THE LEADING NEWSPAPER IN THE NORTAVEST THE PAPER FOR THE FARMER, - MECHANIC, . - MANUFACTURER, MERCHANT, BANKER, : PROFESSIONAL MAR, . AND THE FIRESIDE.| ; PROSPECTUS FOR 1874. The coming yoar promises to be the most eventfulin a political sense that we have seen since tho closo of the war. The questions which have engrossed and divided the public mind during the past twenty years are rapidly passing away, and wo find growing up in different parts;of the country a party called by vaxi- | ous names---in California the Indo« yendent party, in Iown tho Anti- Monopoly party, in Wisconsin the Roform party, in Illinois the ¥Farmers’ Movoment---having o com- mon purpose and inspiration, and. exhibiting s strength which proves that it nnswers ono of the chief de- mands of the hour. Thé CHICAGO TRIBUNE will give a large share of its -attention to this NEW MAN- IFESTATION OF PUBLIC SENTI- | MENT. It holds: 1st. That the old party organiza- tions are essentially ‘corrupt and fraudulent. Having no longer any principles to carry into effect, they have become mere business enter- prises, making a show of opposition GIF? CONOERT. TUE STORTEST ROUTE T0 FORTUNE. $100,000 for only $2.60.

To suppose that any healthful reform can flow from the pretended efforts of these worn- out and demoralized partuerships is altogether vain and illusory. 2d, That the tariff” systom now in ‘voguo is o cunning device to rob the many for the benefit of the foew, and that its offect is to cause farm pro- ducts to exchange for about onc-half the quantity of foreign or * pro- tected” goods they would otherwise buy. 8d. That. railronds cannot exact more than a fair rate of interest on the capital actually invested in them, end that when, in addition to this, they claim dividonds on watored stock and fraudulent bonds, the State may rightfully interfere for the protection of the people ; thatunjust disoriminations between differént localities are in violation of law and should be prohibited. 4th. That subsidies or bountios of money, land, or public crodit, to railway, steamship, or other corpo- rations, are flagrant abuses of the powers of government; fraught with the gravest dangers to the people, and tending to promoto corruption, extravagance, speculation, and financial disaster. The general charactor of THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE is too well established to noed recapitulation. It is always independent and fear- less in tho expression of its views. In its nows dopartment it is sccond to no paper in the United States. The Weekly Edition contains a care- fully prepared summary of the news of the week, brought down to the hour of going to press. Literary, political, financial, so- cial, and agricultural topics will constitute, ss heretofore, leading features of the Weekly Edition, and no pains will be spared to increase its aottractiveness in these dopart- ments. Its market reports are un- surpassed, ombracing all the infor- mation which farmers require for the intelligent transaction of busi- ness, both as sellers and buyers. THE WEEKLY TRIBUNE is o large eight-page sheet, of the same size as the Daily Tribune, consisting of fifty-six columns‘of closely- printed matter, and, as a family newspaper and in its general make- up, is unsurpassed by any paper in the land. THE TRIBUNE will be furnished during the ensuing year at the fol- lowing rates, payable in advance: WEEKLY TRIBUNE, Stngle Copy. Five Coble: en Conl ¥lfteen Copl Wwenty Coplen... DAILY TRIBUNE.
