THE LEADING NEWSPAPER IN THE NORTHWEST. THE PAPER FOR TIE FARMER, MECHARIC, MANUFACTURER, MERCHANT, BANKER, PROFESSIONAL MIAR, AND THE FIRESIDE, PROSPLECTUS FOR 1874, The coming year promises to be the most eventful in a political senso that we havo seen sinco the olosd of tho war. Tho quostions which bave engrossed and divided tho public mind during the past twonty years aro rapidly passing awey, and wo find growing up in difforent parts of tho country o party called by verie ous nomes---in Californin the Inde- pendent party, in Iowa the Anti- Monopoly party, in Wisconsin tho Roform porty, in Illinois tho Tarmers’' Movement---having a com~ mon purpose and inspiration, and exhibiting a strength which proves that it answors one of tho chief de- mands of tho hour. Thoe CHICAGO TRIBUNE will givo & largo share of its attontion to this NE'W IMAN- IFESTATION OF PUBLIC SENTI- MENT, It holds: 1st. That tho old party orgamza- tions aro essentially corrupt and fraudulent, Having no longer any principles to carry into offect, they havo become mere businoss enter- prises, making a show of opposition to ench other, but really sharing in the proceeds of profiigate and dis- honest legislation. To suppose that any healthful reform can flow from tho protended eiforts of these worn- out end domoralized partnorships is altogether vain and illusory. 2d. That the terifl’ system now in voguo is n cunning dovice to yob the many for tho boneflt of tho fow, and ihat its efiect is to causo farm pro- ducts to exchange for about one-half the quantity of foreign or ¢ pro- tected” goods they would otherwise buy. 3d. That railroads cannot exact moro than a fair rate of interest on tho capital nctually invested in thom, and that when, in addition to this, thoy claim dividonds on weterod stock and fraudulent bonds, the Statemay rightfully interfere for the protection of tho people ; thatunjust disoriminations botwoen different localitios are in violation of law and should bo prohibited. 4th. That subsidies or bountios ol money, land, or public crodit, to reilway, stoamship, or othor corpo- rations, are flagrant abusos of the powers of government, iraught with tho gravest dangers to the people, ond tonding to promote corruption, oxtravaganco, speculation, and financial disastor. .The gonoral charactor of THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE is too well established to necd rocapitulation, It is always indopondent and foar- loss in tho expression of its viows. Inits nows department it is socond to no paper in ths United States. The Weckly Edition containr a care- fully propared summary of the news of the weelk, brought down to the hour of going to pross.
