THE Recent ELECTIONS.
The recent elections while inficting tenn
pnrary defeat on the Republican party, have
done great good in sweeping away tanatical
and side issues which embarrassed its free
dom OF action, and in crushing out those
baletul aud corrupting influences known as
"Butleri>ms' which poisoned the channels of
the pa lie life. Purified as by fire of evil
things which had Infested its garments, the
Republican party viii enter upon the ,remen-
deus struggle % 1876 with renewed yigor
for the possession of the Government and
the shaping the policy OF the nation
when it enters upon the s. cond century of its
existence.
THE TRIBUNE's PLATFORM.
The Chicago Ttibunc's post on on the
leaing measures now before the country
may be condensed into the following enun-
Citations
As Agriculture Is the basis of National
wealth, wha ever policy benefits that great
interest promotes the prosperity of the whole
country. The cost of transportation of Wes-
tern farm products TO foreign markets con
aumcs half the settling value, and the high
duties levied to subsidize special interests
doubles the retail price of the goods received
in exchange for the crops thus bleeding
and burdening the farmer until he stagger5
from weakness under the weight of load.
Hence the chief cause OF hard times"
among farmers
TARIFF Il TRANSFORMATION CHARGES.
The Tribune will advocate the adoption of
such measures as will cheaper transportation
and reduce the taxes on goods. The lightest
tariff which will provide the Government
with necessary funds TO carve it on and
maintain its credit should only be imposed
on imports and the national highways
should be improved to create IA stronger
which will compel them to lower their tariff
of charges.
REDUCTION OF STATE AND LOCAL TAXES
The utmost reduction of all direct taxes
must be insisted upon by the people
Within Il few years county, township, aud
taxation has enormously increased
and become almost beyond endurance,
throughout the western States Steps
~. H.
as well as those OF the National Government
and choke down the Unsuitable greed of the
local ax-eaters, before all the surplus earn
ings of The industrious classes are confiscated
by these tax-devourers.
TIE CURRENCY
Plenty of currency for all the legitimate
wants of the country, with Elasticity as to
quantity, and Stability as to value by convert
ubiity into coin. An end should be put to
the continual Illustrations in the value of the
currency, which infi.cts incalcuible injury on
industry and enterprise, as it intoduces an
element of doubt and uncertainty into all
Transactions and makes business lttle better
than gambling 1t is national disgrace as
we'll as EVIL for the monetary etanard of val
ues to be kept in 81 ch vacilating and chang,
cable condition.
NO REPUTATION.
The Tribune will stcrnlv combat repudia-
ton of public obligation in the form of wa
trring and debas!ng the currency or any
other guise il may assume. For every dol
lar out f which the public creditors may be
cheated by any form Of currency dilution or
repundation the people will suffer the loss of
a hundred which will result from the des-
truction of credit that will fall like blight
"A L - n
as on corporations and individuals The ma
tional credit must be maintained pure and I'M
sullad, and, like the virtue of Caesars wife,
above suspicion.
NO MORE SUBSIDIES OR BoUNTIES.
Subsidies and bouutIeS of public lands,
money or credit to enrich railroad rings, run
steamship companies, are flgran aliases of
the powers of Governments, and tend TO pro-
mote corruption, extravaganza, and pecula-
ton. The Tribune will therefore in the fu-
ture as in the past, fight all such schemes of
public plumber.
