‘VOLUML 27. THE CHIOAGO TRIBUNE. CEHICAGO DRESS GOODS. . FIELD, WEEKLY TRIBINE | LEITER & Co. THE LEATING NEVSPAPER IN -~ THE NORTAVEST . THE PAPER FOR THE FARMER, MECHANIC, MANUFACTURER, MERCHANT, BANKER, PROFESSIONAL MAW, AND TEE FIRESIDE. PROSPECTUS FOR 1874, The coming yenr promises to be the most eventfulin a political sonse that we have seen since the close of the war. The quostions which have engrossed and divided the public mind quring the past twenty years are rapidly passing away, and wo find growing up in different parts of the country a party called by vari- ous names-+-in California the Indo~ pendent party, in Iowa the Anti- Monopoly party, in Wisconsin the Reform party, in Tllinois tho Farmers’ Movement---having a com- mon purpose end 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 share of its attention to this NEW MAN- IFESTATION OF PUBLIC SENTI- MENT. It holds: ¢ 1st. That the old party organiza- tions are essontislly corrupt and fraudulent, Having no longer any principles to carry into effect, they have become mere 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 that any healthfill reform can flow from the pretended efforts of these worn- out and demoralized partnerships is altogether vain and illusory. 2d. That the tariff- system now in vogue is a cunning device to rob the many for the bonefit of the few, and that its effect is to cause farm pro- duots to exchange for about one-half the gquantity of foreign or ¢ pro- tected” goods they would otherwise buy. 8d. That railroads cannot exaot more than a fair rate of interest on the capital actually invested in them, end that when, in addition to this, they claim dividends on watered stock and fraudulont bonds, the State may rightfully interfere for the protection of the people ; thatunjust disoriminations botween different localities are in violation of law and should be prohibited. 4th. That subsidies or bounties of money, land, or public credit, to railway, steamship, or other corpo- rations, are flagrant abuses of tho powers of government, fraught with the gravest dangors to the poople, and tending to promote corruption, extravagance, speculation, and fine_oinl disastor. ‘Tho goneral character of THR CHICAGO TRIBUNE is too well established to need recapitulation. It is always independent and fear- less in tho exprossion of its views. In its news department it is second to no paper in the United Btatos. The Weckly Edition contains a care- fully propased summary of the news of the week, brought down to the hour of going to press. Litorary, political, financial, so- oial, and agricultural topics will constitute, as heretofore, leading fentures of the Weekly Edition, snd no prins will be spared to incroase Its attractiveness in those depart- ments. Its market reports are un- surpassed, embracing all the infor- mation which farmers requiro for the intelligent transaction of busi- qess, both as sellers and buyers. THE WEEEKLY TRIBUNE is a large cight-pago sheet, of the same size as the Daily Tribune, consisting of fifty-six columns of closely- printed matter, and, as & family newspaper and in its general make- up, is unsurpassed by any paper in tho land. i THE TRIBUNE will be furnished during the ensuing year at the fol- lowing rates, payable in advance: WEEKLY TRIBUNE. - Single Copy.

