e EChie ago Dailp Teibune, VOLUME 27. CHICAGO, TUESDAY,. NOVEMBER 18, 1873. NUMBER 89. THE OHIOAGO TRIBUNE. CHEHICACGO WEEKLY TRIBUNE. THE LEATING NEVSPAPER IN - THE NORTAVEST. THE PAPER FOR THE FARMER, MECHANIC, DANUFACTURER, HMERCHANT, DANKER, PROFESSIONAL MAN, AND TEE FIRESIDE. PROSPECTUS FOR 1874, The coming year promises to bo the most eventfulin a political sonse that we havo seen since tho close of the war. The quostions which have ongrossed and divided the public mind during the past twonty ycars ave rapidly passing away, and we find growing up in different parts of the country a party called by vari- ous names---in California the Inde- pendent party, in Iowa the Anti- Monopoly party, in 'Wisconsin the Roform party, - in Illinois the Farmers’ Maovement---having a com- mon purpose and inspiration, and exhibiting a strength which proves that it answers one of the chief de- mands of the hour. The CHICAGO TRIBUNE will give a large sharo of its attention to this NEW MAN- IFESTATION OF PUBLIC SENTI- MENT. It holds: 1st. That the old party organiza- tions are essentislly corrupt and fraudulent., Having no longer any principles fo carry’into effect, thoy have become mere business entor- prises, making & show of opposition to each other, but really sharing in the proceeds of profligate and dis- honest legislation. To suppose that sny healthful reform can flow from the protended efforts of these worn- put and demorsnlized partnerships is altogether vain and illusory. 2d. That the tariff systom now in vogue is a cunning device to rob the many for the benefit of the few, and that its effect is to cause farm pro- duets to exchange for about one-half the quantity of foreign or ¢ pro- tected” goods they would otherwise buy. 8d. That railroads cannot exact more than & fair rate of interest on the capital ectually investedin them, wnd that when, in eddition to this, they claim dividends on watered stock and fraudulent bonds, the Btate may rightfully interfere for the protection of the poople ; thatunjust discriminations botween different localities aro in violation of law end should be prohibited. * 4th. That subsidies or bounties of money, land, or public credit, to railway, stermship, or other corpo- rations, are flagrant abuses of the powers of govermment, fraught with the gravest dangers to the pcople, and tending to promote corruption, oxtravagance, = speculation, and financiel disaster. The goneral- character of THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE is too well established to need recapitulation. It is always indepondent and fear- less in the expression of its views. In its news department it is second to no paper in the United States. The Woelkly Edition contains & oare- fully propared summeary of the news of the weelk, brought down to the hour of going to press. Literary, political, finencial, so- pial, end agriculturel topics will constitute, as herctefore, leading features of tho Weekly Edition, and ypo pains will be spared to increase its attractiveness in these dopart- ments., Its market reports are un- surpassed, embracing all the infor- mation which farmers require for the intelligent transaction of busi- ness, both as sollers apd buyers. THE WEEEKLY TRIBUNNE is o large oight-page sheot, of tho sanfo size &8 the Daily Tribune, consisting of fifty-six columns of closely- printed mattor, and, as a family unewspaper and in its gonoeral make- up, is unsurpassed by any paper in the land.

Tho propricty of this courso waa too evident to require oxplanation, THEL GOVERNMENT DEING OAREFUL in what it in doing, and may hereaftor do, to work upon facts, and 0ot upon” assumptions and un- conflrmod roports. It was ossentinl that wo ghould boe propered to maintain our position.

A large audi- ence osgombled here also, and both meat- ings were of tho most onthusinstic charne~ ter, Tho Cuban residents have not gonorally supported tho proposilion for these mootings, partly becnuse they consider thom in o large measuro STOOR-JOBDING AFFAING, —{hough why nobody soems to know,—and part- Iy becaugo tho character of the speskers indi- oated that thoy would bo somowhat conserva- tive.

Bostox, Nov. 17.—Benator Sumner, in an in- torviow to-day in regard to tho Virginius offair, ‘enid that ho had writtor, and sent to Now York, o lottor to bo read at the meoting thore to-night. This letter embodied bis views on the subjact. It is a vory delicate question, as MMr. Bumner hinted, . and | opinions _ should bo carofully and calmly formed. Tho hasto and hoat of ~ popular clamor ho did_not think caloulated to gencrato sound and sobor views. e remarked: *I shall boat- tacked for what I havo written unleas thoy sup- press tho lotter. Thoy have contrivad to get up o vast deal of oxcitement on this quostion. Thoro in a popular indignation which overlooks tho roal lssne. ivo tho pooplo a litle time to ool off and thoy will listen to calmer views.,” Mr. Sumner also romarked on the attitude of cortain London journals on this mutter, some of which, never friendly to tho United States, avo doing all they enn to rouso indiguation in thin country. We need to be very caroful, ho thought, how we ad- just our policy to opinions received from that quarter. ‘Thoy would be too glad to involve us in & war with Spain. They do not like Re- }mbll\::mlsm in Spein, and would only delight to havo it erushod by tho Rtopublicanism of Amer- fes, England would rab her hauds in gloo if she could mako out the Virginius n second Ala- bame, Sho would be glad if wo placed oureolves in tho_samo position ns hersolf by recognizing tho Virginius, As to the logal pocts of thio case, Jr. Sumner said theso enred to his own mind vory clear, Tho fact that ho veseel wont under tho United Statesflag doca not nocessarily compromiso our honor, it suo was o flibustor, Tho flog and tho papprs were only o part of tho pratense. It would'be foolish, however, Lo romarked, to malke the caso of tho Virginius n plea for tho recogmtion of Cuba. 1t would be cruel, too, to precipitato a war with Spain, unless wo were roally drivon to it, Wo must save the Spanish Republic if pos- siblo, 3 *[)IE LETTER BUPTRESSED DY THE COMMITTER.

