¢ Chicage Daily Teibune, - VOLUME 7. THE OHICAGO TRIBUNE, CEICAGO WEEKLY TRIBUNE. THE LEADING NEWSPAPER N THE NORTHVESL THE PAPER FOR THE FARMER, MECHANIC, MANUFACTURER, _ MERCHANT, BANKER, - - PROFESSIONAL MAW, AND THE FIRESIDE, PROSPECTUS FOR 1874. The coming year _prumisos to bo | the most eventfulin a political sense that we have soen since tho close of |\ i the war., Tho quostions which have |: engrossed and dividod the public mind during tho past twen#y years are rapidly passing away, and‘wo find growing up in differont parts of the country a party callod by vari- ous names---in California the Inde-~ pendent party, in Yowa the Anti- Monopoly party, in Wisconsinz the Reform party, in Illinois the Farmers’ Movement---having a com- mon purpose and inspiration, ‘nnd exhibiting a strength which proves that it answers one of tho chief de- mands of the hour. The CHICA GO TRIBUNE will give a large shaire of its attention to this NEW MAIN- IFESTATION OF PUBLIC SENTI- | MENT., It holds: 1st. That the old party organiza~ tions are ossentially corrupt and fraudulent. Having no longer any* principles to carry into effect, they* lhave become more business enter-« prises, making a show of opposition.{ to each other, but really sharing. in.’ the proceeds of profligate and dis-. honest legislation., To suppose thatt ony healthful reform can flow from; the pretended efforts of these worn-« out and demoralized partnershipa: is altogother vain and illusory. 2d. That the tariff’ system now in.:f voguse is a cunning device to rob the. meany for the bonefit of the few, and. that its effect is to cause farm pro- ducts to exchange for about one-half’{| the quantity of foreign or ¢ pro- tected” goods they would otherwise y buy. !( 8d. Thet railroands cannot exact:’ more then a fair rate of interest on, the capital actually investedin them,. and that when, in addition to this,, they claim dividends on wateredi stock and fraudulent bonds, ther{ * Btate may rightfully interfere for the: ‘The Weelkly Edition contains a care- protection ofthe people ; that unjust: discriminations between different! localities are in violation of law and. should be prohibited. 4th. That subsidios or bounties o1? money, land, or public credit, to,} railway, stenmship, or other corpo- rations, are flagrant abuses of thes powers of government, fraught with, | the gravest dangers to the peopls,,! end tending to promote corruption,. extravagance, spoculation, and. financial disaster. i The general character of THE' CHICAGO TRIBUNE is too well.: pstablished to need recapitulation.’. It is always independent and fear-; less in the expression of its views...| In its news department it is second. to no paper in the United States.. fully prepared summary of the news. of the weck, brought down to the, hour of going to press. . Literary, political, financial, so. cial, and agricultural topics will, constitute, as heretofore, 1as.ding:é features of the Weekly Edition, and. no pains will be spared to increase: its attractiveness in these depart- ments.

Whether ho recommonded this or ‘not, it scems sssurod that it will bo the flrat aot which Oongress will pass. The Becrotary says that whethor he go for inflation or contraction Lo will make eno- ‘mies, but he is on good torms with himsolt, aad thinks ho bas saved the Treasury onco or twice alrendy. He will favor the convertiblo bond of small _denominations, beginning as low down and convertible into groenbacks at pleasuro. The old bonds of highor .donomina- tions will, of courso, bo drawn in a8 these smallor bonds are put out. The object of this schome, a8 has beon ;aftor explained, is to make working poople, sorvants, and tho labor- ers, thrifty olassos, havo an interest ihtho national securities. It is thought that this issuo of small bonds will be favored by both contrac- tiouists and oxpanslonists. The most important edmiesion of Mr. Richardson is that ho will probably’ bs = borrowor of gold and groonbacks within three months to pay the current oxpenses of the Government, and the interost on the public debt.

By this policy the bonded warchouses sre filled with goods which importors cannot pay dutles upon the stopping of factories has lessened the quan- tity of materlala on which intornal revanue can bo collected. Another suggestion of the Secro- tary will atiract groat attention. He oxpects to recommond to Congross the restoration of the duty on tea and coffes, e shows that placing thoso artiolos on the frea list has not reduced tho prico to consumers, and that the Congrossional ery of cheapening the poor man's bevarages, and moking a froe breakfast-table has mot proved & success ; whereas, these articles formerly Dbrought $20,000,000 of rovonue avery year.

He holds that the recent genoral oritiolsms on his courso have goasonod him and made him indopendent and froe to declare his honost opinion without regard to low tariff mon or protectioniats, or any other echool of political oconomists, The Seoretary is guarded in hiy discusgion of the above propositions, but his curlosity to sound in advanco the probability of thoir accoptance by the public has fastoned the attontion of journallsts upon them, A — FINANOIAL, FINANCIAL.
