The CHICAGO TRIBUN E
FOR 1876.

=. LIZ Ss
A great Presidential Campaign will soon COM
mence That struggle will determine whether the
Government of the United States shall continue
to be administered by the party which preserved
it from ACKNOWLEDGMENT, or by the men who en-
deavored to destroy refused to help save it, in
order that Slavery might be maintained.
Those who desire the Republican party to re-
main in power cannot more efficiently contribute
to that end than by increasing the circulation of
THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE in their neighborhoods. -
Among the leading Republican newspapers none
takes higher rank Or will WELD more potential
influence in the next Presidential Campaign. Ev-
cry intelligent citizen will find it indispensable
for the facts and arguments it will contain.
THE TRIBUNE'S PLATFORM.
On the leading measures before the public, TIE
CHICAGO TRIBUNE holds the following views, be.
leving them to be right as well as Republican:
l. Reform of the Currency, making il as
stable and good gold and silver, without injury
to the debtor classes
2. Reduction of direct State, and indirect Ma
tional Taxation
3. Economy and Retrenchment in Public Ex-
penditures; no Bounties Subsidies of Public
Moneys for Private Schemes or Payment Of Rebel
Losses out of the National Treasury.
a. An honest maintenance of Public Credit
and Condemnation OF Reputation in any form or
shape
5. State Control and Supervision over Common
Carriers and Corporate Monopolies, not to Cypress
them but to protect the people.
9. Exposure and Punishment of all Official
Corruption and Frauds on the Revenue. Let no
guilty man escape
T. Honest and Fit Men for all onices-givng
good Unonists preference over former Secession
lists.
S. Sovereignty of the Union in all National Mat
tiers; State Rights and Independence in all Local
Matters.
9. Election of President by direct vote of the
People, without the clumsy and dangerous inter
vention of Electoral Colleges, which may some day
cause Civil War
10. A Constitutional Amendment prohibiting
division of the Public-SchoJl Funds of any State
for Sectarian Purposes.
The Political Department is but one of the ma
ny excellent features of THE TRIBUNE, on which
is based its claims superior

The West has closely copied New
England in educational matters, and has
erected expensive school buildings and
made large appropriations for maintaining
them. But there are many complaints
against them. A Cincinnati paper char
acterizes The public schools as excess
lively expensive and top-heavy." Another
paper says; They ale becoming so top
heavy with efforts to make them what
they ought not to be that theJ are des-
tined to tumble over, or rather, TO tumble
back to the original standards and meth
od,' A Chicago journal regards The
high-schools in this way: 1.-The free
high. school has given us lawyers, clerks,
bookkeepers and bankers instead of pro-
ilcient artisans. 1t has added to callings
that could be dispensed with without
great detriment to the public, and taken
young men from occupations that are of
great use to the world. 1t is often said
that in our free school system the rich
educate the poor; but so far as most pu-
pills in high schools are concerned the
Door educate the rich. ~. Y. Tribune.