Special Dispateh to The Chicaro Tribune, WasmiNatoN, D, 0., Nov. 24.—The peoplo have watched eagerly, since the taking of tho Vir- gluius, for o sign from tho Prosidont which would indicate whother he was inolined to war or a diplomatic adjustment of the Spanish difi- oulty, It was natural that the viows of tho Ohiof Magistrato, the groat soldigr who js thought by many to be no loss & groat stntesman, should be looked for with intercat. The position of the Prenldont is not, howaver, one which leaves him freo to publish his porsonsl feclings from tho housotops; and although ho has talked at times with others than those of his own houscheld on this subject, he has done so in tho guarded way natural to and necessary to tho official, The little ko has lot fall has been varionaly interpreted, generally in accordance with the wishes of thoso under whoso observa- tion his moagre exprossions havo fallen, It can o longor be gaineaid that from the first TUE PRISIDENT XAS DEXN ONAFING undor tho restrainta which loave him froe only to act aftor Oongross shall have marked out that which should bo done; that, from tho timo of tho taking of the Virginius, and the inhuman butchory of \her crew, he haus longed to take boldor “and ~ moro saggrossive stops than the lIaw of tho land suthorizes Lim to take. Al- though that which ho has before to-dsy said, oan very properly bo conatrued to sustain tho sbove position, many and bittor complaints have beon utterod againet those who have thus construed his positfon, as sensntional and ox- aggorating news-mougers, who only caro to croato oxcitement, and who to do o are willing to fuvolve tho President and country, IN AN INTERVIEW which the Presidont hind to-day with a promi. nent Weatern Congrossman, Lo spoko most frocly and uurosorvedly on this subject. Thig interviow is o sufllciont answor to thoso who liave charged that improper motives have actu- ated nowspapor correspondents who bave in- terproted his position as that of » man who be- lieves that the United Btates hna ?lwl cause for war with BSpain unless immedlate and full reparation 18 made by tho latter power, In the conversation alluded to, the Spanish complication was fully disoussed. Tho Prosl dent, in most unmisinkable lnumxnfiu rogrotted that not ouly tho Conutitution prohilited him from taking Immediato action to seouro ropar~ ation for an_jusult offersd to the Amor- jcan flng, but that s law of 1868 paesed for the pnmuna of lying tho hauds of Androw Johnson algo hampored him, o oliuded to the aot of muuf; the VirgInius na an unlawful ono, and the shooting down of Amerioan citizons by Burriel es brutalund unjustifiablo; and he conatruos the two sots, togethor with thomanner in which the official reprosontative of the United Btatos, Vico-Consul Schmitt, was troated as n de- liborafo insult to the Unitod Blates, offorod in cold blood and with o full underatanding of all tho importance and gravity of the offonso.

When it was romarked fo him ihat, had tho victims of Burriol's brutality boon Brftish sub- jocts tho old lion would hava roused to a speedy and foarful avonging of tho crimo, o quiokly rojoined that thoro would have baon in this caso L\m 08 much prompt and doclsive action taken y the Amoricsn Govornment as could posaibly hayo boen takon by tho Government of Gront Dritain, if the Ohto? Magistrato hiad not boen so rostricted by tho Conatitution and tho laws as that Lo ooufd go no furthor than to onter a pro- test and await action by Congross, WHAT THB MESGAGE WILL RECOMMEND, Tho Progidont anid that in his message hio would Iny before Oongross all thio faots boaring upon tho cago that shall haye como into tho posscssion of tho Govornment: aud thon, he addod, igniticantly, five doys wlil bo amplo timo in which to decide as to the proper notion to he talkon by Congross in tho caso. ~ The Prosident snid ho was -~ 3 IN FAVOR OF ¥REE OUDA, but that ho did not mean by that inat he favor- ed an annoxntion, although” he belloved that in timo mnnoxation would bo nccumgflahed in tho notural course of things, _In alluding to tho ro Intions sustained by the United Btates Govorn ment with tho Spanish Government, tho Pros- ident said thut TUE CASTELAR REFUDLIC AND THE UNITED BTATES WERE NATURAL ALLIES; * that they had common intorests, common sympathy, colimon aims, and common frionds, e ndded that tho enomies of one are tho eno- mios of tho other. While this is tho caso, the rolations subsisting betwoon the Castelar Ropub- llo, and tho -Spanish Cubs are not friondly; nnd. the ordors and_ directions of tho Homo Gov- ernment aro likelyto bo oveded, disoboyed, and Ignored by the Govorument suthoritios in Qubn, whonover by any protext such a result onn be accomplishad ; bo that, whilo the Castolar Gov- ornment is hufdmu‘pnusihln and copnot evado tho rosponsibility for tho aots of the Bpanish suthoritios in Cuba, yoi tho latter can om- boirass tho formor fo tho groatest oxtent, whilo the Home Governmont is powerloss to ar- roat tho ovil till tho mischilof i done, Theraisno love lost among the Bpanish authoritics in Quba for the Unlladi!tnlun.