As Chicage bas among her oitizens men whe distinguished thomaolves as volunteors during tho rabellion, whoso martial ardor wonld bo likoly to bo arousod by the prospoct of & war with 8pain, and whoso opinion a3 soldiers is of aomo value, & ro- portor of Te TninuNe conversed with some o thom yestordsy, with the following result : GEN. J. D. WEDSTER ) waa quite willing to bo interviewed, and gave hia viows to the offect that, if tho Virginius had any right to carry the United States flag, the Gov- ernment must interfors, and most onergoticslly. Ho didnot know anything as to tho manner of intorforonco. The Govergmont must demand completo eatisfaction if tho vossel was thros miles from tlio Bpanish shore, on the high soas, and outside Spanish jurindiction. He doprecated muything like the annoxation of Cuba to this country, as we had quito enough territory, and ecnough diverso eloments in tho population already. Wo would bave no right to hold the island as a military proviuce, and it we annexod it wo should make s Torritory of it. The disposition, habits, and thoughts of tho inbabitants of the islond wore not in accord with ours,—thoy woro incongraous. Ho would not agroo to annoxation, ovon if Cubx votod in favor of It, and ho felt in tho same way towards Moxico. He did not care to seo a now oloment introdnced into the populstion. It would only breed troublo, The negro popula- tion of the Bouth would givo trouble for. n hundred yoars to come. It struak him as possible to make Cuba indopendent, her independonco to bo guarantoed by the United Statos, England, and France, though even that would bo contrary to the genius of our institu. tions, a8 our policy was to hold our own territo. 1y indepondont, end to avoid outsido entanglo- monts. Reverting to tho capture of tho Virgin- ius, tho Goneral thought our Government would demand tho punishmont of her captors and of the officers who directed tho excention of the prisoners. If the Virginiua bad sny right ta carry our flag, that was tho least satisfaction that could bo domanded. ‘The caso was partially similar to the Mason aud Slidell affair, only it was very much worso. Unde tho United States flag, if the vessol had a right to its protaction, the deck of tho vossel was the samo a8 tho soil of the country. He would ra. grot anything that would provent Spain from es- teblishing a free government, and, however much be doubted Castolar’s ability to estahlisk such a government in 8pain, ho would not wisk any obatacles put in his way. Tio did not think belligeront rights should be granted the Cnino robels until they could maiutain an open port, and carry thoir flagon the high seas. Merc fooling would impel him to =ay, gravk bollgoront rights, Dbut, a8 n matter of international law, Lo .could nat say 80 until thoy had & port and flag of their own. Cubn wns talked of astho **Key of the Culf," but wo could construct a canal across the Poniusula of Florida aund have the key in ouw own pockets all the time for much less' money than it would cost to capture Cuba, To rotale COuba, wo would hava to keep up s standing floot and army, and bocome one of the fighting pow- ors of the world, That was not our policy. Ous navy was very inforior. It wag badly off. It wanted to be re- nailed. Wo ncoded some kind of a standing navy, but not o standidy army. A large number of our vossels wero built as more oxpedients iy the hastoof war, Tho monitors wore good for Lincbor defonso, but perbaps mot for anything elso, Tho construction and armsment of navies was not well scttlad. They were probloms the world was working at. ‘The improvement of the torpedo systom seemed to be the leading idea just mow. Our mavy was competent to tako jcarc of tho ships in Bpanish-American waters - mow, and thoro would hardly Do timo to got the niore formidablo veescls in Spain across tho Atlantic, sud somo of the bost woro in tho hands of tho imsurgents. Thora would bo uo troublo getting an army. Three snaps of the fingers would bring 100,000 men to tho serateh, It would not be advisable -to at- tompt to take Hayana, which was strongly forti- fled, in front, but in reverse, Tho army could find o landing-placo on the const somowhere, and march through the country. The topogra- phy of tho lund would prosont sorious obstacles to the progress of an army, but our forces could capture tho island without delay or dilficulty. Tho Cubsn insurgonts would sympathize with onr armg at first. Ho had no idea England would try and got hold of Cubu, ns England'e policy was to hold her éwn. We could not por- mit any othor Buropean power to have Cuba. Wo could not permit any other ILuropest power but Spain to old Cubs, any more than wo could permit France to bo on our flank in Mexico, Spain should oithor huvoCubn or thoislaud bo indepondent. Hewas afraid, howover, that, if we caprured it, popular opinion would bo in favor of holding it.
