's Platform.
The Chicago Tribune's position On the lead
ing measures now before the country may be
condensed into the following enuuciations:
As Agriculture is the basis of National
wealth. whatever policy benefits that great
interest promotes the prosperity of the whole
country. The cost of transportation Of Vests
ern farm products to foreign markets con-
ls~AA~SS
duties levied to substitute special interests
doubles the retail price Of the goods received
In exchange for the crops,-thus bleeding
and burdening the farmer until he staggers
from weakness under the weight of the load.
Hence the chief cause of "hard times" among
farmers.
7ar!Tand Transportation Charges,
The Tribune will advocate the adoption of
<nph nil ob,o
and reduce the taxes on goods. The highest
| tariff which will provide the Government
with necessary funds to carry it on and main
tain its credit sh Guild only be imdosed on i'm
ports, and the national highways should be
improved to create a stronger competition
| with the railroad monopolies. which will COM
pei them to lower their tariff of charges.
The Currency.
Plenty Of currency for all the legitimate
wants Of the country, with Elasticity as to
quantity. and Stability as to value by con-
yertibility into coin.
No Reputation.
| The Tribune will sternly combat rcpudia-
ton ofpubic obligations in the form of water
ing and debasing the currency or any other
guise it may assume.
No More Subsidies or Bounties.
Subsidies and bounties of public lands,
money, or credit to enrich railroad-rines, run
steamship companies, or forni.h capital to
other corporations, are fragrant abuses Of the
powers of Government, and tond to promote
corruption. extravaganza, and peculation
The Tribune will therefore in the future, as
IN the past, fight all such schemes Of public
plunder.
| In its news department it is second to none
in the United States. The Weekly Edition
contains carefully prepared summary of the
news OF the week, brought down to the hour
OF going to press.
| Literary, political, financial, social, and ag-
| ricultural topics will continue as heretofore,
leading features of the Weekly Edition, and
no pains will be spared to increase its attrac-
tiveness in those departments. Its market
reports are unsurpassed, embracing all the ia
| formation which farmers require for the in
te'iigent transaction of bushes, both as sellers
| and buyers.
