THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE
1870.

A great Presidential Campaign
| will soon commence. The struggle
will determine whether the Govern

tinue to be administered by the party
which preserved it from dismember.

to destroy or refused to save IT, III
order that Slavery might be mann
tanned.
Those who desire the Republican
party to remain in power, cannot
more etfeetually contribute to that
end than by increasing the circulation
of The CHICAGO TRIBUNE in their
neighborhoods. Among the leading
Republican newspapers none take a
higher rank or will WELD a more po-
tential influence in the next Presiden-
tial Campaign. Every intelligent
citizen will find it indispensable for
the facts and arguments it will
contain.
THE TRIBUNE's PLATFORM
On the leading measure before the
public, The CHICAGO TRIBUNE holds
the following views, believing them
to be right as well as Republican
/. A reform of the Currency, max
ing it as stable and good as gold and
silver, without injury to the debtor
classes.
2. Reduction of direct State, and
TNouotfOn
3. ECONOMY and Retrenchment in
Public Expenditures; no Bounties or
Subsidies of Public Money for Private
Schemes, or Payment OF Rebel Losses
out of the National Treasury.
4. An honest maintenance of Pub
lie Credit, and Condemnation of
Reputation in any form or shape.
S. State Control and Supervision
over Common Carriers and Corporate
Monopolies, not to Cypress them but
to protect the people.
6. Exposure and Punishment of all
Official Corruption and Frauds on the
Revenue. 'Let no guilty man escape"
Z. Honest and Fit Men for all
Offices-giving good Unionists pre-
ference over former Secessionists.
s. Sovereignty of the Union in all
National Matters State Rights and
independence in all Local Matters.
8. Election of President by direct
vote Of the people, without the clumsy
and dangerous intervention of Elect
oral Colleges, which may cause a
civil war.
10. A constitutional amendment
prohibiting the division Of the Public
School funds of any State for sectar-
ian purpose.
The Political Department is but
| one of the many excellent features of
the Tribune, ON which is based its
claims as superior.
FAMILY AND HOME PAPER
AS newspaper it has few equals
in the United States. It's home and
foreign correspondence, literary and
miscellaneous department, are exceed
ingly rich, instructive, and entertain
ing and the agricultural department,
eminently practical, contains matter
always seasonable, and suited to
direct application to the active oper-
atoms of the farmer. In the depart
ment. field and stable is given valuable
information as to the diseases and
care of live stock, this contributed by
a veterinary surgeon of skill and
experience, who will answer all ques-
tions asked by correspondents.
